What should I major in /adv/? 20/M, finished HS a while ago but never worked or went to college. Parents are pressuring me to go now, but I have no idea what I want to do.
Interests are limited to anime and vidya. Don't care about money as long as I have a pla e to sleep. Would like a job where you don't have to work 5 days a week, maybe something with long shifts but 2-3 times a week only.
Suggestions? Currently thinking of doing software development as I'm not entirely opposed to coding, but dunno if I'm cut out for it.

try it and then figure it out by yourself. nobody's gonna tell you what suits you better.so, basically stop being lazy and start trying new things until you're happy with something

Well I've tried programming before, not as job, just as a hobby. It was ok.
B-bump?

Anyone who tells you to just "try something"
Has either never been to school in the past 10 years
- Never tried changing majors.
Once you are in a school they don't really want you moving around.
I tried going from CS to Business in the first week of classes and was told I had to re apply for the following semester. Luckily I buckled the fuck down, and my ad visor got in my classes so I only lost a semester of time. But I know people who fucked around and couldn't transfer because the GPA was to low.
What is most important is what faculty you want to end up in.
Most courses are fairly general for the first year - 2 years so if you want to switch your major halfway providing you stay in the same faculty you should be good.
Jumping faculties is a pain..
Start talking to people, anon. Ask if you can shadow some folks.
>hey, I want to go to college
>not sure what I want to aim for
>may I ask you some questions? Maybe shadow you at work for a day or so?
1. What do you love about your job?
2. What do you struggle with at your job?
3. What led you to your job?
Then let the conversation go from there.
I started off in college declaring a degree in Interior Design--to avoid getting stuck with advisory holds every term. Took an extra year as I transferred colleges and programs to finish with architecture. Didn't like it. Got an MA in literature. Now I teach English and Literature at university as I work on my PhD.
You'll find that people have loads of different paths. It's kind of exciting to be honest.

Oh you may also find you're more interested in a trade. What about plumber, electrician, etc? Friend has a BS in construction/design and works now as a Master plumber and remodeller.
