What should I do about college?! please help.?

Question:

I know I need to go to college. I know this. I graduated from h.s. last year and I decided a year off is what I needed. I don't know what to major in. I suck at everything. Science,math,english..and all the other typical stuff. I am really concerned with the future. I want a career that is family friendly, won't take up all of my time, something I know I will love and want to stay with. Is there like a test online that I could take that shows what my strengths are. I am very interested in acting and modeling and that stuff. Its fun to do as a hobby but I need to think reality here. and advice?

If you enjoy acting then you can take drama and be in a play in college. Your first year in college is like being in high school but without the rules. Try a semester and if it is not for you then you don't have to go back.

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you, I basically looked up "best career tests" and other variations of this on Google.

Here's some links you could start with ... Good luck!

http://jobsearch.about.com/od/careertest... (scroll to bottom it'll say "top career tests")

http://secure.actualme.com/offer.php?id=... (more of a personality based career test)

http://www.careerkey.org/ (if you don't mind paying money ... I haven't done this so idk how it is)

Basically there are plenty of tests out there for you to take, and books you could buy, so you just have to search and find the right ones for you that open up a new opportunity for you!

Since you don't like science,math and etc but you like art, why don't you consider culinary or stuffs like that. It's not just about cooking but it is also an art. In the long run, perhaps you can open your own restaurant or do some catering jobs. Good day!

Go to your nearest unemployment office and ask them about taking a career test to see what you might be interested in. I know it sounds weird, but it might help out a little bit.

Get a communication degree. It's what every sorority girl or lazy frat guy majors in. You can then get a masters in the same and teach at a community college. Easy 60k for just making some high school drop-outs do in class speeches.

The best way to get through college for the first year is to go undeclared and I say that because you will be doing general education for your first two years of college (English, math, science, history, etc.). You will make your major choice in a couple of years, when you find a major program that best fits you. Typically, you will find your major choice when you take your GE classes.

Second, if you feel concerned about your future career path, go to your college career center. When a student, you can go to the campus career center and have a meeting with a professional counselor that will help you on your path to something that will work for you.

Lastly, enjoy college and don't worry!
