What should I major in, /adv?
Math has never been for me, when I try to explain why, people have speculated I have math dyslexia
Never been much of an artist
I'm told I'm a decent writer, but the idea of manufacturing essays more than a couple of pages gives me sadbrains
I enjoy travel and talking to new and different people
Not an outdoorsy type, but that's to be expected. We're on 4chan, after all.
History is p cool. It's all garbage after the industrial revolution ended, though. Ancient battles and strategy was where it's at
Science is interesting, but something like biology is just too darn complicated. Space is kickin' rad though
I guess this turned into an effort post, sorry everyone. Let's discuss

If you don't know what you want to major in, don't go. You'll just end up wasting your money again. And definitely don't ask us for advice about what you should study, having someone else make major decision for you is the easiest way to be miserable
Study Hunan resource management or General management. It's a simple career for simple people

Do you want to be in debt forever to get another shitty job? I'd recommend you learn a skilled trade instead, you can make good money from the beginning

Professor writing here.
Don't go back to college until/unless your basic attitude and motivation changes, because you'll just repeat the past.
The first half of your story is not uncommon - lots of people float through high school and drift into college just to discover they're not really motivated or ready for it. Some take a few years off and change enough that they're more ready to try again. And they generally do very well.
But you don't sound like that, and I fear you'll just repeat history. There is no value judgment in what I am about to write: College is not for everyone.
You might be happier, more fulfilled and more successful taking a different route. The world will always need plumbers, carpenters, auto mechanics, postmen, barbers, truck drivers, hospital porters, security men, etc., etc. - all honorable and well-paying professions.
Please understand - I am not saying you're not good enough for college. I'm saying it might not be right for you.
