<p>Go where few go...find the hard majors which many are afraid to try. These majors are almost always in demand.</p>

<p>… IF that’s what you enjoy.</p>

<p>While I agree that some majors are “worth more” than others (and I’d argue that a number of majors are “worthless”), it’s important to note that there’s nothing wrong with going to college for something that you enjoy, even if it’s not in a “tough” major and that if you are struggling in a “tough” major like Engineering that there is nothing wrong with switching in almost every case. </p>

<p>Although, I’m not sure if I would put Finance on the list of “majors which many are afraid to try” since it’s listed as [one</a> of the 5 most popular majors at FSU](<a href=“http://www.fsu.edu/students/]one”>Students | Florida State University), along with Biological Science/Pre-Med, Psychology, Political Science/Pre-Law and International Affairs.</p>
