<p>Welcome to 80% of the incoming college students, please take your ticket.</p>
<p>The beautiful thing about college is that you get to sample a little bit of everything. I leaned towards doing History and PolSci, but once I got into my CC I found a new love for accounting and economics. Now, if fate and the admissions folks at Cal are willing, I can pursue my two loves as a PolSci/Econ major. And to be honest, I don’t have a clue what I am going to do once I graduate. I have a general idea of what sort of field I want (which ironically enough is the one you are losing interest in), but it’s all up in the air.</p>
<p>And that is perfectly fine. You do not have to know right this minute. You are only in your sophomore year, and have not been exposed to the upper division classes. That is where you find the specifics of what interests you. Whether you go to Haas or L&S, you will still have a wide range of options. I don’t care about which one is considered marginally better or renowned. Where you go, what you choose, and the things you love are up to you and only you.</p>
<p>Perhaps, if you go to Haas you find yourself more interested in the bigger picture and focus in on Economics. Or, if you go to L&S, you find the practical applications of econ in financing draws your to more finance oriented classes. You can not and will not be pigeon-holed into only Haas or only Economics, unless you do it yourself.</p>
<p>You will have the options and the time to experiment after you get in, if you allow yourself. All roads may lead to Rome, but those roads also go to other places. Where you want to place yourself is something that you will have to consider later. For now, just get into the university first.</p>
