Hi all,
I'm 22M. A year ago, I dropped out of business school to pursue my own startup. I can't say my startup has taken off yet- but I'm still working on it. It definitely hasn't reached the point where I've been able to generate enough income to live off it- but I suppose that's the 'ultimate' goal.
I've read around 70 books this past year (and have taken comprehensive notes on each one). I learned a lot during this period about startups/business/life/productivity in general.
Anyhow, out of pressure from my parents, I'm now looking at applying to a college program and trying to decide on a major. I'd like to get your insight as to which option you think might be best for me.
My possible options include:
Another factor is- these 3 majors are completely relevant to startups/businesses. I'd love to continue building startups/businesses as my career, but I'm running out of cash and I need an income. Hence, this thread. FYI: Parents are paying for my schooling.

My possible options include:
- Something design-related. I do love design, good UX/UI, and I'm not bad in Photoshop. Always thought I was better at design than at coding.
- Something marketing-related. I would probably learn about branding, marketing strategy, etc.
- Something in the field of advertising / copywriting.
