You have plenty of time to decide on a career. While you’re figuring that out over the next 4–6 years or so, keep in mind that if you choose something you don’t actually enjoy, your adult life will be miserable until you change careers. Also, people graduate from college and realize that their major is not something they want to pursue in the form of a career.
