How Did You Choose The Degree/Program You Went To College For?

I had the hardest time figuring out what I wanted to go to college for. I wanted to choose a degree/program that I WANTED to learn about and a degree that I could make a decent income. I finally choose Legal assistant because I LOVE TO LEARN ABOUT THE LAW. I really would like to know how you chose your degree/program for college and what made you choose it? Thanks!
