@momofboiler1 daughter is a professional. Maybe she will have insights.
Most/all engineering majors are difficult and structured.
You are right - easier to start and move out but maybe not so easy to figure out what to move into given rigid curriculums.
Know that professionally most Stem/engineers don’t follow the path. So even if she decides to stick with the major, her life isn’t committed to it.
Good luck to her.
