is it common for you to change your major?

When I first started college, I went to become an engineer. But near the end of my first semester, I think I want to become a STEM teacher instead. Is it normal to question the major you thought you wanted, and change to a new major instead? #Majors

Should I get a part-time or university job while attending classes?
