| How did I pick? I had it down to music or mechanical engineering. I loved playing my trumpet, but I also enjoyed the stars, and had wanted to work at NASA since I was like, 10. Luckily, I had some good friends who pointed me in the direction of mechanical engineering. Was it the right call? Compared to music, yes. Will I become a ME (an abbreviation)? Who knows? The one thing you're gonna learn when you go to college, regardless of where, is that you'll learn of degrees that you never even knew existed, and just sound like a blast. For instance, my brother was thinking of becoming a computer science major (for those of you who don't know, the program for that down here is SUICIDALLY hard). Since I've come here, and he's researched it, he's now considering heavily becoming a naval archaeologist (you should see the kid talk about old warships). Shoot, I'm starting to kick around becoming a college math professor. You just never really know what path life's gonna show you.
As far as the careers that you mentioned above, I think I can safely say that biology offers the most out of them. You can do anything from being a biology teacher, to being a forensics expert (and then you can pay for about a dozen or so Monettes). Whatever you do, don't let someone else pressure you into something you don't want to do, and keep an open mind.
