That could really be a lot of things. Just write down all the things that interest you and see which one you like the most. Remember that you have a whole year until you go to college, and even then, your future isn’t set in stone. Take as much time as you need in the next year. I’m going into college in a few weeks and I wasn’t sure what to do for a while. I kept changing my mind between like 10 different things, and that’s after I had really narrowed it down. So really, just take your time with this and find something you really enjoy.

Hope I’ve helped. Good luck!

Don’t sweat it–not yet, anyway. The average college freshman will change majors two or three times before they graduate–and five years past graduation, something like only one in four people are working in a job related to their college major. There are only a few majors (engineering, maybe pre-med) where you have to start taking required courses right away–most people spend a lot of their first year or two taking general ed courses and electives that will work for any major.

Try different things and see what you like. As you go along, you’ll probably find yourself more excited about some courses more than others, and that will give you some ideas for a direction you might want to go from there. The college career center can probably help, too–they’ll have some tests and assessments you can take, and advisors who can help you figure out what you’re good at and what you can do with that.

Even if you graduate without a clear idea of exactly what kind of job you want, you won’t have wasted your time. You will have learned how to communicate better, and analyze data to solve problems, and think critically, and get along with all kinds of people–and those are essential skills for any job, not to mention for the rest of life! A lot of employers expect to train new hires in their business anyway–they just want people with that kind of basic abilities and the potential to learn and succeed. A college degree demonstrates you have all that.

So don’t think you have to have it all figured out right now–you might end up studying something you never expected, and working in a field you never knew existed before you started college. That’s what happened to me–now I’m working as an advisor for a college!
