<p>Schoe2, you need to chill a little. OP never said he/she was only interested in “fish and dolphins,” you’re projecting. College is about expanding your horizons and learning, not just about finding where the money is and chasing it; OP, like all adults, will figure out the balance of pragmatism and passion for him or herself. If he/she is an incoming freshman, the question before him or her is what courses to take, next month, and the answer I would give is, take an assortment, don’t fence yourself in too early, and, specifically, triple-majoring is probably not a good idea simply because you’ll have fewer choices and more stress, and not much payoff in perceived accomplishment–I actually think most people would look at a triple-major and think, kid couldn’t focus. A double major is plenty.</p>
