University and my Career??
So I have basically accepted that everything that I am interested in doing with my life dooesn't really make a lot of money-which I am okay with. Life isnt about money and id mt career is something I enjoy then money really doesn't matter inthe end anyway.
I am in my first year at university and I am so unsure of whatrI een want to major in! Either major in World Religions & Culture and Minor in Social work or vis versa. What kind of jobs can I even get with this? What will I have more hope in? Just give me any advice, stories, or pointer that you have on this topic please:)

You're already on the right path when you stated that "life isn't about money & your career is something you enjoy". If you end up choosing a career path that you truly love doing, then you will have a really good chance of living a life that's both comfortable & fulfilling. It's passion for what you're doing that will make it all worth while.
What jobs can you get? If you're really passionate about the topics, you can always become a professor in your chosen field (with additional work in teaching, etc.), a social worker (maybe dealing with cases of abandoned children, etc.), even a research assistant (social research related to religions & culture).
What will you have more hope in? Well my best answer would be "whatever you are most passionate about". Since it's your first year, you may not be so passionate about any of these fields because you're just starting. However, a lot of people end up changing their majors several times before their third year in college so don't worry, what you're feeling right now is completely normal.
Stories: I actually changed my major three times before I finally finished in a field I can honestly say I'm truly passionate about. I went from being a computer science major, to an accounting major, to a marketing major and finally decided to follow my passion towards child psychology. I'm now working on my Masters towards child psychology mainly because it has always been my dream to find some way to help mankind as a career.
Advice: Usually your first year of uni is a year where you can explore different fields to find what you're truly passionate about. Once you figure that out, stick with it and strive to learn all you can because you may discover ways that you yourself could improve the field. :)
Good luck in whatever you choose to do. Just the fact that you're even asking these questions makes me believe that you'll truly find your path eventually. :)
