What college courses should you take?

My daughter will be a junior next fall and has no idea what she wants to do or be. I've offered all kinds of suggestions, but she is not interested in anything. She's an average student and has to work hard just to get an A or B. Her grades are mostly low B's to C's. If she gets into a college, what courses should she take if she has no idea what she wants to do?

What college courses should you take?
The first two years are mostly general education courses regardless of major. Tell her to take classes in things she is interested in to get a better idea of what the field has to offer. Many students enter college as undeclared majors.





In the meantime, it would be a good idea for her to get involved in extracurricular activities. Often, this is how students find out what they are interested in studying.


If she is musical, join the school choir or band.


If she likes writing, photography or design, she could join the yearbook staff or newspaper staff.


Other ideas: debate team, drama, dance team, student government, and other specific clubs.





Also, during the summertime, she could volunteer to do some community service: girls and boys club, animal shelter, local hospital, museums, etc. Or a summer job may give her some insight.





To top it off, extracurricular activities and community service will help her get into college.
