I need a little advice!
Hi everyone,
I will be entering college next year and I’m going in undecided as a major, enrolled in the college of arts and sciences. I’m socially smart, creative, collaborative, and I like to take initiative. I value fairness and I’m a good problem solver. I’m also very articulate which makes me a good reader and writer and I'm also pretty detail oriented.
What type of position or job do you think I would do well in? Any advice will be helpful:)
I think you should follow your heart
The best advice I can give you is follow your heart. What sparks passion in your day to day life. In order to have a successful career you e got to love what you do. If you live your job you will shine and move up and to the top.
Hi Emma, first gotta say- looking cute in that pic.. Nice!
About what job you'd be interested in, ahmm.. maybe QC. Quality control-; You'll be good fit for anything I bet.
I can’t believe how many people on here are saying to avoid college, I definitely think college is essential and not a waste of time. I think maybe to start off with try to find some thing in customer service or possibly retail. You will meet with an advisor in college, in order to see what you were most likely interested in.

I would avoid college, unless you are going to become a doctor or lawyer. Those professions would pay you a salary that would make college worth it, but as tuition rates rise even that is becoming less true.
Go to a good two year school and get a degree/certificate. Then you can get your foot in the door at a company.
Also, I would avoid going into Information Technology, as that field is a complete joke. Employers have zero respect for employees that work in IT.
These same employers are bitching and complaining about the fact that they can't find people to fill IT jobs. I can't imagine why more people don't pursue IT degrees, when all such degrees buy you is an uncertain future in employment and living in a constant state of your specialization being phased out.
Go figure.
I would refrain from going to college unless it is a 2 year business degree. It may be better to get some basic qualifications and then get out into the work place and find what you are interested in. At that point additional education would be focused to a very specific end and you will excel because you will understand how what you are learning correlates to the skills you need. I did something similar but over a period of years.

Hello Emma.
I will start by saying this. If you go into college undecided on a major, that is not a problem at all. A lot of people do, or realize later on that their major is not as interesting as it first sounded. Or,, possibly, that they felt that they could not do it. I actually fit into that second category. I earned a B.S. of Criminology and Criminal Justice nearly 10 years ago. I thought that was what I wanted as a career. I realized that, during college when I pulled a second job working security (personal security, event security, location security and escort services being the things I did), that it really was not to my liking. Granted I did not go into policing, but I interacted with law enforcement and dealt with quite a few issues you would be surprised at. Long story short, I now work as a driller. Quite a divergence from my degree. But I love my job.
Now. With your qualities you described, there are oppirtunities in many fields. It is best to pay attention to your personal hobbies and interests when considering a career. Working in a job field you love will be more rewarding, get you to push yourself through the day and feel like you have accomplished something at the end of it. Make the best use of your talents and make them work for you. Trust me, I have seen and heard of so many people describing themselves as you have above and not known where they should go. They work jobs they are miserable at and it shows.
My advice is go to college and get your general credits out of the way if you cannot decide immediately. Those credits can transfer to many schools out there especially if you study well and make good grades. People can tell you 'go do this', but it may not hold appeal for you in the end. That outcome would be detrimental to your happiness, and therefore ambition to succeed. My experience is, having a degree of any sort will at least open a door. What you do with that open door is up to you.
I wish you the best of luck and success.
