<p>I have some specific advice regarding exercise physiology, as my daughter was previously interested in that as a major. She is a dancer and interested in the underlying mechanics of dance and movement. Her thought was that a career such as physical therapist might combine her interests well. After talking to some people in the field, we found out that she is better off majoring in biology than exercise physiology. Biology will give her a lot more options (and she loves biology anyway) for her future career choices. So if your son is looking at exercise physiology from a practical career standpoint, he might want to think about biology instead.</p>
<p>Having said that, I’d encourage him to pursue his passions rather than try to be practical at this stage. As long as he has strong college-oriented classes, it’s not as if they aren’t going to allow him to major in field X just because he didn’t take tons of classes in X in high school. For his interests, one area that would be worth looking into is film studies.</p>
