What career suits me.

Hello! I've just graduated from highschool and i need to chose the university that I want to follow. But i'm very confused. Since I was child I have been dreaming about having my own business and this is why I thought about studying Business Administration. But I also like: informatics especially creating databases
economy
languages (english, french, spanish) and I would like to study arabic
clothes...and this is why I thought about designing clothes
to help other people to resolve their problems

I don't know what's the best to study taking into consideration that I would like to earn enough money for travelling abroad (I love travelling)...
I know that I should study something that I would like to do for the next 30 years, something that doesn't make me bored, something that I love to do... But the problem is that i don't know what's that "something"... I think that i'm the only one that can find that "something" but maybe that you have some suggestions or maybe that you know how to discover that "something"...

You worry too much. The majority of people change their minds after or during their first year of college. You can always transfer schools. Just apply to a decent school and go from there. If you like traveling, most universities have study abroad programs, where they will send you overseas to study. Or, perhaps you should look into Universities abroad. If you look to UK universities, they are actually cheaper than American universities of the same caliber.

Also, if you were to study in the UK, traveling to Europe is really cheap. You could fly from most places in the UK to France, Italy, Spain, Greece...etc. for under $100 round-trip.

In conclusion, do not worry about picking a career now, the first year and half of your Undergraduates degree won't really apply to your specific career anyway. So, worry less about your career, and more about what the school has to offer in terms of experience.

Good Luck.

Excellent answer above! You do need to follow what is in your heart, and as you have said, "something that I love to do..." A college or university education and experience is the place to try things out. They will have academic advisors there who will help to guide you also.

If you are moved in a certain directions, i.e. informatics, economy, languages and clothes, concerning a career according to the desires of your heart, you might also go and ask people who are doing certain jobs that you are interested in, what they think of what they are doing and what it takes to do the jobs.

Do your best on what you decide to do and work on your way up!

I declared my majors when I was a freshman-accounting, then I got recruited to engineering department, second semester of freshman year. So once u start college, u will get influnced by your peer, your professors...so don't worry too much now. I can talk to your professors, professionals and career center. I think the early u decide your major the better, it works great for me at least!

Remember, the more work u put, the more you get out of it! No shortcut in life. Interest comes first also think about if it is practical to study it!
