advice

For much of my life I have been fairly focused when it comes to my career. Choices have always seemed straight forward.

Now I finally understand how people feel when they "don't know what to do with their lives."

I'm trying to pick a major for my degree - or maybe a double minor. I have three areas in mind, but there's only room for two.

I think it would be best if you just told me what to do. So, why don't I give you a little more information and then you can make an informed decision:

I am trying to choose between Sociology, Linguistics, and Asian studies. I want to move to Japan, but what if I pay for all this formal study in that area and then decide I don't like it and want to come home?

Linguistics is the most fun, but it feels indulgent of me to get a degree in something just because it's fun. Will I be useful to society? Can I use linguistics to fight poverty and injustice?

Sociology seems the most practical. It's very interesting, but not exactly fun. It's also the most difficult. Could I find a job in Japan?

So, to sum up, I want a degree that will be useful in Japan as well as once I get home to Canada, will help me to save the world, be fun and fulfilling and not too difficult. Please direct me to my perfect career.
