Well, if you're pretty sure you want to go to college and you wouldn't rather learn a trade (ex. Hair cutting, estitician, etc) then you can figure it out in college. My school had you select a major, and then dumped your major courses on you right away so that if you didn't like it, you could switch right away. Other schools might have you start with your gen eds and then have you choose a major.
I was fairly certain business was my route, so I went to school for business admin. The good thing about that degree is that there's a lot of ways you can take it, and now that I've been working, I know more specifics and can go take the extra courses. I did know a girl who changed her major three times in college. I tutored in accounting (really, I should have listened to my professor given that he was right, he told me to switch majors) and so many people switched majors after the first accounting course because some of the business administration courses were finance heavy. So no, your counselors telling you that you have to know exactly what you want to do right out of high school is a lie. A general idea is good, but you're entitled to change your mind.
I never cut school. My mother would have killed me if I had ever even thought about it. I was the only senior there on " senior skip day" except one other girl whose foster father was the school guidance counselor.
