<p>A student with no academic passion for anything may take this route, run up against the institutional deadline to declare a major, and declare whatever happens to have the fewest prerequisites. Then he will graduate with a degree in a field that he neither likes nor necessarily has much in the way of job prospects. Then what?</p>
<p>Actually, this may be anathema to many here, but what about going to a community college first, where there are fewer financial or institutional limitations to exploring various fields of study before declaring a major? He may be able to sample a wider range of subjects at the community college (perhaps over more than two years, but extra years at community college are inexpensive compared to extra years at a four year school), then eventually figure out what he wants to do, complete the prerequisites, and transfer to a four year school.</p>
