I'm really at the crossroads here guys and I don't know what to do, fuck /adv/ because those guys are faggots
I was looking to major in history, but become a cop. I need a degree but in nothing specific and criminal justice, political science, all those typical cop degrees are uninteresting to the people hiring, experience comes with the job not a classroom. So I'd major in history because I just enjoy history.
Right now though I'm considering accounting because accountants make too much money to pass up and it seems to be the next biggest thing, but for all I know it's a bet I could lose big time. That and I'm bad at math, but if I have to I can study it.
Police is surpringly a safe job where I am, and pays over $100,000 a year, but accounting I could be making so much more. I honestly don't know, the biggest issue is what I really want. What I want is to bum around the entire world for a few years and die before 27 but that's just not realistic. I can't do what I want, no one can despite what my boomer parents tell me.
Any advice would be nice, or ignore what I said and talk about your situations, either one I'd like to hear

You're choosing a job that you're going to do for a long time. Is it really worth a bit of extra money to go into a job that you'll probably hate?

That's the other thing I have to consider. What my dad suggested was become an auditor and just audit the books for some big bank. These people make a lot of money but whether or not I'll be happy I don't know. I also have to consider the chance of it failing, and that goes for both jobs. I'll do what I have to for either job but I'm caught between what I want and what's best to do

Well just having a degree helps. You could probably go for accounting in school and then still become a cop if you don't want to do that as a career.
History isn't worth going to school for. You can easily learn about it on your own time, and you'll find it much more enjoyable than being forced to memorize as much information as possible.

I suggest these two books. There are 11 volumes total I think, and it's a good overview of western history as a whole. It's a bit dated since it was started in the 1930s however. One example of this is that they didn't realize early pre-Hellenistic Crete was wiped out from a volcanic eruption. Back then they thought the eruption wasn't large enough, but now we know otherwise.
