    Yeah this is a pretty good approach. I didn't realize the amount of people I would run into that couldn't decide on their major when I first got to college.

    Depends what you like to do really, if you want to get a career where you make a lot of money or a career that you enjoy. The person who said take basic courses and then see what you wanna do, well I guess it works if you dont plan on going to a university and spending 4 years of your life in studying. Not saying thats a bad thing, but for me that would be kinda of a waste of your youth. I'm the type who wants to get done with college and get a job as soon as possible and settle down in life a soon as possible, so if your that type then just decide now what you wanna do. See what it is you like doing, hell even ask your parents what they would like you to do, it might seem something boring but you could end up liking it. Asking people for opinion on what you wanna do is kinda hard, it all comes down to what you wanna do, the people I would discuss something like this with would be my parents and relatives.

    Done it, except only freshman year because I go to a technical/2-year school. Except no gonorrhea. :-\

    Personally, I went in knowing what I wanted, which is also a tiny reason I only attend a 2yr.

    Also, I doubt many schools will not allow you to change your major, unless you're going to an Ivy League. Most will allow you to change your major whenever, because you may not have taken the required course and have to stay longer, which means more money for them. I know plenty of people who have gone 3 years at a 2 year, 5 years at a 4 year.

    Just go in if you are not decided by your senior year and take your generals. Such as Composition 1, Which ever level of math suits you and your major, etc etc. And since you wont have many generals, check into how many credits of electives you need to also fill up your time. Such as if you have a technology elective you must fill in, take intro to computers or something easy or whatever you may find interesting that furthers your likings.

    Sorry to kinda bump old topic, but hope this helps. :)

    I'm in university now, but my advice, whatever subject you like the most, try to find a career that goes with that subject.
