From a parent's point of view?

<p>I just have to tell you about a college friend of mine (time-frame, late 1970’s). His parents would only pay for college if he was pre-med. He hated it and dropped out half-way through his Junior year (he lived on the couch in my dorm room for the second semester of his Junior year). He got a job managing a rock band and discovered he had an aptitude for business. After about 3 years with the band he went back to college (at another school), got an accounting degree and then his CPA. He worked for one of the (then) Big 8 accounting firms, got his MBA, and now runs his own successful medical software company with a doctor friend from his original college (who obviously did complete med school). So sometimes it can take a while to figure things out and you have to do what you think may be right for you, rather than what your parents want you to do. Oh, and his parents are now very proud of him, although it took a little bit of time for them to come around.</p>

<p>Also, I strongly agree with the suggestions made above for you to seek out counseling for both your emotional health and your major/career possibilities. You are not alone!</p>
