Don't be afraid to change majors if it doesn't suit what you are doing- I went in undeclared, went to Chemistry than Biology, then focused into Pharmacy after getting an opportunity to check out a pharmaceutical lab. There are financial concerns always, but it's better to try and get out early if you're not too crazy about the field, that way it's easy to transition to other majors as a lot of them share the same core requirements. Otherwise if you decide late it's likely you'll have to do a lot of things over and end up paying more.
It's good to do what you are interested in- don't force yourself into a degree you have no care for, but be mindful at the same time that not everything's going to be pleasing to an employer once you graduate. Some degrees don't have much traction, unfortunately.
Most universities also have a career center like aldaja said. They're helpful people, and they can give you an idea of what you can do with your particular degrees and when to expect to get opportunities for internships and research opportunities, as well as how it is applicable to a professional field. |
