What could you do with an Art History degree, anyway? Museum curator? Art History teacher?

EDIT: On a more serious note, if there's a particular career that interests you, look up what sort of education is required for it. Then go from there.

Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

The thing is the only career that interests me is art, and I suck at art anyway. Besides, we all know that art majors live brief, malnourished lives.

I mean, I guess other things interest me but I don't really know if I'd want to make a career out of them.

Fuck growing up!

Something that has the word 'Engineering' in it.
Grammar is your enemy! - While being able to understand someone's sentences might seem like a good idea for a proper essay, complaining on a forum scarcely leaves time for such trivialities. Write fast! You're angry, grrr! Make that show, and forget about things like capital letters, punctuation, and verbs.

You are such a great photographer, you could do well in that field.

Plus, it's art that makes the phat cash and high adventure.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

Gynocology always seems good at first, until then you realise you're going to be dealing with the nastiest kinds of infections, warts, rashes, and other such afflictions, on a daily basis.

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

You won't really be able to tell until you get to school and see what the departments and professors and classes are like. I was all set to be a physics major, but I hated the department policies and the professors, so I picked English, instead.

You never know until you get there.

I'd also recommend buying a Meyers-Briggs book and having the test professionally administered and scored. Intimate self-knowledge will help you choose a path that makes you happy. Although one can do quite well working outside one's comfort zone, it'll add stress and you have to be ready for that.
