What should you do if you want to switch majors?

Will it be extremely expensive if you change your mind on what you want to do? I'm indecisive and I'm afraid I'll put myself into debt if I decide I don't want to be a pharmacist anymore. I don't know how the process works. Should I just suck it up and stay with it? #college #finance
