Changing majors

Better to change your major now than to get done and be stuck in a job that you hate and not be able to change! My daughter changed her major about 4 or 5 times but she did it before she graduated, that's when you want to do it! And by all means do something you like!

Since those majors might actually have a lot of overlapping courses, you should check with an advisor to see what changing majors would entail for you. I know I nearly changed majors at one point, but it was just too many classes. And you might not even have to change your major, maybe just add a language minor? Or if you are already proficient in another language without training, it might work to just have any degree just to have one for getting a job.

I am a non-traditional student (I started when I was forty), and I refused to do the major that the entry advisor tried to sell me. He thought that because I had ten years of restaurant management experience that I should aim for business administration. I had to tell him No three times before he got the message that I was serious about never wanting to do management ever again. I know that being a English major (with a history minor) is going to cause me no end of difficulties when it comes time to find a job if I ever have to consider management again. But honestly, I don't want to do that type of work. I want to be a writer. That is how I decide whether or not to take a class. Note that I have taken quite a few non-writing and literature classes, hence my history minor. Including three economics classes (a fascinating subject, at least to me). Honestly, if I was you, I would find out how hard it would be to change my major; life is too short to paint yourself into a corner with a career that you loathe.

hello there! you're such a very smart girl and i can sense that. it all depends on your choice, life is always a choice of destiny. but it should be where you become happy--this is what you should choose.

I'm sure you'll be able to minor in linguistics right now and just finish with good grades as a psychology major. Later on go to grad school with what you truly desire. Don't feel like you're stuck NOW - right at this point in your life is when you need to make a decisions. Because if you absolutely hate it now - imagine doing it for the rest of your life? I'm sure psychology is not just in clinical setting either. I know a lot of my psychology major friends are now student counselors. Of course they minored in development or education or something like that. Good luck!
