The trick to life is to find something you enjoy doing-- and then find someone who is willing to pay you for doing it.
The IT field is overloaded with recent college grads. its making salarys go down, and lots of people can't even score a job. Fact is, college doesn't teach you shit about things that are used. running this website has done more for my professional career than college did. you get a basic over view about everything in college, but rarely do you get into it deep enough to matter. I did 3 years of college and a 9 month tech school program, and not one thing i do at my job, i learned in school.
i learned php on my own, and started this web site.
i learned mysql on my own, and used it on this website.
php lead me into asp, and ms sql... and thats what i do for a living now... none of which i ever even knew about in school.
They teach you C++, BNC lans, visual basic-- but mostly jsut the click-and-drop forms- not the language behind it.
C++ is great- if you want to make dos programs. but who the fuck uses dos?
BNC conenction lans are from the 80's. sure, you'll touch on tcp/ip, but there's SO much more to it than what you'll learn at school.
visual basic... no one uses that shit. its all .net now
sql? no... they'll teach you access instead. what a useless fucking program IMO.
I was in the same boat you are in... i had no clue. hell, i didn't even own a computer my senior year. well, i did... but it was a 386 with win 3.1 on it... (damn, i'm dating myself here.. lol)
i went in undecalred, and it was the worst thing i ever did.
IMO, if you aren't sure- don't even go.
Soph year, i changed to history.
junior year, i changed to comp sci.
so here i am, a junior, with 3 credits into my major, and a ton of core classes under my belt that i didin't need. Basically, if i would have stayed, i would have been on the 7 yr plan for a freakin bacholors, all because i didn't know what i wanted to do.
$60k later, i said fuck this, i'm out...
if you don't want to go all the way to the phd, going in the medical field is worthless IMO. shitty hours, weekends, holidays, and not the best pay until your at least an RN.
and then there's all the malpractice insurance and shit you ahve to pay for.
frankly, if you wanted to be a doctor, you would have known this a long time ago... i don't think its really want you want.
paralegal-- your basically a secretary who knows the slang/abbr. for legal terms. thats about it.
Whether it be IT, or any other field you think you might like, i highly suggest KNOWING 100% that that's what you want to do with your life.
you have 8 months or so before you need to decide for sure. start cracking.
