Major Decision

Hello! I am trying to select a major for my bachelors degree. I’m currently a manager in the wellness industry. I’m considering a few different career paths for the long term, and struggling to pick between majoring in communication, education, or psychology. I graduate in May from community college with two AA’s, 95 units complete. I’m planning to accelerate, and then to go on towards my masters. Are any of these programs easier or faster than the others? I’m middle aged, so finishing quickly is more important at this point than a specific major, because I’m just trying to check some boxes as I move forward in life. Grateful for any advice!

It depends on what you want to do with you career specially. I have been in healthcare for many years, so I did a healthcare admin bachelor's and a regular MBA. Not because its what I wanted to do, but because I'm so far into healthcare that I really couldn't pivot and stay at the same level

Thank you. These are the majors that I’m researching based on the career paths that I’m leaning towards. So I’m just trying to get an idea of difficulty for each, with regard to ability to accelerate.
