There is no “wrong.” Each of us figures out our path as we go along.

But there is “expensive.” Too many major changes could get expensive.

There are some 4 year SUNY schools that have some of those “trade” majors you mention.

Deep breaths here. In spite of what people tell you, you really do NOT have to have it all figured out at age 17. Liberal Arts is a great start-- it gives you the opportunity to dabble and figure out what you want and what you don’t. So hopefully over the next 2 years or so, you’ll have a better idea of a direction and can narrow down that major as a Junior. If not, plenty of Liberal Arts Bachelors graduates have gotten jobs in a huge variety of fields. Some employers want that well rounded candidate, knowing they can teach the new hire the particulars of the job once they’re hired.
