As a general rule for choosing a major, tell an adult who is at least 50 what you want to major in. If he/she asks you “How are you going to make money at that?” and your answer is “It isn’t always about money. When did you become so cynical?”, then you need to rethink your major!
When I was a kid I was constantly harangued by my parents and grand parents to do well in school so that I could get into a good college. That was the road map they believed in.
Being the iconoclast that I am, I ignored them all and went straight into the workforce after high school. In time, most of my siblings followed the lead of our uncles and aunts and did at least four years of college.
Didn’t bother me, because I made more money than all of them, but some time in my forties I recognized the fact that every one of them had become a hopelessly indoctrinated liberal. Some even radically so.
I truly don’t regret skipping that experience.
Learn a real skill. Practice making a very useful item (anything that people would really want) as a hobby for now. Ignore the crazy end-of-the-world distraction propaganda in order to be ready to compete, when the time comes.
If any moron needs this info to begin with, they should not be allowed into college.
