Hello all, this is my first post…

I’m currently a sophomore in a public 4-year university. I’m a undeclared science major(thinking about doing biology because I love animals, etc.) and I was thinking about doing research as career.
At the by the end of this quarter, I must declare my major. The reason why I’m considering a major change is even though I love science, I’m not doing quite well overall and I’m not sure if it’ll be good to continue like this. I did talk with my parents, but they’re not very familiar with how U.S. college do things, like “undergrad research has GPA requirements”, etc. It’s easier said than done.

When I was a high school senior, we talked about what I should major in with future jobs in mind, and the choices are:
1 biology/biochem ----( I was pretty good in high school bio,chem, env sci, anatomy/physiology)

1. accounting?-----it's a job needed everywhere, I have no problem with math, but I'm not sure if I'll like it. And my mom says it's easy math, you just need how to apply the knowledge...she makes it sound easy, but I know it's not? Maybe compared to science?

2. Art----- a hobby of mine and I'm great at it, as but the future for art major isn't as good my parents say, I do agree to some point because, in reality, it isn't).

I’m stuck. I’ve taken personality tests and whatnot to see what suits me, but science is the top one. Should I continue or change major? I’ve talked to my mom again and now, she’s letting me choose, but I don’t know anymore.
