A little general advice from one of the lawyers here on the board. No reason to decide what to major in or what you want to do with the rest of your life the day you get to college. Keeping your options open is a very good thing and failing to know what you want to do on day one doesnt put you in the professional student category.

however, in my general experience, the harder you work at it, the better your grades will be, which should give you the most options as you move down the road.

People tend to do the best in areas that they are most interested in. Granted, it is unlikely that your academic institution will offer courses in either Rams strategy, How to understand the salary cap or The Philosophy of the Warnerites vs. the Bulgerites, but depending on whether you are interested in politics, sciences, history etc, I am sure that they will offer something you find intriguing.

Try to meet as many upperclassmen as you can as soon as possible and get their advice on the different professors and courses. I am sure the admissions office can give you chat room info and possibly even an advisor before you get to school. Maybe there is even a student board on which you can solicit advice for people to help you find your areas of interest.

Ramming speed and best of luck, given the clarity and well reasoned posts you are famous/infamous for, you should do great. We will all be routing for you.

One thing i can tell you career wise. You cant learn in a book what its like in the real world. Only job experience can teach you practice instead of theory.

If I had to do it all over again, I would take the law degree and go into the sports agent business.
