Forced to change major to English

"... I chose chemistry because it's fun, but I didn't have a firm grasp of what I wanted to do with my degree." - chemjeff

At least what you found fun was useful in the real world.

My original major had to do with the idea that a future network of computers would totally change all our patterns of work, home, travel, education, and commerce. True. But so what? Fortunately, I was forced to change that to English... right before I dropped out.
