What major and/or career would be good for me?

Question by : What major and/or career would be good for me?
I love working with other people, especially youth (3ish to teen). I have much interest and love volunteering and working with disabled youth. Also I have taken interest how judgement is portrayed in the world and how hard it effects teens. Such as self-hurt(cutting), depression, drug abuse, and teen suicide. I was wondering if people knew of any ideas of careers and majors for this type of work?

Best answer:

Answer by Shasta
As far as a major go, I would DEFINETELY recommend Social Work to be your major. ITS PERFECT FOR YOU. Look it up to find more info on it. Second I would say you could be an education major, its teaching.
