Know anyone who had to "downgrade" their major?

I think your title was quite clear. It can’t be ignored that some students start in a certain major/career path and soon find out that the req’ts are too hard for them.

<p>True…but you know…some students switch out of majors like engineering because the course of study was NOT what they expected it to be…not because it was too hard for them. Some students who love math and science assume they should be engineers (or premed)…or perhaps their parents think they should be engineers (or premed). Since most 18 year olds have no idea what this really entails, it’s no surprise that some students think these majors will be one thing…when in fact they are another.</p>
