well the funny thing is im in the same situation. What i''m doing it taking classes in that area to get a feel of what I would be more comfotrable doing. You want to do something you love but at the same time you want to get a job once you get out of school. Someone once told me do what pays first then do what you like. Some people are able to do both but I think the smart thing to do it make sure you have a job once you get out of school so that you can be stable enough to do what you want to do. I don't think I really answered your question but hopefully I helped a little.

I, too, am strugglinig with the same thing.


As of now, I've decided to go for psychology.


I'm at a loss for what it's called. lol.


But do you know how when parents get divorced sometimes it's


mandatory for the kid to go to therapy, well, I want to be the therapist.


I'm still not sure, but narrowing down your options,


or at least crossing things off your list is a start.

one is always good or a family counselor.

As the others have said psychology is a good way to go. If that doesn't appeal to your tastes try social working. Thats always a good way to go. I plan to major in Psychology and minor in all the other fields surrounding it.
