How do I know if a change-of-major is right for me?
I am a current computer science major finishing up my first year at school. While I haven't done the worst academically, I also haven't been the best. I don't get the best grades and have failed at least one class this year, but I still think I could graduate with this degree in four years very realistically. I think my degree and classes are very interesting and honestly not that hard, but I'm feeling demotivated because I feel like computer science is very lonely for me. I am a very social person, but my peers are not. I have no problem making new friends, but despite my best efforts, I cannot even get anyone in my major to study with me. Everyone has different personalities and I get that, but I honestly feel like I can't function if I'm not around a single other social person. I'm worried that this will be the same when I get into the workforce, and if I go into this field that I won't even be able to be friendly with my coworkers. Additionally, programming jobs seem to be trending more towards work-from-home, but I really do like in-person and I can't see myself being successful at working from home, at least at the start of my career. That was a lot, but I am a little lost and looking for advice. I was considering double majoring, which would also be doable in four years. But I'm wondering if I should drop it altogether? I'm also wondering what kinds of fields I could look at? I know that I do like doing science, but maybe something more hands on would fit (although I'm not interested in doing something like pure chemistry or pure biology). I know from experience that business doesn't suit me, and I don't see myself being successful in the humanities or liberal arts.

I graduated from my local community college with an Associate in Arts, and will be transferring to a 4-year university to get my Bachelor's Fall 2025. I'm a psychology major and recently found myself interested in minoring in international studies. What would a career as a forensic psychologist abroad be like? Is it possible?
I want to help people in underserved communities that lack access to mental health resources. I read a bit about the role of a psychologist for the ICC and found that interesting too. I know psychology is a very broad field and can lead to a multitude of careers, but I don't think I'm someone who would be content staying in one place for too long. I have always been interested in the intersection of law and psychology, which is why the goal is to become a forensic psychologist.

What career would suit me based on my interests?
Hello, I'm currently in my last year of hs and tbh very confused. I wanna do everything but nothing at the same time. I have physics, chemistry, maths, biology and 2 languages as my subjects. I have a strong dislike towards maths, it has traumatized me frankly speaking. Chemistry is alright as long as it's inorganic and physical chemistry but organic? Hell no. I don't mind physics but I know for a fact that I won't be able to study that for 4-6 years continuously. I like bio and I tolerate it the most so going for something in bio would be a smart choice imo. I thought bout creative careers too like arch, graphic designing etc cuz I'm good at art but I realised just by being good at art won't make me the best in this, I lack creativity of my own. I also dont wanna do anything in commerce related. So what should I do? What career would suit me?
