Seconded.

I started Elementary Education, and switched to Business (in practice the second semester of my freshman year, on paper at the start of this one). A while back this semester, I thought about switching again to mechanical engineering. And if I did, I would have wasted a full year of college. Much as everyone says to stay in college as long as you can and enjoy it and so on, I'm getting done in four years, darnit!

(My advice to all the high schoolers who may be reading this thread: when looking at colleges, look to see what credits you can apply to other majors at the same school. If engineering/business/basketweaving isn't what you thought it would be, you'll be glad you can get out without losing too much ground.)
