I have an IQ of 132 back when I tested it after I graduated high school on the mensa website, (Im in my first year of college now, although I hear those tests are culturally biased, Im white, but Muslim), and I have strong analytical abilities, a strong penchant for the social sciences, excellent ability of understanding how people and systems and social functions operate, great research abilities, and a love of children (although majoring in a field related to children may not be such a great idea at the moment because back when I was younger I went through an adolescent phase, and now that im autistic and lonely and relate to kids better, my mother (probably falsely) accuses me of being a pedophile, and is getting an evaluation done on me which costs 5,000 dollars, against my will, with 7 hours per day for 2 day of tests.

Major in English literature, with an emphasis on Lewis Carroll, and upon graduation you can seek employment as a sales associate in Macy's women's underwear department

Don't use your type to determine your career. Do something you love instead.

I think you may regret other people telling you what to do. You may worry about whether you are actually being authentic, or are just doing what you're told.

I would think about want to actually learn about, and see if you would be suited for a few of the careers associated with that major. Practicality is important, but so is being interested in the subject. If you don't want to actually learn about it you won't do well.
