In just a few days i will be a senior in high school. so far I am undecided on a career path. i know i want to do something in the science field but i don't know what. i loved biology and some parts of chemistry. i didnt care for Earth science or physics to much. I am looking for a career that i can enjoy and make some decent money in. does anyone have any ideas. anything may help. thanks!

Well, the good news is you don't have to decide right away, because for a lot of science majors, the first year courses are very similar. So perhaps you should set your course for something that interests you (sounds like biology?), and take the courses required for that major. Chances are, in your first year or two of college, you'll stumble upon some field that really interests you.

I know students want to know what direction to go before they start college, but in fact, most people don't. In fact it's not uncommon to change majors more than once, in your early years.

Think of it as a time to explore your options!
