Could you help me in choosing a college course?


I'm now a third year student but I'm still undecided what college course would I take. I somewhat consider computer programming but I felt forced to like it. Please help me with this problem and you can also suggest some college courses except nursing (i'm already decided not to take this course.. )
Thank you and God bless

Did you already finish your general education?

I switched my major many times my first 2 years of college because I took such a broad range of classes. I had so many subjects that interested me that it was hard to differentiate between hobbies and potential careers.

If you haven't taken an array of classes, you should just relax and explore some other subject areas.. Even if you don't need to take any more credits for your undergrad. Rushing into a field you are unsure of will only complicate your life down the line. Don't be afraid to take it slow.

There is also this personality survey I took back in high school that narrows down career groups to ones that suit you. You can probably find a similar survey/test online or from your school counselor.

Good luck!

By the way, my major is Microbiology. It began as History, then Marketing/Advertising, then general Business, then Economics, then Nursing, then gen Bio, and now Microbio.

I failed Bio in high school and would have NEVER guessed in a million years I would dedicate my life to it. Be open to anything right now.

business

business and accounting

I can't really suggest a course to someone I know virtually nothing about, but I can give a small amount of advise.

Try to choose something that you could see yourself still enjoying 20 years from now. One who enjoys what he/she does for a living never really has to work.

you should probably find a course of study that lines up with classes you have already taken. Otherwise you will have to add more semesters to complete your degree.
If you dont feel like moving, look around at your local jobs to see who is hiring and try to pick something applicable. You can relax this if you dont mind moving elsewhere. programming is usually good. in many cases IT is good. Education, as in teachers are usually in demand. I would suggest engineering, such as chemical/electrical/civil/mechanical, but those programs usually take 4 years by themselves and are strongly tracked.
as others have mentioned I'm sure business or accounting are somewhat useful, and to a lesser degree, pure math.

Something you enjoy, if you like science do Biology, like to read? take english....etc
