On another note I'm also becoming really depressed because I'm beginning to wonder why I didn't do Political Science as a major, as I seem to spend endless hours studying it and obsessing over it. All these years and money studying and I only find out now I want to change when I'm halfway through. I hate my life.
Coming to think of it, I hate specializing period. Master of nothing studies.
I don't remember if you ever said what year you are in college, but I did my first 2 years at liberal arts and transferred into political science. So I was easily able to change things over halfway through. Hell, i found out that I wouldn't be able to graduate in the political science major so I switched again this year (the beginning of my senior year) to social science major with options of history and political science. I also decided sometime last Spring that I wanted to go to law school. Luckily there's no requirements for law school (like X number of years of chemistry, physics, math, etc). Either way, going to college from high school I wanted to do business. Then, when I was transferring I wanted to do criminal justice, and after I transferred it was political science, now it's law and somewhere along the line history got thrown into the mix.
You can change what you do whenever you damn well feel like. It may cost you a semester or two, but you can do it. And honestly, when you graduate it doesn't matter what your major was. Nobody is going to not hire you if you're perfectly qualified and have a 4 year degree because your degree was in political science and they wanted someone who has a 4 year in history. Hell, you don't even get close to that kind of stuff until you have a masters degree and that's for like literal history research fields...even then. All they care about is the lambskin, they don't care about how you got it (unless it was murder...they might not like that)
