That’s a great idea, and it’s what a lot of people do.</p>
<p>If, however, you know in your soul what field you want to be, even if it’s specialized, then by all means major in that as an undergraduate. I was a neuroscience major, and my husband was an aerospace engineering major, because both of us knew that’s what we wanted to be (and we were right – he’s working as an aerospace engineer and I’m a neurobiology graduate student). But if you’re not that fiery about a specialized major, then by all means wait to specialize until your later training.</p>
