Uhm yes, I switched from biochem to chemistry, because I really don't like living things. I also refined my second major from "math" to applied mathematics, although that's not really switching.

I switched from psychology to sociology when I took a sociology class as an elective and found out that I just liked it better.
I went in Computer Science and now I'm doing International Politics. Best decision of my life.
Actually, my school has a very small CS department, yet is in the top tier for International Affairs, so the decision actually made a lot of sense.

Well, I haven't yet, but I might. I'm currently going for 3-D modeling and design, but the place I'm at is horrible for offering those classes. All the schools that offer a game design program, or any kind of game development program/3-D modeling program, either aren't very good from what I hear or are too far away for me to go to at the moment. So, depending on how the court case with violent video games goes (which, I believe will have a negitive impact on the market, and by extension make jobs much harder to find in the game design field), I'm thinking I'll go for networking, as you can make a lot of money if you can get some Cisco certs.
Yeah, I went in majoring in English with a concentration in creative writing. Unfortunately, I was naive and didn't realize that classes wouldn't make me a better author; technically, sure, but mechanics aren't the greater part of writing fiction. So, after trying different programs at three different colleges, I swiched my major to dropout... I should've made the much less drastic switch to journalism.

I did a double degree, and mixed things up a bit in both. Hell, I technically switched fields at the start of my PhD (not recommended if you like your stress levels low!). Chemistry was probably the only thing that remained constant.
American student.
Switched my major my sophomore year from Business to General Studies.
General Studies is a major where I take 15 hours of 3000 & 4000 (junior and senior) classes in three different field of study. So I did, History, Geology and Criminal Justice. CJus wasn't my first choice as the third slot, but the Aviation Logistics college here is a joke.
Anyways, it didn't delay me at all, being that my first two years of college I only took core classes, so everything transfered very well.
In other news, I'm attending my 3 university, but I will still graduate within the 4 years I alloted for schooling.

Nope. I didnt choose my major, My major chose me. It took about 3 years (part time student) to realize most my classes were related to psychology. So it became apparent that I was walking down the path of psychology. naming a major just made it look more official.
Of course! its totally natural to change your mind! Its actually a good thing too. You dont want to get a degree and be unhappy with what you picked do you?
