How can I best decide what to major in?
I attend an Early College HS on NCCU's campus (J.D. Clement) and I have to decide a major when I'm a junior. Thankfully, I'll be saving a lot of money for college, since I'll graduate high school with an diploma and Associate's Degree (and my college classes are free). I've been looking into Central's programs and concentrations, mainly Theatre, performance concentration, and Music, Vocal performance Concentration. I honestly want to double major in Music and Theatre, and minor in English. But I'm scared that they will both end up being 'useless degrees' I'm also considering double majoring in Theatre and English (writing concentration), and minoring in Music instead, which I suppose would be more practical, but I'm still not sure about that either. PS: Thank you to everyone that answered my previous question. You have no idea how much better I feel! Hopefully this doesn't feel like I didn't listen to your advice!

How to decide between a major in film or finance?
I'm torn because my film teacher said that you don't need a degree to work in film, but isn't that the same with accounting? My true career goal is to become a film director, but I can't practice anything without equipment -equipment is expensive and from what I know accounting pays pretty well if you know what you're doing. I'm interested in both, but don't know what I should major in - and what I should minor in.

What should I choose as a minor?
Grade: 10 I am hoping to take as many majors as I can with as much time as I have in my (future) schedule, and fill the rest of my time with as many minors as possible. I am passionate about government, and will most likely major in that. However, I may also consider medical school, as I am a little bit passionate in that, So if I did decide to want to major in PolSci, but wanted to minor in something(s) related to medicine and health sciences, what would be best?

Should I major in film and minor in accounting? Or should I just minor in film and major in accounting? I'm even thinking about doing double major.
I'm a rising senior, so I still have time to pick between this. My passion is for film, but I'm also interested in finance/accounting. I plan on going to GSU - which I heard has a pretty good film program.

What should I major in? I am stuck between three options.
Summary: I like quantum mechanics and how it relates to chemistry and of course, physics, but pure math also captivates me. I’m having trouble deciding between three majors. The majors are math, physics, and chemistry. For some background, I am a rising freshman in high school. I have experience with all three subject areas. I’ve been interested in chemistry since third grade. I started memorizing the order of the elements and eventually finished. I tore through books and bored my family. I am currently self-studying physical chemistry, and I’m really enjoying. I’m currently focusing on quantum chemistry. It was the branch of chemistry that really stuck out to me. Other areas aren’t as interesting to me. I’m also currently self-studying higher level math just so I can understand physical chemistry better. Now, for physics, I’m really only interested in quantum mechanics, acoustics, low and ultra-low temperature, and maybe the chemical part. Classical mechanics doesn’t really interest me. I’ve attended a physics camp and toured the labs. I fell in love with the low temperature lab. I will come back to the camp as a mentor in future. In fifth grade, I loved particle accelerators. We had an independent project, and that’s what I made my video on. Now for math, I love math. It’s my favorite subject. As previously mentioned, I’m thoroughly enjoying self-studying math. I enjoying teaching others what I learn as well. I want to learn all of the math in world. I get visibly excited when a math topic I like is discussed. Pure math interests me the most. I’m not opposed to double majoring or having minors. I’m planning on going to grad school. For careers, I’d like to become a researcher or work in academia, but I really can’t decide what field. Is there a major that combines the three fields?
