<p>What are some majors that you can take during college that once after college, if you decide to change your field of interest, will make it easy for you to adjust to another profession?</p>
<p>What topics of study interest you? Instead of looking at the most flexible major in the entire college, you should be looking at the most flexible major in your desired field.</p>
<p>I’d say most liberal arts majors, but English, History, and Math come to mind as majors that will definitely leave your options open.</p>
<p>philosophy, haha, cos you pretty much have to do something else.</p>
<p>Philosophy and Econ, in my opinion, because they are both about analysis and critical thinking(albeit on different scales). philosophy might seem like a major for pre-law kids, but it also has one of the highest med school acceptance rates(50%). math might be higher, biology is much lower(about 38%)</p>
<p>Mathematics. Check out the Walls Street Journal article from this week entitled “Doing the Math to Find the Good Jobs” which I posted on the Parents Forum, Class of 2010 thread.</p>
<p>Psychology, can go into med/bio, can go into law, can go into marketing, can go into other business areas.</p>
<p>I’d say Economics. It blends sociology, history, and math. Also, if you double major or major-minor you can easily go into either of those two fields after graduating.</p>
<p>The liberal arts are great for changing professions. Quite honestly though, having a brother who is living proof that a BA in philosophy can take you far in the business world, i would say philosophy. It teaches good core writing and critical thinking more so than other fields. But of course English, Econ, etc are all amazing majors as well.</p>
<p>I don’t know about the most flexible, but economics is definitely one of the most. After economics, you can go into business, law, teaching, politics, and writing. You have to like math, though.</p>
<p>I’d say accounting. You can go into many areas of business with an undergrad in accounting.</p>
