Junior year, you'll start taking upper division classes which are better. Also, either major in business management or you'll end up in sales, a job in which you'll be exploiting people. Or change your major to something more math/science oriented. Having that on your resume shows employers you didn't just go to college to have fun and get a piece of paper saying you went.
You clearly know nothing about professional selling. Exploitation is the last thing good salesmen are interested in.
As for you TS, what do you want to do? What interests you? You're not going to have much luck if you try to make some objective choice about what you should study. If you just want to earn money as fast as possible try to become an electrician or millwright or some other skilled trade. And it better be something you like better than teaching history, since the relatively small obstacle of having to learn some French seems to have killed that goal. Anything you choose to do will require you to overcome more than l'apprentissage du fran
Have you looked into any of the clubs and groups on campus?
As far as school work goes, I recommend going into something more scientific if you are so inclined. It will open plenty of doors and you don't seem dead set on a specific thing, so its a worthwhile pursuit regardless of where you end up in life.
Yeah... I mean, I'm just trying to get some perspective on my life. If everybody came in here and told me I was a whiner, I'd be able to accept that and change my attitude.
It's not that I don't believe in hospitals or stuff like that, but I just wouldn't want to be a doctor because I feel like I would be miserable doing that just because that's how I would see my job. Plus, if I switch back to the college of arts and sciences, I have to take a foreign language class again and that class is actually what made me start questioning why I'm in college. Plus, science majors have a shit time of it in my opinion. I have to be enrolled in 15 hours because of my scholarship, and with a 1 hour lab that accompanies each class, I just couldn't do it. Then I have to make a 3.6 to get into medical school, which means I would have to bust my ass to get my GPA up from a 3.1... I just see a lot of problems with trying to do anything like that.
EDIT:
I like to think I was a positive person before going to college. I don't want to be cynical, but I feel like if I'm not cynical and always overanalyzing how something can go bad for me, I'm going to end up being used again.
lol wut?
I had some sympathy in your OP but your family is right, you ARE a whiner
No. I don't believe in delaying the inevitable.
This. And learn a skill that employers can use. Its simple.
I REALLY enjoyed myself in school. Went to a large state school and partied my ass off. Also worked hard too. I joined several groups However, it was just fun as hell.
You're doing something wrong.
All you have to do is not get kicked out of school and not get anyone pregnant... then pass. Its what you make it. Or maybe you should transfer to a school that doesn't suck and isnt boring. .
holy shit.. you sound whiny as fuck.. you aren't the first person to be undecided on their major.. but you better figure out what you want to do soon and figure out how to get there with or without a degree
at least you know aren't cut out to go into the medical field..
You don't believe in preventative healthcare? Exercise? That's like driving a car and not believing in oil changes and tire rotation.
Honestly the solution to your problem is to choose a major that does have a stable long term job market with strong demand for new grads.
Engineering and healthcare do fit those parameters.
Fair enough.... I'm whiny... do you have constructive advice as to figure out what I want to do?

Google "college majors with high job market demand for new grads" then pick one you're actually interested in.
Carpe diem son.
I know, right? Like it doesn't seem that much harder than Spanish until you're already in the thick of it, learning the imparfait and all that other pretentious bullsh*t. I swear to God that class has made me xenophobic towards French people, not to mention the professor was a complete and utter piece of pretentious shit.
As of right now, I have absolutely no idea what I want to do. I used to like wrestling and MMA, but that dream died when I couldn't get a ride to the gym. I like playing video games I guess? Dungeons and dragons? I don't really have very many worthwhile interests.
Ok... did that. Says Data Analysts are going to be in high demand. An Information Systems major sounds like a good bet based on that, right>
I manage a data science/analyst group, and I can safely say that they are in very high demand. But it's more about the right mindset than specific training. I can teach you to code, how databases work, etc. What I can't teach you is curiousity and a willingness to engage deeply with data, really figure out where it came from and what it means to the business.
But knowing some SQL will never be a bad thing. Even better if you also know a little python or java.

Economics. Information Systems teaches you about the devices that store the data, not how to analyze it.
