How many times have you changed your major in college?..any advice?

Man, right now I have finished my first year of college, and its really a pain not knowing what I want to do yet. I really don’t have the resources to just change my major every time I want to. Thats why I’m attending community college. I gotta choose something I really want to do and stick with it! …any advice?

Hey there i saw this on the contacts thing, i thought id answer this since i know a bit about it.

Ive never really changed my major in university as I kinda still like the major im doing. I go to a university in Australia, so the system might be a little different. Anyways on choosing majors you should consider:

* What subjects you’re actually good at- dont listen to ppl who tell u that u should do a certain major, they’re not the ones who have to study for it

* The employment prospects for the particular major. You can do this by researching through the internet, looking at careers sites, recruitment firms sites, job ads online and talking to your career counsellor

*Your financial situation and whether you can afford the fees for the particular subjects. Also consider the study loads for the major.

* Lastly, this is obvious but try to choose a major you’re passionate about. This definitely helps and gives you motivation during hard times like studying for tests and exams

Good luck:)

Yeah, you definitely want to have a major picked before you start taking junior and senior level classes. These classes are specific to your major, so if you change majors, you will “lose” all those hours. I ended up changing my major several times, started out as an accounting major, so took several business classes. Then changed to math education (big mistake, too much math), then changed to educational psychology. Then I dropped out of college for a while to get back on my feet. I transferred to a new college, and they did not have an educational psychology degree, so I went with plain and simple psychology, but the business courses I had completed counted towards a minor in business administration (yeah).

As for picking a major, you may want to go to your college’s career counseling office and talk to them about all the possibilities available to you. In the meantime, start thinking about what makes you happy, what interests you, and what you think you would like to do all day long for the next 40 years.

I think what job he takes or what major he picks you shouldn’t concern yourself too much about or offer advice, it will just become an argument. What you want to focus on is making sure he knows that once you finish school you won’t be supporting the two of you. He will have to take a part time job. Or finish school on time. Or get a real job and quit school. I wouldn’t be looking at divorce. Divorce isn’t something you do the first time there is trouble in the relationship. But if he seriously is thinking he can jump from subject to subject, not work, and rely on you -> then you can’t bail fast enough. I would give him time and space to figure it out. But be very clear you won’t be paying for him to not work and to play at school.

You can just chose Liberal Arts if they are making you choose, I changed my major several times. I ended up just getting a BS in Liberal Arts because I had so many units in so many different fields. You don’t have to know yet, but if the school wants you to choose based on a class you liked or something general so when you transfer you have a diverse background.

I’ve changed my major twice and it’s not easy. Be sure to know what you want to major in by the middle of your sophomore year or else it going to take longer to graduate, especially if the majors are completely different.

At a community college I doubt you’ll be doing much of anything.
