Where should I transfer after community college?

I have the same problem. I’m trying to get my general coursework done, but I have no idea where to transfer to next. I was planning to graduate this spring and I have no idea what to do. A lot of the other schools around the area are very expensive and I can’t live on a campus in an unfamiliar area. (I’m from a small town fairly close to the city) Obviously I’m staying in state and would like to remain close, but I don’t even know what to major in.

I’ve been thinking of taking a little time off from school so that I can think it over and decide, but what will I tell my parents? The only way they’ll allow me to stay is if I either have a job or if I’m going to college. They know I’ve been struggling to find local, part-time, entry-level work and I’m afraid they’ll kick me out if I told them. They can be very strict about the rules.

I’m so scared and I feel completely lost. I haven’t been able to even gather information about the schools, let alone visit them. Any ideas on how to handle this would be very helpful.
