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?
