I changed 3 times I believe:

Physics ->pre-Engineering -> Econ BS -> Econ BA

What the hell I was thinking with the first two is beyond me. I've come to realize that I am not that great at math.

Right now I am dual majoring in Computer Engineering and Computer Science. I'm not really liking computer engineering so far (1st year, sophomore status) but I can't talk myself into dropping it until I get further into it.

I started with Japanese/international business, I actually finished a lot of Japanese classes and just need electives mostly, but when I took business classes (economics, and business administration) I really enjoyed it and switched to business.

Then while majoring in business I noticed 90% of students in my general classes were majoring business so I was like whoa what an overpopulated degree.

So I was going to switch to either econ/fin/acct - I decided to go with accounting and then after 2 years of accounting I got sick of it and was playing with the thought of switching to mathematics/physics, but that would have required a lot of catching up and several years of makeup classes - so here I am senior year accounting major.

I wish I had chosen mathematics or physics from the beginning, but now I'm just going to have to settle with a major in accounting and a minor in finance

I'm still an undergrad... graduating in 2008.

My majors are aerospace engineering and mathematics. I never changed them, but I may have if I really didn't like aero/astro (I was firm on doing math). I'll also be going to grad school in aero/astro.
