So many majors, so little time?
Thanks for CollegeBoard.com, here are some majors that tickle my fancy [but not them all]:
Animal Behavior/Ethology, Animal Genetics, Animal Physiology, Art Teacher Education, Arts – General, Biology, Commercial Photography, Commercial/Advertising Art, Design/Visual Communications, Digital art, Drawing, Ecology, Economics, Environmental Biology, European History, Fashion Design, Fashion Merchandising, Foreign Language & Literature – General, Foreign Language Teacher Education, French, French Teacher Education, Humanities, Photography, Sociology, and Zoology.
Which career should I choose?
Which major will bring me closer to my dream career?
Which is the most realistic?
Please help!

This group is heavy on the animal sciences – narrow the choice to zoology and cover all of this one.
* Art Teacher Education, Arts – General,Commercial Photography, Commercial/Advertising Art, Design/Visual Communications, Digital art, Drawing, Fashion Design, Fashion Merchandising, Photography,
This group is simply “art” — a BA or BFA in studio art with a teacher certification program would do all of this one.
* Economics, European History,Foreign Language & Literature – General,Humanities, Sociology
This group is part of the general education core of any Bachelor’s degree program. Therefor either of the above bachelor’s will include this group as well.
* Foreign Language Teacher Education, French, French Teacher Education,
not a bad compliment to a K-12 art teacher certification if you want to be able to find a good job.
Here’s an idea:
Bachelor of Arts in Art with K-12 teacher certification, minor in French (with teacher certification there as a second area). Double major in Zoology or Animal Biology (a minor in the sciences sometimes takes as many hours as a major does) with secondary level teacher certification in “science” as well.
This would be about 6 years of undergraduate and would result in K-12 teacher certification in two areas (Art and French) and HS teacher certification in science. You would be an artist highly knowledgeable of science AND a scientist highly skilled in illustration able to work in French and English (diplomatic languages).
“study penguins in the Antarctic” is a master’s degree sort of thing. Follow this pair of bachelor’s degrees with a master’s in zoology (or related) and do your thesis on the antarctic penguins. And, if you’re honestly passionate about all of these areas – you might as well get a PhD and teach in college – this collection of skills should be very valuable to either an artist or a scientist. ☺
Most important – this set of interests will take time to develop. Don’t be in a hurry.
