| How many times have you changed your major?
If this applies to you, was the change a drastic one (i.e. humanities-->natural science, vice versa)? Or did you simply modify your interest(s)?

Once.
Computer Science --> Business (and minoring in Computer Science)
Why?
I'm not good enough at the core skills of CS to be successful at it in the workforce. Just not my affinity. But it does come with incredibly useful knowledge regardless, which is why it's still my minor.

So far, never. I'm a computer science major, and depending on where I transfer next fall I might swap to double majoring in Comp Sci and Math, or if I'm super unlucky and none of the schools let me into my major I might be changing it to pure math, which I really really really hope doesn't happen.
Uh, yeah. No changes yet, and not planning on changing.

Interesting responses!
Don't fear my fellow students, I've changed my major about twice! But I've contemplated on other majors for a really long time before finally committing.
Journalism ---> Accounting/Economics
Some other areas I was seriously looking into:
Communication
Advertising/ PR
Art History

I never changed, though I might add another major at some point. I've known I wanted to do psychology for a very long time. I want to add a communication arts major though, because I'm taking a class for my gen ed requirements and I found out I really like it and am good at it.
