Top 5 Reasons to Stop Switching Your Major

(Picture from Total Recall~)

What is the right major for you? It may be in Business, Science Major, Math Major, whatever. You just need to pick one and stick with it.

Here are 5 reasons why you need to stick with just one:

1. Once you switch your major once, you are likely to do it again and then it becomes a habit. Before you know it, you are on your 4th major?! and you are graduating 2 years later. Not good! Stick with 1.

2. Just Because you are in that major does not mean you will be taking only classes in that major. You will always be able to take other classes that you are more interested in as electives so stick with 1 major instead of Jumping AROUND all over the campus major board.

3. Ok, let's say you are a Biology major (Snooze...). You hate reading and want to switch to English. This major is easier but now you have to take a million writing classes and that means writing several papers for different classes and you are reading even MORE. That is time consuming and you are giving yourself more work. That was one example but the point is that switching does not always make the SUFFERING go away.

4. You might be switching into a major that a MILLION other students are switching into as well. That means when you graduate and are looking for a job, you and 50 million other students JUST LIKE YOU have the same qualifications and that makes you just another Job Seeker.

5. Let's say you hate your major with a passion, you switch it to something more to your liking. But then you realize that the major you thought you liked, you do not like as much. You just wasted a year or two of your college years, money, and life just because you did not like your major with a PASSION. In most cases, but not all, You will never like all aspects of your major or career, but you need to find something about the major that you like and use that motivation to stick with it.

When your Major is Sucking, Stick With It~
