Accounting, Marketing, or Real Estate?

I'm going to be going to university in fall of 2016. My unweighted GPA is a 3.88, while my weighted is like a 4.2 or so. I'm in all honors classes, made an 1820 on my SAT and 26 on my ACT, which is well enough to get into the college I want to go to.

I've already knocked out engineering and pretty much all sciences. I don't particularly have an interest in those things anyway, so I'm not too sad.

I really like thing that make sense, which leads me to the broad field of business. I love creative, or normal, problem solving and dealing with real numbers. I was interested in architecture for a time, but they have scary high unemployment rates. I'm also interested in real estate. I really love looking at homes and properties, and I think I could have a knack for selling them. (My mother thinks so. She says I'm very persuasive and good at rewording things to sound nice.) But, real estate is super dicey as well.

So that leads me to marketing, where I'll be looking at how to sell things to people, which is cool too.

Every business needs accountants though, and my love for number sense draws me to it as well. I'm just afraid that accounting will be super meaningless and I'll live a shell of a life. (Deep, right?) But, then again, what I do with my salary to give back to people and make a change could be what matters. Accountants make decent salaries all around, so I'd have some flexibility with donating or volunteering, which is a huge plus.

Thoughts? Other suggestions?
