These aren't hypothetical — they're what real students experience every year.
4 in 10 college students change their major at least once. Many switch twice or more.
Students who switch majors take an average of 1.5 years longer to graduate.
At $30k/year average tuition + living costs, 1.5 extra years = $45,000+ in added expenses.
Every extra semester delays your entry into the workforce. At $55k/year starting salary, 1.5 extra years = $82,500 in lost early career earnings.
Students who feel mismatched with their major report 3x higher rates of academic stress, burnout, and likelihood of dropping out entirely.
