I may decide to switch majors, but is it worth it?

<p>Investigation forensics? This doesn’t sound like a very legitimate major. Lots of directional state schools offer a lot of very appealing sounding majors (often with a real job application focus) but because they aren’t actually grounded in a primary foundational discipline, they are usually considered to lack rigor (which doesn’t help with the job market, and certainly not for graduate school if you pursue that later). A good general rule of thumb is to take a well established, foundational academic discipline that is relatively broad rather than some that sounds very cool but is actually very narrow and very applied. It’s all university marketing. Don’t get sucked into it.</p>

<p>If you want to become an investigator or go into forensics, stay with engineering, or at least choose a primarily basic discipline that is related to your area of interest (e.g. instead of majoring in ‘criminal investigation’ or ‘forensics’ look at say a degree in chemistry). Google is your friend here. Find out the actual degrees of folks actually working in the area you are interested in working in.</p>
