How did you choose your major?

[WaterChild]

I'm on my third declared major, and I'm still not completely sold, but I'm graduating in December so I guess I'm stuck with it. LOL

I started college with my declared major my passion, which is music, but after a few bad experiences in the program I became disenchanted and decided to leave it. I often still struggle with that decision and whether or not it was the right thing for me to do. At that point, I decided that I really wanted to study something technical. I've always been a math and science person, and I really missed that while taking only music classes. I switched from music to physics, but I decided I didn't like the faculty and moved to the civil engineering program. I stayed in the CE program because I enjoyed the coursework, like the faculty, and I figured that it was a sensible choice career-wise.

Talk to classmates, talk to professors, and try to take classes from an assortment of areas that you are interested in. Make sure that you pick something that you are truly interested in, and also take the time to think about what you would do with a degree in that area.
