I'm going for a degree in business management. I don't know exactly what I want to do yet, but I know I want to run my own business.
They usually can tell you what they think you'd be good at, but only the OP can know what he wants in his life
I am a freshman in college, in the same spot. I have determined that as long as I have full benefits (insurance, 401k, no weekeneds, etc, etc,) I will be happy in a job, whatever it may be

Are you at Kennesaw State? I started out doing Engineering/Physics but over the course of 4 years it has morphed into Economics. I like mathematics so I tried to find classes that I enjoyed taking and eventually I realized that Economics was the most interesting to me. What classes that you've taken have you really enjoyed?

I'm at the same crossroad. I can either do something practical that I am not necessarily interested in, or something that I am interested but won't necessarily get me a good or steady job.
Best thing to do is to find something that you are interested in and try to get an internship or volunteer over the summer. Working for little dough will really let you know if you want to do it.

Why are you spending money at college if you dont know what you want to do?
engineering! I love it! And theres ALWAYS! a need for an engineer, no matter what it is!
That's why a lot of people go to college. It's the whole point of a college education. :shrug:
You don't go to college to learn how to do a specific job. You go to college to become exposed to the world, different ideas, and different subjects. Most people don't go into college knowing what they want to do in their life.
That's why states make you take classes like philosophy, psychology, government, history, basket weaving, etc in college.
If he didn't want advise he wouldn't have posted here. Everyone is gonna say what they think is best.
I'm a biology major and would love to work with a conservation group, or maybe for DNR. My dream job would be to work at one of the big aquariums.
I am an Electrical engineering student graduating in may 2010 and have found out if i am willing to move i can get a job pretty easily even in this crap economy its tough work but well worth it in the end..

Damn I go to a liberal arts college
I'm hoping to get into marketing or maybe HR departments with my comm. major and business minor.
IMO, if you've made it through two full years, and still aren't sure what you want to do, you should consider taking a break from school.
Nothing wrong with taking your time to figure out what you want to do, but the last thing you want is (assuming you stay in scool w/ no general plan) is to have nearly 3 years of BS classes that count nothing towards a degree, then having to start all over once you decide on a degree.
Again, just my advice, but I've seen way to many friends have to start over towards a degree from scratch after already having been in college for several years. And yes, the majority get a year or 2 in THAT degree then burn-out/tire of college for good.

Oh, and +1 on getting a co-op/intern to help give you a good idea.
Only problem is, for the majority of co-ops/interns now they require you to already be working towards a degree in that field...
