I started undergrad as a pre-med, like probably 40% of the kids I ended up graduating with.

Then I changed to Anthropology.

Then I had an existential crisis.

Then I started taking classes I found kinda interesting and forced the University to find a degree that fit my credits.

Now I work in a field that's maybe tangentially related to what I ended up studying.

Your Mileage May Vary, but contrary to the messages our generation has been receiving since pre-k, college is not everything. You are not your degree, you are far far more than that. You are not what your parents want you to be.

KB gives good advice. Enjoy whatever remains of your undergrad if you can, while simultaneously trying to milk it for every professional advantage possible.
