<p>Hi Duckwoman,</p>
<p>First of all welcome to the parents forum. I hope that your heart will heal and you take solace in the fact that your son wants to follow his passion which is a good thing. If he gets to the point that he wants to go to med school as others have mentioned, there are many roads that will take him there. </p>
<p>My D is currently a junior and freshman year it seemed that every couple of weeks she was going to major in something different as college courses were laid out like a big feast and she started tasting everything. With each "taste" she discovered something wonderful and "this" was the major. One week it was physics, then classics, then neuroscience, then government, history and now is a happy Religion major (took a course on the great migration and really got hooked). You should have been around my family to see the looks and hear the questions when she announced that. The main question that people asked her is "what are you going to do with a religion major?" Her response: anything I want. Has no inclination to go to seminary, become a minister or anything along those lines (plans on going to law school). She is currently doing a study abroad program in her major and just lights up when she talks about some of the discussions that take place in her classes. This makes me a very happy camper.</p>
