I have no idea what I want to do with my life.

I'm a Senior in high school and I have a very good ACT score (31) and can go to pretty much any college in my state (KY) for free.

The problem is I don't know what I want to do, I'd love to be a detective yet I'm colorblind. I'm really interested in finance and the stocks, I loved history and wanted to be an Archeologist but not really anymore. Most Important of all I want to be happy and very wealthy.

>please guide me

Best way to narrow down choices is to talk to people in fields that youre interested in, take classes, volunteer, and get internships/part-time jobs. Its still possible that you wont like the job or field once you ACTUALLY start working but itll help for now. Plus, theres a very good chance ppl from your generation will go through a few career changes in their lifetime.

Usually, I advise people in situations like yours I to do community college for a year or two, while you figure things out, and then transfer the credits to a school where you then focus on your major. This is a very cost-effective path to a four-year degree, and it doesn't hurt you at all. People care that you have a degree, yes, but they're not generally interested in the minutiae of exactly how you got it.

What makes your case different is that you've got places offering you free rides already. Community college is cost-effective, yes, but even they can't beat free.

My advice to you is to try to at least narrow things down to a general field: "I want to work with computers" or "I want to work in physics" rather than "I want to be an information security specialist" or "I want to do theoretical astrophysics". If one of the schools offering you a free ride is really good in that field, take that school. If none are especially great in that field, or if you can't decide on a field at all, then you could go for the most broadly-good school (but bear in mind that there WILL be some time pressure), or fall back on the community-college option.
