I have mixed feelings about the whole stuck with your major from day 1 scenario. It is simultaneously appealing and frightening to have to make such a major decision that early in your life (which will have a strong impact on the other 70 or so years to come).
I didn't find my major (chemistry) until about a year in, and then I didn't even add my second major (biochemistry) until I was in my third year. Who knows what I would've picked if I were forced to choose from the get go. I was a "pre-engineering" major before I had to pick one. Whatever that means...
- ghaff 3y agoYeah, I adjusted my major--and arguably could have/should have changed it even more--in university. I'm not sure that forcing a high school senior to pick a major is a great practice.
