Help me decide on a major

[CapnAwesome]

It's actually clear as a bell, but you're a young'un still. You can curse me in twenty years when upon reflection it suddenly makes sense.

My heart says "well it would be cool to be a psychologist, to sit in your office and discuss people's problems, help them cope with life, find happiness... it would also be cool to earn $100,000 working at a financial establishment in charge of their records... or business management and start my own business or assist in someone elses... oooh but I love science, what if I could be a cosmologist and learn about the origins of the Universe and assist in the research that makes breakthrough discoveries, but how much is that going to pay.... maybe a college professor but that is long term requires PhD etc... argh how about a computer science degree? That does sound like something I enjoy, I type very fast but I'm not sure ... maybe biology? working in a lab, a science degree... decent salary... but would I be exposed to a deadly virus and the government assassinates me to keep it under cover?"

Then my heart takes a breath and begins some more...

Don't forget that not everything in life is about how much money you make. Nor does the endless pursuit of money or a 'good job' lead to happiness. As cliche as it is to say that nobody seems to actually realize that it's true. What do you want out of life? What do you enjoy doing? Those are more important questions than picking a major.
