I can't decide

Before coming into this class I knew I was going to have to write an 8-10 page research paper. The only thing I hoped for was that I would be given a specific topic that I would have to research, because for be picking a topic is the hardest part. I am one of the most indecisive people in the world and am having a lot of trouble picking a topic. I have a couple ideas right now but I am not sure I will be able to get enough information to meet the length requirements for either topic. The first idea was to research the pre-pharmacy community and see what is the appeal of it over pre-med. I would also want to compare the competitiveness of a career in pharmacy over some of the other health related careers. The advantage to this is I am in the pre-pharmacy club and would have easy access to a lot of information. It would also help me to know if this is definitely the path I want to take in my career. The downside is that I am not sure I would be able to write 8-10 pages without going of topic. The other topic idea I had would be to research the Catholic community. I could research how many people stay with their faith after going to college, being on their own and making their own decisions. This topic would interest me because I have seen it firsthand where during college people forget about their faith and after graduating either never go back or it becomes even stronger. The downside to this would be that I am not sure who I would interview or if there is even enough legitimate information to make an argument. I hate having to make these decisions but I will choose by Thursday.
