How do you choose the right decision for the future when there are so many?

I'm currently in college and I can't make up my mind. Sometimes I don't want to be in college sometimes I want to. Sometimes I only think about staying because my parents want me to. Sometimes I don't want to major in communications I want to recieve an associate degree in small business/entrepreneurship but I'm to afraid because after I finish I have to start a business what if the business fails. Sometimes I want to leave college and try to make my career without a degree through work experience and real life challenges. There's always this hope in my gut that maybe it'll work then reality sets in and I think I have better chances if I stay in college. How do you decide what to do when you have so many things to choose from? How do you make a decision you won't regret or that won't work out badly? Has anyone ever been in this situation? How did it turn out for you?

Where do you want to be 10, 15 or even 20 years form now? If you can answer this then the rest will follow. Each decision you make should be based on the question "will this get me closer to my goal?" Only do the things that you believe will help you get to where you want to be.
