sorry drb I was kind of tired when I wrote that.

Yeah ncmentor I see where you're coming from. I was just thinking that maybe it was time to limit myself and do that focusing. I could easily see myself spinning around in a year without a clear major, and MIT would have helped by reducing the options.

People prefer to make changeable decisions rather than unchangeable decisions because they do not realize that they may be more satisfied with the latter. Photography students believed that having the opportunity to change their minds about which prints to keep would not influence their liking of the prints. However, those who had the opportunity to change their minds liked their prints less than those who did not. Although the opportunity to change their minds impaired the postdecisional processes that normally promote satisfaction, most participants wanted to have that opportunity. The results demonstrate that errors in affective forecasting can lead people to behave in ways that do not optimize their happiness and well-being.
