I have a list & I can't pick... So I thought talking to some people could help me figure out everything correctly. So here's a list :

Majors :
1 - Business : When I was younger I got called for how I could make things interesting for people. once my friend said that she never thought of watching that movie but I had a talent for making it so interesting that she actually bought the movie. I even recently got recommended to make a YouTube channel since I have way with words around people to make them interested in anything. I do like business as a job, I love talking and connections I can make but I thought it's kinda risky with making money? I also wanted to pick this because I wanted to make a coffee shop and video game so i wanted to know business myself.
2 - English Lit : I know people say this is such a bad job because I can only be a teacher at the end but... Since I want to get a scholarship I think this is the only pressure I can handle because I enjoy reading & writing. I write poems all the time, I love to know about poetry & thought having this degree would give me a backup plan if I ended up jobless. Personally I don't enjoy being a teacher but I love the holidays so I can take it. I also like to be a writer so I thought why not write my book as a project for Masters.
3 - Journalism : I thought if not English Lit this was a better option. I've heard that this degree is more useful than English Lit. You get to read, write, edit, do research there's some gossiping. That seems like a fun job to me I just hope I don't get sued because I love to gossip so much. For a while I made PowerPoints for my friends researching on things & since I could be funny I would get famous between everyone pretty fast.

Rest in comments no space here.

4 - Psychology : I always enjoyed working on people and finding why they thought like this and that so for a while I studied psychology myself but I love it as major & not as much of a job. I don't like to sit & listen to people (no offense I just don't like it as a job)
5 - Criminology : Might be hard to get into. I like the job and the major.. very interesting but I'm terrified of having the job just because I won't feel safe.

My goal for a job is good money. I will work hard myself but I'm just saying that I like a job that is a money maker (not rich) & I want it to not be hard to get a job.

mainstream can write bilions of poems, same with Yt channels about it, same with academia

#

its an insane competition where only the pareto distribution can sustain itself and the rest cant even affort food

#

journalism is better then En Lit but you should look more extensively into how AI is influencing the field, more so automatization of copy writing

#

if you dont like psychology as a job then ur just gonna hurt patients - same with as above, if you want to go into academia and research it would be an insane competition

#

criminology and business are exteremly open fields, u should look into specializations

I'm currently studying English Translation. If I apply for Masters it has to be English related but if I start with Bachelor's again my options are open. So I'm trying to have a plan for both of them, with Journalism at risk I'm not sure what to study if I have to go for Masters
