Yes, indeed. Yet, here in Portugal, when you finish your 9th year, you already have to pick 'a major'. My choice back then severly reduced my degree of opportunities to Law, Psychology, Journalism, History, Geography and Languages.

Bleh. It's hard to figure this out. In the end, I guess no one but me will have to step up and do a choice; but it's always nice to hear people's thoughts.

Oh, man. I guess that what bogs me down the most is the suck-up life I will have to endure; with little or no money, going through 4 years of college studying something I don't really care about, sacrificing the things I like to do... Ah.

Sometimes it'd be easier to make up my mind and decide 'Here, I'll be the best lawyer'; then, peace of mind, wich is something I lack with this doubt. But I see that as conformism and, hell, I don't want to look back and regret.
