I came to realize that, as an extremely curious person, I like learning pretty much anything in school. So I’ve had some trouble trying to find my real interests.
It’s not that I feel out of sorts in any class at the moment, I know I can complete any major I want. It’s just that I’d like to keep studying after my bachelor’s and I’m afraid that if I don’t choose the right career path now, then I might not enjoy postgraduate education in my field, since master’s and PhD research topics tend to be highly specialized in most disciplines.
So what kind of “technical”/academic field do you think I should get into? Ideally, it’d be something broad enough to allow me to learn and explore outside of my specialization.
Most people have many different interests, including many different academic fields of study they would enjoy pursuing. The question will become not which one are you solely interested in, but which one are you interested in enough to pursue a major in for a variety of different reasons (interest, relationship to the kind of career you’d like, skills learned, etc.)
First of all, don’t make any decisions about whether you want to continue past your BA yet. Wait until you are further along in college to definitively decide - you may change your mind and you may not need a graduate degree.
Many fields overlap and intersect, and so you could pick almost any field that will allow you to explore outside of your initial “field”. But do realize that if you get an MA and especially a PhD you will be specializing a lot. That doesn’t mean that you can’t draw from the approaches of other fields, and the background knowledge - but at some point you have to decide what you want to drill down into. PhD study is purposefully very narrow.
Are you in college? What year? And how do you “know you can complete any major you want?” I’m not trying to be rude, but I find this to be highly unlikely. If there are some courses you really like, try taking upper division courses in those fields, and THEN see if you still like them. Most of the time you’ll find that you only like a class enough to keep as a hobby.
