From experience, major in something that you will enjoy. Money does not make you happy. If you enjoy it, you will miss very few days and feel fulfilled.
Traceen’s Answer
You are the only one who can answer that question.
Some people have accepted their job as a fact of life and are not happy with what they do, but it is a means to an end. Others want to be happy and do what they love despite the fact that they arent making as much money as they want and will have to live a much more modest lifestyle.
Considering that you will be spending all of your adult life working, what is the quality of life you want? What is more important to you? There could also be some opportunities that you never thought of in your major that you love that are more lucrative than what you even thought about.
