How to Go About It
Hi, I’m having a lot of trouble concentrating and choosing something I want to dedicate to in life. I started out in Geology, switched to English, am gonna graduate from English, but am thinking of doing a second bachelor afterwards. This is highly impractical as its very expensive and there is rarely any financial help for a second bachelors. My problem is that I want both art and science. However its better to focus on an area and take hobbies on the side, but I can’t decide. For science I was thinking of Indiana University Bloomington and its Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, maybe combine with Anthropology or Animal Behavior since the university is flexible towards doubles. I like the idea of traveling to different locations, learning to appreciate our Planet, being outdoors, and knowing how everything is formed like mountains and waterfalls, and exploration in general sounds amazing to me (I did start out in Geology). The artistic career is possibly in film, and so far I’m favoring SCAD for this (Savannah College of Art and Design). There are various areas I like, such as Animation, Sound Design, Sequential Art, Production Design and Performing Arts. I did a film minor which made me be very interested in filmmaking and similar art forms. I enjoy creative freedom and expression, though I’m afraid of the industry as there is possibility of a lot of competition, not to mention that there’s a chance I fail to “dazzle” with my work. My problem is that I want a career where I know I’m making a difference, that I’ll contribute in some way to our society, help people in any way, whether it be by taking safety measures for hazardous areas or entertaining them by giving them something they can identify with or can simply enjoy. I know that in the end it’s really up to me, but I don’t know how to go about it. I’ve made countless lists of pros/cons for each career/major but I’m always worried I’ll be miserable wherever I end up in. Also, just the fact that I’m afraid of doing another bachelor’s is enough to put me off. I also consider an alternate route of studying a certificate sort of program. In Vancouver there is a pretty good school but it doesn’t fully convince me. I love dogs too so I considered the Animal Behavior College to get certified as a trainer but that’s something I’d like to do as a hobby of sorts, so I really just... well, don’t know.

Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
So it sounds like you have no idea what your really want to do....
Personally I'm just like you. I still to this day have no idea what I want to do in life. However I've recently found out what I want to do and I'll tell you what helped me find that out.
For me I wanted to be Pararescue in the Air Force. I volunteered at a fire station and became a EMT/firefighter. I then found out I dont like the medical field and I wasn't very happy for a while. I then found a piece of advice when talking to my grandfather.
"Just do what makes you happy and screw the consequences, spend your life doing something you love and spend your life with people who live you"
I hope this advice helps. Good luck
