CHECK IT OUT!  Need an answer for a friend.  Should she change her major?
455086
Well basically your friend can change it if she wants to. Since business does relate with Economics, it would be easy to do. How long has she been in college? If she wants to get out really bad then she should change it, but only if she really thinks that she will be happy with it. I mean it is her future and there are many paths to take.

Well it depends on what she likes. If it's academically specialised towards a specific academic focus, is she devoted enough to stay on that track? And how hard would it be for her to stay if she decided she wanted to focus on something else academically.\n\nMy suggestion would be to apply, go to open events, if the school has any, and have her spend a day there if possible, so she can talk to people and find out if thats what she really wants. If she decides not to go, then that's it. If she doesn't apply, it may always be a what if kind of situation.\n\nGood luck to her.

www.fastweb.com\n\nIt is a subsidiary of monster.com\nIt is FREE.\nIt includes a college and scholarship search, and descriptions of majors.\n\nIt might be helpful to do what I did. Copy the list of majors in a word processor. Go down the list and erase everything that you don't want. By the end you should you 5-10 things that would be good at/want to do. Keep this list, but choose off of it one of two fields that you feel you could really love. \n\nI did this in choosing a major for college in my Junior year of high school. I had Political Science, Civil Engineering, Architecture, and a couple others and I settled with the one about which I knew I could feel passionate: Architecture.\n\nKeep in mind that you don't need to know what you want to do to go to college. The average college student changes her/his major 2-3 times in her/his undergraduate career. An "Undecided" major can allow you a lot of flexibility and allow you to take classes in different areas and see what you like.\n\nYou can also double major, or get a major and minor(s), if you really love two or more fields. Best of luck.

Well first you would need to get a college catalog and look up the requirements... or you can go to the department and seed if they have a breakdown of what is required. Sometimes advisors are not much help because they don’t really read the catalogs themselves... I would try to buy a catalog ( oh make sure its from the year you declared your major because some changes that happen may not be required for you) and then contact the dept  directly and see if they have an advisor there... have them help. What school do you go to... I am a college grad... my major was education. If you have any more questions... you can email me at ksk108@yahoo.com and just put something in the subject line so I will know its you!!\nGood luck... Also, if you give me the name of your school I may be able to find the catalog online.

Only you can decide what you want to do, but i can tell you that i am going to be attending drexel university in the fall, to study nursing (B.S.N/M.S.N Dual Degree). From what i have seen, nursing is an extrememly rewarding field, with so many opportunities.  Hospitals are hurting for them, and it is not difficult at all to find a job.  You can do everything from becoming an LPN, RN, and then going back to school to become an advanced practice nurse. I hope i dont get bashed from someone for saying this, but from what i have seen, there are so many more opportunities for a career in nursing as opposed to social work.  Get job descriptions and such off of www.salary.com. Nursing also offeres great flexibility with regards to scheduling. Good luck with whatever you choose!

I was a psych major and I found taking an elective in an area I found interesting, such as languages and arts, was a relief from the strenuous required courses. I hope this helps and Good Luck!

well, though i haven't been involved in the field directly, i have taken courses in public affairs and policy management.  these courses are a lot of work, but if you're into developing strategies, investigating role players, and researching trends; it could be the kind of thing you would like.  i probably would have enjoyed my class more with a better professor, if that helps.  i saw you said you would be ok as long as you weren't given too much of it.  public affairs and policy is probably going to test your limits of "too much", but you seem like somebody that would enjoy working in this field.  It can be challenging and fun if you want it to be, but boring if you really aren't into it.  I hope that helped you out...good luck!

You need to regain the vision of why you are there in the first place. Perhaps the course in question is not interesting, but you are there to get your degree and this course is a "necessary evil".  As a management degree holder, that's how I made it through science classes!

Have you been to your guidance cousellor? They generally have vast lists of major options and what you can do with each major after a degree. THey should also have online references and some forms of career assesment tests. YOur academic advisor in college will also have or direct you to similar imformation. In my humble opinion you sound like a good fit for veterinarian or zoology majors. Good luck in college! I am sure you will find something you love, all the research to find what you love is worth it!

Probably. There are many confused freshmen out there who don't know what they want to do and who mess up.  \nYou just need to sound like you now have a goal and a plan (and actually- your description above doesn't have me that convinced- are you sure you are ready to go back?)

What major do you want?

Wow, she's depressing.  I've actually loved a lot of the college classes I took.  I've got one now that I hate, but you can't win 'em all, right?  Actually, college classes are usually a lot MORE interesting than what I got in high school.  I can't speak about Chemistry much (I've managed to avoid it most of my life), but I've found that most subjects in college just go deeper into areas I didn't know existed, and I got to find out lots of neat things.  I suspect you'll find you like some of what you find in college, and not so much in others.  But if you like Chemistry, give it a try.  A lot of how much you like a subject in college depends a lot on how good the people teaching it are.  You can always change your major if you don't like the professors or something.  As long as you've decided for sure by the beginning of your 3rd year, you are probably not going to lose much time.

Well, this really depends on what you want to do with your college degree and in general what you are interested in.  I would suggest picking something that you are interested in and take that.  Pick subjects that are required for your major, but also select electives that you find interesting or that you are curious about.

Are you sure you're in the right major?  That's generally the number one problem I see in students that are having trouble motivating themselves to study - they're just not interested enough in the material.  If you're still a freshman or a sophomore and struggling with your lib ed requirements, that's understandable - but, if you're also having trouble studying for the classes in your major, then you may want to reassess.  I was in the same boat as you about 5 years ago.  Every time I tried to sit down and study, this wave of lethargy would sweep over me, making me very tired.  I've never napped so much as I did those first couple years of college.  I finally realized that I had less than no interest in the classes I was supposed to be really interested in, and took some time off to figure things out.  I'm not saying you necessarily need to stop going to school, but if your classes aren't exciting you, perhaps you should go talk to one of the academic advisors for undecided students.  They're trained to help you figure out what you're really interested in.  Good luck!

Philosophy is a joke of a major so you might as well do both. A dual major looks more impressive.

When I was nineteen, I dropped out of college temporarily. Waiting tables and selling menswear for a semester was plenty for me to decide to be more interested in my studies. \n\nI am guessing that you do not live in the US, that in fact you live in a place where dropping out of school for a while and changing your major are not common. It may even be the case that you did not choose your course of study. That would change the advice anyone would be able to give you.

When I was an undergrad freaking out about my major, the best advice I got was to do the following: Pick up a copy of your university's catalog, somewhere near the front of it will most likely be a list of all the possible majors at your school.  Now, go through and cross off everything you know you definitly DON'T want to do.\n\nIt was simple advice but it helped me so much.  I was overwhelmed with possibilities, once I was able to narrow down my options (in this way), I felt like I could more easily choose.  \n\nI think that will help you a lot.\n\nThen, yes, go talk to your advisor and anyone else you know that has a job you might be interested in.\n\nAnd finally, your major does not decide your life.  Most businesses are interested in you having an undergraduate degree, from there you can always go to graduate school once you have a more specific set of career goals.
