Major: Undecided
I have to choose a major and fast in order to pick out the right school to apply and transfer to. But I don't know what I want to major in, (I keep changing my major), and I only have one semester left to decide. I already have my general education done, next semester is reserved for classes that I am interested in to help pick a major out.
I guess right now my options are to apply to a school that I like that offers the major I have been interested for the longest time, or stop school and work full time, and maybe take a few classes for fun on the side. But if I take the second route, my parents won't pay for my education because to them making a pause is the same as dropping out and being a failure, etc, etc, so when I do pick a major, I'll have to pay for college on my own.
What do I do? And any tips on picking out a major? Thanks!
Oh, and I'm currently enrolled full time at a junior college, and have a 3.2 GPA if that matters.

Definitely talk to an academic adviser at your JC.
I don't know what you're tossing around for your major options, but just try to find a school with the most of those options to offer. At least if you try one and end up not liking it after a semester or two, you can change course without leaving school.
If you honestly do have to decide on one, just honestly pick the one that makes you the happiest. Look at all the classes you have to take for the different majors and just see which one you can do the best at.
I hope you mange to find something. Good luck!

At your school now, is there a counselor or advisor that you can talk to? They are extremely helpful in helping you pick the right classes and determining a major. I changed my major many times, and it's perfectly normal. Today, it's common that students don't know what they want to do until they're in their late 20s AND people change careers an average of twice in their lifetime. Think about what you LIKE doing. Do you like writing or drawing? Do you like science and doing equations? Think about what you would do if money didn't matter at all and you were able to do whatever you wanted (not sit around all day!) These things can't be rushed though. I'd really suggest talking to a school advisor though and give him/her some options of what you like to do and are interested in.
