i’m an upcoming freshman in exploratory studies considering going into accounting and want to know how it is for that

i’m also considering majoring in econ bc although i’m interested in a business-related major im not set on accounting and vt is already so expensive for me even though im in state and id have to pay extra for a major from pamplin and i was already interested in econ but that might be dumb

how do i change majors? is there a timeframe on that? if i can’t would i be able to take accounting classes my first semester anyway

a lot of people here treat college as a big part of their identity and i wanna know if the same is true in other countries or if it’s just an american thing and if so why
id post in r/college but im banned

i’m kind of interested in all four and they seem to all kind of overlap so i’m wondering if it’s super important which i choose or if people from each major end up choosing similar careers

i know computational neuroscience stands out from the four but the college i’m going to has data analytics as the top listed career for people who choose the major

i’m slightly leaning towards computational neuroscience since i wanted to study psych for a long time so studying neuroscience somewhat goes along with that but im worried it’d be a bad idea compared to the other three if i dont go to grad school for neuroscience or psych

is grad school important or a requirement for all of these? which one has the broadest job opportunities outside their field? will i be stuck on a certain career path if i chose any of these

i know it’s subjective but are any of these majors more interesting than the others? i’m worried if i major in statistics my classes will almost be all math and i’d struggle to stay interested in the content

- require grad school
- isn’t healthcare-related
- doesn’t rely heavily on programming
- doesn’t require going to a prestigious school
- isn’t super super math heavy

does such a thing even exist? if not, what’d be the best option to fulfill all the requirements above and would it be worth going to college for?

edit: isn’t in tech, business, or super dependent on making connections
