What major works best for a soon to be Pre-Med student but also allows a back-up plan?
I plan on pursuing Pre-Med in college, however I must declare a major. I want to choose something that I can also rely on (like a back-up) if I decide that Medical School isn't for me. Of course, I don't plan on quitting, but I'm worried that if something were to happen then I would be stuck...
