The biggest con, is that he really is up in the air as far as what he wants to major in and none of his classes that he has taken thus far has grabbed his attention. He’s putting more pressure on himself than we, as parents are. We keep reminding him that there’s a reason why colleges don’t require you to choose a major until the end of his sophomore year but he keeps thinking that he doesn’t want to take any classes that won’t be credited to completing his major requirements.

<p>The main issue he may be facing is if any of his possible majors has a long sequence of prerequisites or otherwise needs course work taken promptly to avoid delayed graduation. If the department is small and offers some required-for-the-major courses infrequently, missing the offering of the course may cause delayed graduation.</p>
