I need advice on choosing something...

Now, I bet when you walked into this thread, you thought I would be asking for something trivial, like which video game or movie to buy. However, I am not! Instead, I need your help choosing a path in life because I honestly don't know what to do.

I'm a senior in high school and I'm going to choose a major soon (although I realize that I can change it). Now, I'm choosing between English, Poli. Sci., or Biology. Now, if I went the Bio route, I'd try to become a doctor, which is something I've always wanted to do. I want t work in a hospital and be constantly busy with helping patients.

If I went the English or Poli. Sci. route, I'd try to become a lawyer, but if I didn't become one, then I wouldn't mind because English and Poli. Sci. create a great foundation for a lot of jobs. Now, I enjoy English and literature more than math/science and am naturally good at it (prolly because I enjoy it), but the outcome of the Bio path is more appealing to me.

Also, I want to do ROTC (I'm a big military buff)in college, whcih means I'd prolly go into the Army. That shouldn't be a problem if I go to Bio route since I'd go to med-school under Military charge and they'd take care of me. But if I went the English route, then I'd try to focus more on Intelligence or maybe even Special Forces, and try to become a Ranger or Green Beret (eventually).

I don't know what to do. My heart is in two places with this one, so I can't exactly follow it.

Have you considered a double major? That's what I did. You'll be very busy, but you'll be able to do everything and have more options available to you.

If you decide to go the lawyer route, just remember that lawyers have to abandon all sense of moral responsibility and what may seem like common sense in favor of strict legal technicalities. This is hard to do.

Hmmm...Biology is Ludicrously Hard. English sounds interesting, You'll hear a lot of Conflicting Political Views (Get Ready To Debate) from your Professors if you go into Political Science.

With your career goals, your social life is on borrowed time as it is. >.>

Do whatever makes you happy. Like someone else said, biology is ridiculously hard, but if you can do it, do it. Were I in your shoes I would have gone with English and Political Science since I'm good at the former and interested in the latter.
