Should I leave a good school if I'm miserable there?

Thinking about the major – if you are starting your junior year, you may be far enough along in your math major that, if you did decide to switch to a history major, it would be relatively easy to complete the requirements for a math minor (if you haven’t already). I am in the physical sciences, but what I know of history is that there is a lot of reading and writing involved (really in most fields!) – but if you really develop your writing and critical thinking with a history major, combine that with some quantitative reasoning chops from a math minor, then you’ll have some mad skills to sell out on the employment market…

Good luck in figuring this all out.
