My adive to you would be to talk to your adviser and see what he/she can help you with. Another great thing you could do is go to a career fair. Almost all colleges have them at some point and it gives you a chance to check out lots of different jobs and talk to people who do them and get a perspective on what you might like to do. Hope this helps.

I would encourage you to seek your major under undecided for now. From the courses you have listed, you will have time to seek what career choice interest you more, and then you can choose your major accordingly. Right, now you should focus on getting your general education credits OUT OF THE WAY. Today, the way things are going, no job is guaranteed great pay. The reason I say this is because it is better to work in a field you enjoy and appreciate beyond the money.

I also recommend that you talk with your academic advisor at college. Mine helped me alot because I had the same problem when I first started college. You can also do a web search on various careers, read the salary, read the job requirements and definition of the job description. Also make sure to read the degree requirement,then do some research at college to see how many credits or classes are needed to obtain that specific degree..

Great JOB in going to college! I wish you the best of luck. I am positive that you will do well in all you have set out for yourself.

If you like helping people maybe you would want to be some kind of counselor or theripist? What kind of helping do you like? For example: I like to help people with their romantic relationships so I am going to be a couples counselor. Or maybe make a list of those things you like and bring it to your advisor and see how many of those interests you can combine into a dream job for you...like someone who travels in order to help people less fortunate...that would combine your love of travel and love to help others.

Have you thought about being a veternarian? Many horse farms need traveling vets.You go from one farm to another. How about working for people that race horses, they travel all around the world. How about working with Animal Rescue League. They save animals. Forest Rangers work outdoors and help animals. There are soooooo many options out there. Talk to a guidence counselor, they will help guide you in the right direction.
