You could be an undeclared major at first, until you realize what you want to do. If you have some ideas, take only one class in each subject so you can get a variety. Take maybe a psychology class for social worker, and some other class that has to do with police foundations. You can always see if you can get a job or an internship at one of those places to get the full experience.

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. I think you should see what you love to do most and whatever that may be you should do it. I think its not about the money but what will make you happy. If you like to serve and protect, Police is great. If you like to talk things more calm and help people then social worker is right. So if you want to excel at something. Choose something you know you are good at and love. And you will make it far in life.

Wow, you have a lot of expectations for yourself. I highly recommend trying out a few different courses just to see how they each feel to you. You never know, you might find something you're really interested in and passionate about. I recommend trying introduction to psychology because it covers a lot of different psychology topics to give you a little taste of each (I am biased because psychology was my major and I'm studying to be a therapist). Since you're thinking about police foundations, you should consider looking into a forensic psychology class. Also, since you're not sure exactly what you want as a career yet, try to relieve the pressure to have it all figured out by not expecting to excel at the course. Try looking at the class as a "trial run" just to get a feel. If you put too much pressure on yourself to do well in the class, you risk overlooking the positive parts and it could turn into a bad experience. Overall, have fun with it. Try out an introductory class that you never would consider just to make sure it's not the right fit (political science or biology). As I said, you never know what you will find. Good luck!
