Default Help a college student with \'major\' choice

Without trying to sound arrogant ….I am capable of learning and doing very well in college. Doing well for me does not come easy…. I literally work my ass off for every A.

Yet, I am unsure of what to major in. I do not have to reach a decision suddenly but I want some sort of direction. I came from a middle class family that has provided me the resources to be successful. As of now my intended major is in the engineering department. I want a job that will pay around 80k (does not have to be starting salary).

I can predict the responses in my thread…
“Do whatever you like best, its up to you and not us”.
-Yet nothing appeals to me.
“Do what you are good at”
-I can excel at anything so I’d rather choose jobs that interest me…but nothing really appeals to me.
“You are approaching choosing a major the wrong way, do what ever path your life leads”
- Perhaps, but I am confused. Any advice in general or story/experiences of your decision with choosing a major. Some people know what they want to do and stick with it, most people change their intended major…but I have no clue what I truly want.
