Hello. I am a second year college student. I go to a community college and I want to transfer out of here to go to another school.
The difficulty is not knowing my major and also not knowing where I want to go.
I just don't have an opinion on where I want to go, I am not sure what is good for me but also this depends on my major because I need to go to a school that has my major.

I don't know what I want to do as a career. I've thought about this for so long. I have been asked countless times what my passion is/what I like doing and I've tried to figure out my true passion but I don't think it is my true passion.
I tried watching videos and answering questions like "What is something I would do even if I wasn't paid for it" or "What is something I must do if I knew I would die in a month".
These questions didn't really help me realistically narrow things down.

I like singing and acting. I don't think I am necessarily amazing at it and plus, it's a really hard industry to have as a career. I don't know if I truly love it. I don't know if I SHOULD go after it.
I think that I should do something that's more reasonable.
I think Hmm I should be a pre school teacher but then I think I don't have a real passion for teaching at the moment. Or I think I should work with animals but my mom wouldn't let and I don't want to either.
I am very conflicted.
I HONESTLY don't know what I want to do.
I've asked my friends and people who are close to me because they know me well but it didn't really help. I've also taken career tests and it didn't really help me either.
I've thought about so many different careers but none really POPPED out at me and made me want to CHOOSE that.

I also thought about if I were about ton die, would I be proud in the future of my life and my career. I think I would be proud of myself and my legacy if I did something that helped everyone and I lived a very self less life.
But is this realistic? Should I live my life upon this thought? What can I do that would allow me to help people while making money but not being a selfish rich person. Maybe a business owner? I don't know where to start. I don't know if I have what it takes because I am sensitive.

Plus, singing and acting isn't the kind of help I want to bring to the world.

Please help.
