Question
i am  planning to study in a college in the US(or canada) next year.i haven't decided on my major yet(not even close).I believe that the primary goal of college is preparing the student for work.this is one of the reasons why i want to study in the US,because i have a lot of  choices(until now i am thinking of marketing,law,anthropology,forensic science,theology ,journalism, and psychology)and i need to do a lot of things and undergo alot of experiences in order to choose my ideal career.i don't want to take any decision now.i want to wait until college to be be exposed  to all these things.
my question:i don't think that choosing a normal study option(one major) nor double major will suit me.I need a study option where i can choose from a lot of subjects from a lot of different academic fields(also aspects which are not academically related,i want the maximum amount of varied experiences there is).is there such a thing of a special study option that allows me to do that and matches my case?kind of a custom-designed academic program?
note:i mean by special study options stuff like"independent study" and "double major".
i appreciate your advice.  

Answer
Most colleges do not require you to select a specific major until the end of your second year.  You can always select undecided where it asks about a major on the application.  There are options such as an interdisciplinary major which is one that you design with an advisor that can cover the areas you are interested in.  Many schools offer this as a choice.
