What should I do in college?

Asked by blueberry_kid (5957points) February 7th, 2014

Before any of you come at my throat, yes I’ve talked to my parents, yes I have a guidance counselor and no they were of no guidance for my future. My main issue is realizing the “title” of the career that it is that I want to do, and then finding out what type of major it is in college that I need to study.

I really enjoy Chemistry class, and I really enjoy art. I think I’a pretty good artist, and Engineering is very interesting to me. I love watching the show Myth Busters whenever it comes on, but only stay tuned in to watch it if it has something to do with them crashing into things. I’ve always wanted to build my own car, and so I came to the conclusion of a car designer. That’s not really a job for a car company, per-say, but it’s sort of the idea that brought me here. I’m a little lost as to what that actual title would be, because I know that there aren’t just people sitting in an office of a car company just drawing pictures of cars all day, they have actual knowledge of how to make a car and they know how a car works, and they have the knowledge of what would cope together in order for a car to run efficiently and look good.

I don’t know if anyone has seen the car commercial for Audi or Cadillac I think (i’ll try to find a link) but it played during the Super Bowl, and at the beginning, it said “When an artist and an engineer come together to build a car…” and the commercial goes on, that’s they type of job that I want and I’m not sure what the title is, nor do I really know the steps to get there.

I guess my whole point is, I have slight knowledge of what I want to do with my future, but I don’t know the steps I need to take, nor do know what my final goal after college is.

Can you help me decide my future? I understand if some of this might not have been clear, but I’m just really stressed out with college at the moment.
