Should I go pre-med or switch my major? Future Bowdoin student

That being said, if I decide to let go of pre-med, I feel like it will be difficult to get a job with a Sociology degree

My sister was a sociology major at Bowdoin and got a pretty good nonprofit job right out of college. At a school like Bowdoin, pretty much nothing you can major in has a direct career path - you can’t major in business or nursing or engineering, so you may as well go wild and follow your interests. Playing a sport definitely helps with networking.

I know DI sports can cause real conflicts with science courses (esp. labs). I don’t know as much about DIII; I would ask around about it, see whether it’s been done.
