    Right now, I’m finding a hard time to decide what to major in. No one really talk about this s--- to me when I was in HS. Never learned how to dream before so I’m here stuck on what to do. I just want to know how did you decide what you want to do for college and life etc.

    Your general ed classes are a great way to figure it out. I knew vaguely the direction I wanted to go and those classes helped solidify it. Try things out that you're even somewhat interested in to fulfil those credits and the go from there. People don't know what they wanna do and change their minds all the time.

    You'll do fine with english. Journalism, english, comm, media studies are all wanted for the same general types of jobs I've found when job hunting.

    I did english and comm double major cuz it allowed me to study a lot of different forms of media like you said.

    Well I don’t know what classes in America are equal to, but I guess majoring is a degree?

    I thought about psychology. It’s interesting but if all else fails after military... I might just be a opp or security somewhere I’ll get paid good.
