Hi Avi,

I remember how hard it was to pick a major! I knew that my chosen field, writing fiction, would require a good grounding. I wanted a film school, and chose NYU (it was closer –1 hour by air! — to my Toronto home than either of the California schools, USC and UCLA.) I wanted to study something that wouldn’t interfere with the writing I was already making a career of, so I chose screenwriting. As it happened, I was pretty meh at it. But I did stick with college, so I have a BFA from NYU.

All of which doesn’t help you. I have no idea what your interests are, or even how far away you are from having to make your college choices. You seem to be taking the kind of courses that will allow you to make a wide choice, but what that choice might be is going to be entirely up to you.

Advice? Picture yourself doing something. Then picture yourself doing that something forever. Sorry — that’s the best I can come up with. Good luck, Avi!
