Well, I am not entirely sure how things work in Italy. So, let me ask a few follow up questions. In Italy are there a lot of classes you would be required to take besides your major classes like in the United States. Here we have general education courses, and they fill up quite a bit time for incoming students. It's a good opportunity for them to test the waters sometimes. I hear in England they pretty much go straight into the major program, and they don't mess with extra classes in order "too learn about the world" or what have you. What is the case in Italy? Furthermore, if there are not community colleges, does the uni offer associates degrees? Two, I would definitely not trust a high school given career assessment, even if it was a good one. I took one. It was actually from a good company. It said I should be a lobbyist. It also said I should stay from math. Picking a major is about 3 things: values, interests, and skills. What type of setting do want to work in, for example? If you want low stress. Do not become a nurse, do not go to law school etc. Interests: This is what will keep you going throughout your college and work career. You may have to do some digging. An assessment may help here. For example, do you enjoy figuring people out or do like fixing things? Skills: Let's not underestimate or overestimate ourselves. Engineering and pre-med are sexy majors, but most end up changing. Why? A lot of people aren't skilled enough at the math sci requirements. (That was a random example. I'm not intending to throw you in or out of that group, by the way.)
