[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The major does not matter for most jobs! Especially from a top school. 
They are only a sophomore, why move them when they are doing well socially? They just need to pick a major such as political science, bonus if they can add a stem minor that they like, or double major. Do not move them. If it is truly one of the top -10 LACs it will have much better change of getting to know professors than moving to a big school. [b]Talk with professors, for every class, ask them how they got into their field, ask them what other fields they know about. Go to careers services. They can focus on figuring out what jobs they definitely do not want and should try many other things including study abroad, summer fellowships in the US or abroad, see what inspires and what does not. [/b]. Those opportunities are much easier coming from a T10 LAC.

All of this.  Have them ask professors and career services if there is anyone that came to x career or switched majors/added majors as a sophomore for some of the things they are considering.  Talking to people in a similar boat who didn’t know coming in what they wanted to do, but figured out and got to where they wanted to be would be helpful.  If they talk to professors, career services, and alumni and figure out what they want isn’t possible from the LAC they should then consider transferring.[/quote]
