I know the feeling. I went through the same thing for a while as well. I wanted to be a pediatrician then a musician, then engineer, welder, back to musician, etc… I have finally settled on Applied Sociology. This sounds strange considering it wasn’t one of my original thoughts. I chose this major because I thought it was unique and provided an intellectual selection of careers. Three things that helped me decide against the other major/career paths were 1. Figuring out what I DIDN’T like about those options. Engineering for example, I don’t mind doing math, but I would be miserable if that was a prime focus in my career. 2. Exploring career options. For example, if you have one of your majors that you have “temporarily” chose think to yourself, “What work can I get with this major?” And " Is the work something that satisfys my goals?". 3. How can I incorporate potential majors into more interest/hobbie. This one is confusing but stick with me. I REALLY wanted to be a keyboard player for a long time. Playing in Broadway pits and such. After a while, I started to realize all opportunities I was forgoing by pouring myself into music; This began to eat away at me. Eventually I figured out that I can incorporate music easily into my life with side gigs and such. For example, photography and illustration. I’m not well versed in these fields but they seem like something you could incorporate as a FANTASTIC hobbie and such. I hope this helps, and GOOD LUCK I hope you find a path : )
