Life at home is getting boring so I suppose I should go to college or something.  

The question is, what should I study?  I like everything and I'm good at everything. So what do you think the most profitable major will be in 5-10 years?  Should I go with some sort of engineering?  Biology?  Chemistry?  Art History?  Aeronautical basket weaving?  Whatever it is, I'll do it.  Probably.

Or maybe I shouldn't go to college at all.  It's probably a good idea to hold money instead of debt right now.  I don't have a job yet.

Suggestions?

I'm counting on society collapsing before I have to pay back my school loans

As such, I'm a music major hehe.

Agri-business and marketing (depending where you are) are becoming really popular and profitable. *shrug* Just go for what you like best.

Precisely.  Maybe electrical engineering would be good for me.

I would say anything medical related...or a science field that can get you into something medical (Biology, Chemistry, etc)

Business is good...but I mean, EVERYBODY is going to school for business just about. Not something I'd wanna do...there's enough business majors already (no offense)

if you are thinking about getting a degree just because it pays alot thats a mistake.

soo if you goto community college and get loans for that and then get a good paying job then they loans should pay off in a few years depending on how much you pay a month. you are actually loosing money by not getting a high education......

really? Engineers may have a good starting income, they their income don't rise much.

Engineers probably won't have a shot at upper class without being in a start-up or starting their own company.

With the workload that most engineers have, I'd say engineering would actually be a poor life decision.

I'd suggest going into the Medical field. Taking a loan out for Med. school is well worth it:)

A maths degree is supposed to increase earnings over a lifetime by quite a bit.
