The Sharpest Tool...

Well, after about a week of searching, trial-and-error, and yahoo-answering, I finally figured out how to post something on this blog. Look out world!
I am having trouble deciding what direction I would like to take my education. I think the problem is that I really don't care enough about any of the available majors to make a lifelong commitment. After all, this will be on my resume for the rest of my life. Part of me wants to say "screw it!" and enroll at UCMT (Utah College of Massage Therapy), but then I realize how disgusting that would be. I know that I do not want to be like some of my co-workers at the bakery. Jason, Dave, Dane, Claire, Chelsea and more all decided college wasn't for them. They now work in a bakery. Jason and Dave are in their 40's or 50's- they aren't even in management. Tracy and Jesse didn't go to college, and now Jesse is just working random jobs doing whatever and Tracy was the manager at McDonald's. *(Anne, Tracy and Jesse are a married couple who both worked at Great Harvest but Jesse had to quit because it was hurting his back and then they moved to Beaver.) I look at those people and think Wow, I definitely have to get a degree, I don't care what.
So the way I see it I have two options: I can move to Hollywood in the hopes of becoming a famous movie star--I can have excessive amounts of money and not really do anything but everyone will think I'm great.
Or I can just knuckle down and decide what I want to major in; accepting, of course, that I will make a fraction of the salary that I would as a movie star and probably have to work 4 times as much.
So...pretty much what I'm trying to say is: What should I major in? I don't want to choose. Just tell me.
