So today I just jumped over this forum to glance at the college majors…since I realized I really have no idea what I want to major in and pursue. I was wondering if you guys could help me out and give me a few ideas and suggestions for possible majors and careers.

My passion is mainly English; though I’ve been losing enthusiasm lately for my English class as it seems to become a philosophical/political discussion. From what I’ve heard, most college English classes tend to go this direction too. I feel like I’m more of a person who simply enjoys writing and reading.

I enjoy science too, but can’t see the practicality of a science major unless I want to pursue med school (which I don’t at this time). Also, I believe that medical careers are only for those who are truly motivated to become doctors & etc., and I feel as if I lack that desire. Science fields with heavy math would probably not appeal to me either; as I unfortunately dislike pure math.

I know it sounds like I’m not attracted to any possible major or career, which is my problem.

A summary:

-Love english, but don’t like how English classes turn into philosophical and political arguments (I feel that I encounter enough opinions and discussion just through talking with people)

-Enjoy science, but unsure of what possible careers there are. Also dislike math slightly, though applied math is okay.

Thanks for reading…any suggestions?
