I like subjects but its certain category's overall. I might like science but its all sciences not just one, if I want to learn math I might want to learn more than one kind of math. Is there overall degrees where you can learn multiple subcategory's parasitology/chemistry/biology/physics all in one major? or is this just impossible?
The best thing I did in my life was speaking to an career advisor.
The first time I used one was when I approached my senior years in high school as we tend to specialise towards a major in our final years in high school and again before entering university.
Go with the subject you find yourself most interested in and passionate about because you will always feel satisfaction in learning more about it, even if it doesn't bring you the most powerful or financially successful career in the end.
I don't know your specific situation, so I don't know how to really help you figure out what you want to do, but you may want to continue looking at science. For example, I am a neuroscience major and thus far for the field I've had to take two years of chemistry, a year of organic chemistry, a semester of biochem, a year and a half of biology (this includes cellular bio, molecular bio, and genetics), a year and a half of calculus, and a year of physics is highly recommended. This is before I started any sort of neuroscience related courses, this was to just set the playing field. While the field neuroscience is very specific, there is a lot you need to understand related to math, chemistry (chemistry is VERY important and necessary to understand biological pathways), physics, and biology before you even begin to talk about the brain.
So if you are interested in science, don't feel that if you majored in one particular area that you would only learn stuff in that field--a lot of scientific fields are interconnected. However, you should sort out if that is what you'd like to learn or not before you spend a ton of money on classes and devote the time to it.
Internships and general education are probably the way to go for now until you get a feel for what you want to do. See what is out there.
If anything it's not normal for an 18-20 year old to know for sure what they want to do with the next 40+ years of their lives.
Same. I tried to pick something that would combine all my favorites (science, art, math, psychology, language...) I ended up in computer science, which is actually pretty cool... I don't know about yours though... parasitology? I'm guessing you might like something in the Medical field? I don't know if physics would fit into that though... but those are all very interesting
