Choosing a college major is a major decision, right? We look at how important it is to have a major picked out by the time freshmen arrive on campus, and how much your major determines your career path and eventual earnings.

"I majored in psychology, dabbled around for a few years, and now I am on my way to a masters degree in another field. Looking back, it would have been easier to have chosen a different major, but when you're 22 you're a different person! Sometimes real-life experiences show you the path to your career. It's a priceless experience no matter what, college teaches you much more than just what you major in," via Cheeky Monkey.
