Just curious. I'm currently a CE major, and i really don't know if I want to do engineering for the rest of my life as a career, i really dunno what I want. Thinking of CS, or a CS/Business double major (or a single major.. there's a supposed program for that...). I dunno, i guess i'm just venting cause I'm so fustrated.. ugh..

Um, well, let's see... I started off with a double major in English and History, then I dropped out of college. So Would that be one change, or two? :)

Only twice, and I intend to keep it that way. I went from biomedical research to premed and now I am prepharmacy (hopefully soon to be pharmacy).

Zero. Started out as Engineering Route to Business at UT Austin and graduated that way.

The sort of it is unless you are going into a really specific field it dosen't matter what you have your degree in. In the real world experience is everything. Also, do what you love, if you do the money will follow.

CS->English->Economics. I had intended to double major in English and Economics after I switched from CS, but I ran out of time. :(

Once. Switched from Meteorology to Anthropology after my first semester. Been happy with it ever since then :)

Once, from Electrical Engineering to Finance. I see a lot of people switch from Engineering/CS to a Business major hehe. Maybe its because you feel like an idiot in your EE/CS classes and then you feel like a genius in your business classes hehe.

Once but only because they forced you to start as History before switching into International Studies at the start of your second year (there was an application process, basically). So, in reality, none (also a French major).

Started EE, still EE. I wanna change, but I dunno to what. I've just been spinning my wheels for quite a while now. I guess I'm sticking with EE, since out of all the programs offered it's the one I hate least.

Officially change majors.. Never...
unofficially.. many times
Chemistry -> Nueroscience -> Chemistry -> Biology -> Chemistry -> Chem / Nuero Double -> Chemistry

See a pattern?
