Comments: I would say, choose your major for the right reasons, not strictly for the financial stability. I've known more than a few business and engineering majors who are in it strictly for the money. I agree with everything on this list, especially the last one. The changes one goes through in college are exciting, don't be afraid of them! Comment by: diperniac
