[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How normal is it for a high school senior to know what they want to major in? I hear people say their kids are a computer science major or pre-med. Amy kid has no idea. Could be absolutely anything from English to history to computer science to physics. Or anything else their college offers. Literally anything. [/quote]

OP, my kid didn't know what to major in either as a HS senior, and now as a college freshman with a semester under his belt, still doesn't know.  It was a little difficult for him when he tried to register this spring for a couple of classes in areas he wanted to explore, they were limited to students who had declared that major.  Not sure if that would happen though at a larger school (his has about 8,000 undergrads).

But otherwise he's still figuring it out, and we've been fine with it.  I had hoped he'd take the opportunity to take a variety of classes and see what interested him or lit a spark.  My nephew is a college sophomore and went in sure he wanted to major in x-y-z.  He's already changed his mind three times.[/quote]
