I'm with Eddie.. I changed my major three (almost four) times.

I began as an undeclared/liberal arts major, and decided on studying international trade immediately. After the first year, I realized I enjoyed something more social/behavior sciences, and then switched over to economics to avoid wasting half of my first year credits. By the end of my sophomore year, I was hating life, and realized it was because of school. I finally decided I was going to study what I enjoyed and declared myself an anthropology major. As for consistency, I maintained a declared minor in mathematics my entire academic career. I was even able to double minor in child development, which relates to my current field of work.

I'll be graduating from UCLA this Spring with a Bachelor's of Science in Anthropology, emphasis in primatology and double minor in mathematics and child development, w00t! College graduates rule.

I have no regrets.. Sometimes, it takes a while to figure out what *you* want to do. I realized I would've been pretty miserable for the next three years if I studied trade or economics. Like Ian said above, just because you graduate doesn't guarantee you have any direction in life yet.

My first time in college I went to the Academy of Arts in the Bay area. That didn't work out for me so I decided to take a break.

Now that I've established myself in the Automotive Industry, I went back to school for a BS in Business and International Marketing. I'm going to use the sources I have made here to get my foot in the door with the career I want. Supreme BS lazy bum in the the Automotive Industry.

P.S. I took a year and a half off to work in the automotive industry, but will be graduating in five. Take school at your own pace... Unless you have parents breathing down your back.

Oh, I'd change my major and pursue on owning a hole in the wall pastry shop. I'd love to take classes at CIA (Culinary Institute of America) but it's super expensive.

I started as a business major then just took all Econ courses and got my degree in that. Then I went back and got a Masters in Arabic Language and Culture. I think I may look into a Phd program within the next few years.
