...semester. Help!? So, I'm a sophomore in college, and need to declare my major this semester. I have been thinking about a major for a long time, and have narrowed it down to 4 very serious major/career paths. But the problem is, there are 4 majors, and none of them are very similar. (However, I am almost for sure going to double minor, or double major.)

I've been thinking of:
Communications (Electronic Media & Broadcasting, PR, or General)
Music (Education, Composition & Theory, or Industry)
Psychology (just a BA...I know I'd need a master's for most jobs)
Interior Design or later, Architecture

Lately I've also considered:
Poli Sci
Criminal Justice
Business

I'm not entirely sure what I want to do...
Music is my passion and I want it in my life somehow. (I have been involved in the music department at college since day 1...basically, they can't keep me out whether I major in it or not :P) It's a personal goal of mine to get a music degree at some point. I just don't know that I want to try to make it my career. I am also DJ'ing at the college radio station. I have work experience in retail sales (and it's something I like fairly well). I've had strong interests in interior designing, architecture/old buildings, history and the psychology/sociology of past societies, psychology in general, travel, and mystery/detective type things. I want to have a strong/powerful profession (I like leadership), and make a decent amount of money (but that's not first priority to me). I also really like solving problems that have concrete results (for instance, I'm not very science- or math-oriented, but I get satisfaction from figuring out a complex problem in those areas, i.e., figuring out loan costs).

I've considered:
music industry (recording, production, pr, a&r, etc..).
film industry (production, possibly acting, set design, historical researcher, location manager, etc..).
interior designer
architect (residential or landscape)
school counselor
marriage & family therapist
lawyer/paralegal
forensic psychologist/something of that sort.

Does anyone with knowledge in these fields have advice for me?
