academia??

Ahhaha, youre fucked dude. I made my decision last minute too when it was my time. I made the wrong decision. Now living the neet life of a colledge dropout.

You don't have to go to university straight away. In fact students that go later in life after getting work experience are often top performers.

Anyways a lot of programs will start varying in their second year. If you didn't take them in high school, you'll be taking Chem, Physics, and or Calculus along with some gen eds regardless of what you choose.

There's no real shame in anything. You're 18. Don't be afraid to try things out.

thanks, this makes me feel a bit better. but i've already taken a year off because of indecisiveness (this current year) and i've taken every class (best math course, calculus, bio, physics, chem and programming) and i still don't know :(

i guess i just want to talk to people who already have experience in uni cause i have no friends or family that can help me to figure things out.

also what's gen eds?

the entire point of university is to obtain a degree that will let you get a better job than flipping burgers. go for the one you know will get you job, and that you are okay with. none of this "discovering what I like" bullshit.

>took a whole year off
>didn't research it
>didn't take a community college class to get a feel for what you want
>didn't meet with your high school counselor

did you even work or did you just sit on your ass all day?

Consider the actual jobs you'd most likely end up doing. All studying is more or less shit, it's boring and some of it is pointless, but you gotta do it anyway until it ends in a few years. Work, however, you'll do for the rest of your life. Figure out which field you'd find most tolerable to work in and go for that major. You can tweak you degree along the way to suit your interests better quite easily, getting in is just the first step.

i did research everything about all the programs i'm interested in, but i can't just research university experience and whether something is worth doing or not.

and i'm actually in another year of 'high school' right now to take more classes that my school didn't offer (programming) and classes i didn't have room for in grade 12 (chem), also taking the opportunity to upgrade while i'm here and try for entrance scholarships (currently have 100 in math). i'm not doing nothing, i just thought i'd have figured it out by now, but i'm still stuck.
