I don’t know what I should major in, just a useless

BA in Behavorial Science (combo of Psych, Soc, History, Anthropology, and Economics) or try for a BS in something hard but with good career prospects like chemistry? I have always been a good student but I dunno if I have enough passion for science. And for as long as I’ve been in school I just wanted out. My bf is going to a super prestigious engineering school and I don’t want him to be disappointed in me for not living up to my potential. 20 is too young to pick one field to specialize in forever! But the job market sucks for people with just BAs.

I’m right there with you. Come be an environmental science major with me and then we’ll work for some non-profit for a few years while we try and figure out what to do with our lives.
