I am having a huge problem picking a college major and minor....any advice?

Question

Okay, I thought I wanted to do law but I about fell asleep reading the curriculum. I am going to a community college for two years before transferring to a university. So here are a few things about me...

-I'm outraged when I see women plead insanity after killing their kids.
-I think pedophiles need harsher laws.
-I wanted to be an anthropologist when I was little, and still have a lot of interest in it.
-I wanted to go into forensics but I am too squeamish to deal with blood and guts.
-I love studying old stuff
-When I graduated from high school I had a 99-100 average in US History, World History, and Western Civ.

So what should I do because I'm lost, I thought I would take Sociology but I am bored to death with that.

Well I have a little advice,
1. You may consider seeing a counselor at your cc, they have entire tests you can take online that help with this decision,
2. You are just at a CC, DONT worry about it right now. Most students dont pick a major until they are a Junior, and some even as a senior and then go an extra year. Dont worry about it, itll probably come naturally to you once you get to your university and you take a few classes- and find one you love a lot. You have time!

Answer 2

my community college had a great career counselor! you might want to ask.

as for:

-I'm outraged when I see women plead insanity after killing their kids.
-I think pedophiles need harsher laws: you definitely dont need to go into law as aristotle said "law is reason free from passion" and to think like a lawyer you need to be able to think from both sides with no passion.

-I wanted to go into forensics but I am too squeamish to deal with blood and guts: me too and honestly ever since CSI came out so many people have been wanting to do this that it is tough to get a job (according to professors)

-I wanted to be an anthropologist when I was little, and still have a lot of interest in it.
-When I graduated from high school I had a 99-100 average in US History, World History, and Western Civ. These things are awesome! being an anthropologist seems like a neat job and i know that at least here in texas anthropology professors are really needed!
