My son loved chemistry but hated biology. He graduated from ND with a chemistry major and medieval studies minor - but he wanted to go on, so he’s pursuing a PhD in inorganic chemistry. Many of his fellow majors went into medical or dental school. Some went into careers in chemistry. Some went into consulting. Major in what you love - you will find a job after university. What you think you love now may change or be augmented with other interests. You will never find your passion unless you explore the opportunities. Your advisor can help you know your options. One of the anthropology professors says “There is nothing you can’t do with that major!” In other words, enjoy the journey!
