Undecided and Lost

It might be helpful to read the course descriptions in your college catalog (or in the catalog of 4-year schools in your state if your college doesn’t offer much) to see what kind of classes they offer. Make a list of any that seem interesting to you. One of my siblings did that her 2nd year of college. Turned out there were a lot of engineering courses on her list so that’s what she majored in. She ended up loving it and has done really well.

I agree with those who recommend getting a degree. I think it can be difficult to get interviews without one. You might want to look through the want ads for your region to see what types of jobs are available, what seems interesting to you, and what type of education they require.

It sounds like you’re at a cc. Is that true? Not all community colleges are equal. Some have more limited options than others so it can be difficult to choose a degree path. How are you paying for school? We’re in NYS and our biggest grant is available only to students who just graduated from high school, and continued eligibility is tied to timely completion of the degree. If your state funding is like that I can understand why your mom wanted you to attend right away.
