I honestly have no idea what I want to do nor do I have a desire or interest for any of the degrees out there. I do not care about business, psychology, medical, criminal justice or any of the other usual majors. The only thing that really interest's me is music and theater but let's be honest that's probably about as useful as a degree in philosophy.... I don't know what I want to do or where I'm going in life. Everyone tell's me you have to have a degree if you want to get out of the working class or a dead end job. I'm also not the best student mostly because I don't have the desire or interest. /:
Looks like you've gotten most of your general coursework out of the way. I'd say the thing to do now is narrow it down by deciding on arts or sciences. Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science. With a BA in English, or communication, art, photography, film, psychology, or whatever, the door will be open to a career in the arts. The specific department won't really matter. Sciences are more specific. Chemistry, biology, metallurgy, engineering, etc. Those are areas where generally the degree really needs to match the career. I'm guessing the arts would be the better bet for you. You may be surprised to find that one class changes your life by really grabbing your interest. I hope so.

I know it's part of the norms in our society to constantly aim for the higher ladder, but many people seem to forget in the process that we also need a working class. Because if no one's there to handle the plumbing, take out the trash and whatnot, even the wisest of professors and the smartest of leaders would drown in s*it.
Judging by how Nurhachi presented the dilemma (having no interest in anything whatsoever), I'm guessing he wouldn't like being working class. After all, that's real work. Seems like he's looking for a desk job where he doesn't have to do anything but surf the net all day, post in The Raven, and collect a pay check for writing a few emails.
Well, I have to get back to writing a few emails (but I really do work for my paycheck).
