How do I go about deciding my major?
I'm currently a high school senior who is taking dual enrollment. I have already completed 62 credit hours towards my business management major, but have been considering switching out to nursing/engineering mainly for pay and job security. How should I go about this decision? Is it worth it sticking with business? Is it worth it doing nursing/engineering for the pay and job security? Growing up, I've always had an interest in business and entrepreneurship, but the amount of people I've heard having a hard time finding a job concerns me since the degree is so broad. So I've been considering nursing (because of the fact that I'll get to talk to people and won't be at a desk all day, and i'll be able to help people in some type of way) or engineering (I'm good at math and I've heard that engineering degrees can look appealing and can be a way to let employers know about your technical skills or critical thinking abilities due to what you studied)
