Hey guys. So I’m having a crisis. I’m going into my junior year, and next year is very important to me because I need to get my gpa up and figure out what I want to do in college and career wise.
Since I was little, I’ve wanted to be a veterinarian. But now that I only have one parent and a sibling very close behind me, I really do not think this is a good decision. I’m not great at math and I would be very far in debt for a long time, especially since I’m going to want to own my own practice. And go on vacation and live comfortably. (My dream house would be on a horse farm lol)
Then, I started getting interested in forensic science and becoming a detective for the FBI (like on criminal minds, the TV show.) but they don’t make fantastic cash either, especially for startup (obviously).
I’m also considering becoming a physical therapist for animals. Or a dentist…my aunt & uncle are dentists (they have their own specialties though, which I’d consider) and they live in a mansion and go on vacation a ton. But have been working for a while now.
Lastly, a marketing manager or business manager. I’m interested in advertising and design.

So I’m very group oriented and love science and working hands on. But marketing is the exception there lol.
Anyways, in terms of success rate and salary, which would you recommend for a major?
I know you can’t decide for me but Im having a real crisis and I need to have an idea really soon to schedule my classes around a major for next year. Thanks so much!
