<p>As a parent who is sacrificing greatly to pay college tuition, I would want to know that my money is being wasted. Please take some time to think through the big picture here. You need to be honest with yourself before you can be honest with your parents.</p>
<p>Do some soul searching…is it just the major, or is it college studies in general that are the problem? Are you making good grades and enjoying your general ed required courses? Are you being a responsible student and doing homework assignments daily for those basic courses? If not, it may be that you are not college ready at this point in your life. </p>
<p>I would meet with an advisor in your current major, or in your desired major, and talk through your options. If you are about to get kicked out of school entirely, this whole discussion about what your major should be in not a priority. Decide if you need to leave school entirely, or come up with a realistic plan for being responsible and choosing to buckle down and do the work.</p>
<p>Are you struggling with physical/emotional/mental issues? Your school should have counselors and nurses that can help you determine if you need help in those areas.</p>
<p>Then meet with your parents and lay it out for them. If you have to leave school, make a plan for getting a job, and maybe taking one course at a time at a community college. But know that leaving school doesn’t have to be a Forever decision. You can choose to make a comeback when you are ready.</p>
<p>Best of luck to you as you face these tough decisions. The fear of change is worse than the actual change.</p>
