Marshalscienceguy Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) I cant pick a major I want to go to school and I am interested in many subjects. Most of them involving science. I have slimmed it down to four but I don't know if that is too many. Accounting: Taxes, dealing with money and credit scores Psychology:Sociology, abnormal psychology and dealing with children and dealing with coworkers and presenting yourself. Parsitology: covers chemistry, microbiology, and computer knowledge. physics: Psychology and accounting will help you at life and help you get a job. Everyone needs to deal with money and taxes everyday and psychology helps you understand how to deal with people. You also need to have good social skills if you are going to work in the medical field. Accountants are also required to have good presentation skills and how to communicate well with others. Psychology also gives you the means and ability to deal with a variety of people in the correct way. Psychology, biology and Chemistry says how the body works and how the body and various things react to certain chemicals and how people react to each other. So they all fall into the medical field. What should I do? people keeps saying things will be easier if I get a degree, that I can get a better jobs with a degree and I need to pick one and go to college but I cant pick one even if I want to go. Most of the sciences are connected in some way. world is connected and everything is effected by everything else. People are effected by life stock and the eviorment and people behavior is effected by chemicals in their body's, This effects psychology and sociology which is also effected by the government and social standards, than one day we can all be blown up because something like our sun died and killed us all or our galaxy collided with another one and messed up earths orbit.

CaptainPanic Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Yes, many of the sciences are connected. Luckily, for example, if you study chemistry, you will most certainly learn maths and physics too. At my university, we even had courses in presentation skills, and even some basic ethics and entrepreneurship (learning how to write a business case). Also, later in your career, if you go into the science/engineering/medical field you will probably work in a multi-disciplinary team, together with people who have all the other necessary skills. (This may not be the case in accounting, but I am not sure about that). When you evaluate the chance of getting a job with your future diploma, make sure to also take into account how many other people are doing the same job. Sometimes it helps to make a list, and then create some criteria (fondness of the topic, job security, possible income, etc). Then you should rank the different majors. You can even attach a different weight to the criteria. If the result of that process feels good, then keep it. If it feels wrong, then you know which major you do not want to take, and you should probably re-evaluate the criteria and the ranking. (Yes, in such a process it is easy to lie to yourself). In the end, this is indeed a big choice, but the only one who can make it is you. Do not ask other people what they would choose. Ask people for useful information so you can make your choice. 2
