<p>Hello All.</p>
<p>I've facing something of a personal crisis and am hoping to get some kind of feedback to help me cope. My situation is that I am in the middle of my sophomore year at a fairly prestigious university. I have carried out my first year and a half with the intentions of graduating as a History and International Studies double major. However, I have come to heavily question the value of such majors. I would not necessarily confine myself to careers restricted in those fields (though I am interested in embassy work, among other possibilities), but I still think that I could put a focus on something more substantial for my college time. Similarly, I have often found some of the classes to be somewhat underwhelming. That said, in the interest of expanding both my appeal and my options, I am considering switching to a major in Biology, with a minor in History since I am one class away from completing the requirements (Specifically Biology because it is the only feasible science I could switch into). Like my previous focuses, this would not necessarily be for the sake of a career in Biology, but to expand my horizons and options. I am interested in the field, and based on the courses I have already taken, I think I could do fairly well, though it will certainly be a struggle. I think it is further worth mentioning that I am taking Chinese language courses, out of interest and as a resume builder, and the transition would not change this.</p>
<p>So, with all of this considered, does this seem like a wise or advisable move? Is there anyone with experience with either degrees that can offer their perspective? Do you think this will be a better use of my schooling and perhaps increase my appeal to employers in general? Any insight would be terribly appreciated.</p>
