Well, here are my top choices.
English
Psychology
Anthropology
Art History.
I'll be going to a public institution (even though U of Puget Sound was my first choice and my scholarship didn't cover living expenses :/ so, I didn't have enough $$$)
The careers I most want to pursue are as follows:
Professor (English, psychology, anthropology, or art history)
Museum curator (history or art)
Research Anthropologist (sociology focus)
Research Psychologist (cognitive)
Or, I'd also like to be a free lance writer, photographer, and artist, but I need a degree for none of those.
Based on today's employment model, which do you think would be the wisest for me to pursue?
I know all of the fields that I'm looking into are highly competitive, but which would offer the least competition and be most rewarding?
Thanks

Forget professor. It is extremely competitive, even moreso in arts than sciences. Remember that for curator you need a master's. Competitive. Anything with research is extremely competitive as well. None of these are suitable for someone without a lot of drive and tolerance/love of competition.
So find what you love, and do freelance work on the side while you are a student if you hope for it to turn into more, because it takes time.
