Don't do what I did and just take something you find mildly interesting. you end up totally sick of it by the time you get your degree, and then you have no interest in that field, along with a big pile of student debt.
Explore life a little bit first. Stop and do something you love for a while, especially since you're still young and can make the most of those experiences. After enjoying some life experience you'll be full of inspiration and ideas.
My thing I love is travel. unfortunately I went to school first. Then I traveled. While traveling I discovered something I'd really love to do, but now I can't really study that, because my time and money was wasted on school for something I don't actually care much about.
Also (I'm reffering to the U.S.A's system) a lot of time/money is wasted on 'pre-req' classes in uni. You can always take basic pre-reqs at any college or community college, and it will save you loads on university, while also giving you time to consider your eventual field of study. Look at what courses they would require you as basic prerequisites for... EVERYTHING... yea... sticker shock for basic math or english credits, that you probably already know, and you could have gotten anywhere and then transferred.
*note I had a high GPA and high SATs and I thought college was for people of lower intelligence. Actually, it's a very smart way to manage your money, as long as you make sure the classes are compatible with whatever uni you'd switch to.
Is it normal to not be interested with any kind of occupation?
