   I can't believe kids nowadays feel compelled to have a major lined up when   
   they enter college. When I entered in the mid-80s, it was perfectly reasonable   
   to go undeclared for your first 3 semesters, take lower-division classes and a   
   couple of classes in an area of interest, and decide after trying them out.   
   This was mostly in related fields, like business to finance/accounting/CIS, or   
   CS/Engineering/Math.    
      
   I had a declared major going in, but had options been available for something   
   more IT-related than hard CS, I would have gone down that route.   
      
   ...What is the reality of the situation?
