It could help you move into a field of study that you actually enjoy. We need to work for a majority of our lives; we might as well enjoy whatever job we have!

Your major has a huge impact on your future. It will determine whom you work for, and what you do for a living. You can’t go into the medical field without a medical degree; it just doesn’t work that way! Choose your major wisely, and change your major if you feel like you need to. You won’t regret it.
“But what about my credits?” Yes, you have taken some classes that may have been specific to your old major. But your future career is worth one or two wasted credits. Most of the time, schools are actually able to put those credits into elective slots, so they aren’t wasted. This saves both your time and your money, making switching your major even more favorable.
Do what you want to do! Follow your dreams, and choose a major that will help you accomplish your dreams. Don’t panic about changing your major. Take a deep breath. In the end, you will thank yourself for it!
