I usually tell confused freshmen that they will figure it out with time. Most people end up switching their major anyway. And (though I haven't really done any research on this - but it might make a great thesis topic) I am willing to bet that most people do not end up working in a field related to their undergraduate major. I double majored in Psychology and Political Science - but I am working in University Housing and (slowly) working on a MsEd in Higher Ed. Admin. No Freud or Marx involved in either my work or my graduate studies. Great post. I usually tell confused freshmen that they will figure it out with time.
