For one thing, you may find you either hate it or love it later on. Until you are more closely in touch with the courses, the faculty, the textbooks and the like, you may not have a firm conclusion to draw. You may also try to shape your college experience to make it perfect. Do you want to combine your artistic and scientific talents? Try matching one with a minor or a second major in the other. Perhaps a sub-field, like irrigation control within a major like agriculture is something to consider. You can try to arrange an internship or a part-time job that gets you started in a direction you feel would be useful in establishing a basis for employment in your ideal position.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is doubtful that you will find the perfect major.
