Is there an “easy way” to decide between two majors?
I’m currently a high school senior headed out the door to college this fall. I thought I was set on Marine Biology for my major and everyone has been pushing me towards it as well, but my passion in Art and animation grew more and I’ve noticed that I am more interested in Art than I am in Marine Biology. I found a college that I can have a major or minor in either Marine Biology or Art and they did inform me that it was easy to switch majors/minors at any time. I still come back and ask myself which one I would choose, but I’m still tied between the two. Is there an “easy way” (or as easy as possible) to decide between the two majors? If you have any advice at all, please let me know.

How are some good ways to get into conservation internships in Northeast Texas?
Hello, I am an undergrad biology student at TAMUT. I am pursuing a Bachelor's of Environmental Biology degree. My top goal is to try and land a job as a Wildlife or Fisheries Biologist for a state or federal agency. Unfortunately, that requires a degree in conservation for most of those agencies, which then requires me to pursue a graduate degree since a BS Biology will not cut it for most agencies. These positions also requires job and internship experience. For about a year, I have been searching for internships from the agencies in the Texarkana region, but the very few internships or entry level jobs I find are always several hours away. I am a volunteer for Texas Parks and Wildlife, but that will not help me land a career later down the line I am told. Does anybody have advice or resources?
