Admissions Advice

Can't decide what I want to be
Answered

I'll be applying for College next year. But I don't know what I want to do for living or what I want to study next.

I want to do something that'll help people. So I can contribute to the society, also pays well. I have interest in art, leadership, practical learning. Can anyone help me choose my major?

you can also consider art therapy! This helps people and includes art. It is about average pay though. Depending on where you live and work.

Its a very hard task to find a major that consist of art, high paying, and "help people" as it is hard to define these qualitative traits.

Art + Pays well = Graphic Designer, Drafter, Landscape Architect, interior designer, any art(than become an art director)

Pays well + help people = pre-med, pharmaceutical, nursing, health science, healthcare administration

Art + Help people = there is no major, you choose to do what you please with your art education and that can be helping people.

Thank you. I think I'll research more about health science. Im also thinking about agriculture. What kind of career can I have studying agriculture?

@BRL102 years ago

Agriculture tends to be about produce/foods/farmland/irrigation. It doesn’t tie into art or high paying(with exceptions of ownership). It’s not necessarily a bad profession but the job opportunities stay very similar. If you want a very high paying job, I’d highly recommend traveling nurse since they pay for your food and travels on top of your high salary. For art that pays well, you can do UX or UI designing. If I wasn’t a mechanical engineering major I would choose UI designing.
