Career In Meteorology

Deciding on a career to pursue?

What would be a good career for me to pursue? What's a good entry level in any of the careers I've listed? I'm set to go on for a Bachelors in Computer Science but I'm not sure if computers are the way for me to go, at least, not as a main career. I'm good with computers, I have a decent knowledge both in theory and practice and things I don't know, I'm quick to learn. But computers don't hold much interest for me. It's something I'm skilled at, not something I'm especially enthralled with and not very mentally stimulating. I can see myself becoming sick of it very quickly and hating my job if it's based solely on I.T. I don't want to be stuck behind a desk or hanging off a phone day in and day out. I'm mainly interested and enthralled with... Meteorology Mineralogy Oceanography Linguistics Archaeology Ideally I'm looking for a field of work that allows me to be outdoors. Having taken a few career tests, I've been shown as a pretty much an all-rounder, but many of the things I've listed are my top matches. My problem is that I really can't decide what I should pursue or how to begin pursuing it. I don't mind studying further or going directly to work but I'm so frustrated with this, I just want to do SOMETHING and NOW. The career adviser at my college wasn't much help and my council one wasn't much better. They're happy to advise you once you've chosen a career but they're no help in narrowing down a suitable one for you.
