I just had to make the decision to switch majors, as a junior. I had been set on being a film major since my freshman year of high school, but after 2 years of taking classes in the program, I wasn't happy with it or what I was learning, and I was starting to get scared of being able to get a decent job when I graduate. I never, ever wanted to be the person that wasted so much time and money by switching majors, but I made the decision to switch to advertising this week. I am using all of the credits I've gotten in film to make a film minor, so I'm not wasting a whole lot of classes. I was terrified that my parents would be upset with me, particularly because they are paying for the vast majority of my education. They were actually incredibly supportive, though. They said they are happy that I realized what I was doing wasn't working, and that I solved the problem. It will take me an extra year to graduate, but I'm happy that it will be with a degree I feel is more fullfilling, and honestly it gives me more time to grow up (I don't find myself immature, but aspects of the real world do scare me) and plan my future and my future with my boyfriend. So yeah, it is scary but it's not the end of the world to change your mind. Just do what you feel is best and try to be economical with any major specific classes you might waste (like by putting them towards a minor or using them as electives)
