#Person1#: Mom, I'm a little worried about college. I just don't know what to study. I don't know what my major should be.
#Person2#: That can be a difficult decision, John.
#Person1#: How can I decide?
#Person2#: Well, I'd start with your interests. It will help you if you study something that you are interested in. What do you like to read and learn about or do?
#Person1#: I guess I like dancing and helping people. Those are my interest I guess.
#Person2#: What do you mean by helping people?
#Person1#: If people have problems, I like to help solve them. Or if people are hurt, I like to try to do things that make them feel better.
#Person2#: It sounds like you might be interested in medicine then.
#Person1#: Uh... I don't know.
#Person2#: Another thing I think you should consider is the possible jobs you might get and how much money you want to make.
#Person1#: How do I figure that?
#Person2#: You can research different jobs at the library and there are reports and data on how well different jobs pay.
#Person1#: I want to have a well paid job so that I can have money to travel.
#Person2#: Well, there you go. Income is going to influence you most in your choice of nature. There is one other thing you should consider, too.
#Person1#: What's that?
#Person2#: You know, scholarships, then money given to you for college. You might want to pick a major that will allow you to get a special scholarship. I know you'll make the right decision.
#Person1#: Thanks, mom.
