I started out in philosophy.  If it was a  normal, common job to simply be a philosopher, I would have stayed in it. 
I know people shit on philosophers, but instead of the reason being that it lacks utility, I just believe it's been hijacked by a tangent:  language.
As in philosophy has lost acclaim because those in the field have been bickering about language for the last 70 years.

Screw them.

Hmmm, I think I changed majors once and then added a second? Technically the first major I declared was accounting. But that wasn’t really a switch.

I had a family member who transferred once and switched twice. That person spent eight years in college, but it was back in the day, so you could work a 20 hour a week job that paid for an apartment tuition and living expenses.

I'm sure there's a list or ranking about changing majors

almost similar to the transfer portal

I recall starting Org Chem with folks sitting in the aisles, nearly everyone was "premed".  After the first test, it cleared out.  Over the year the class went from over 180 to 30-35.  Many of the rest went to business school or other.  That apparently was a big arbiter on med school entrance.

The U.S. Marine Corps says the development of a new family of relatively low-cost, long-range air-launched loitering munitions, or kamikaze drones, is "critical" to its new expeditionary and distributed concepts of operations. These future Long-Range Attack Munitions, or LRAMs, would be capable of operating in fully-networks swarms and reaching target areas more than a hundred miles away after launch from Marine Corps F-35B Joint Strike Fighters, MV-22B Osprey tilt-rotors, various types of helicopters, or even KC-130J Hercules tanker/transport planes.

The Marine Corps provided new details about the LRAM effort at a media roundtable last Friday. The kinds of drones would offer Marines a valuable additional means of striking enemy forces and just locating and tracking threats, all at extended ranges. Depending on their exact configuration, they could perform other tasks, including electronic warfare jamming. Being able to operate in a swarm presents its own advantages, including when it comes to overwhelming enemy air defenses.


The press briefing that touched on LRAM came ahead of today's release of the latest public update on the service's progress in refining and implementing its new, over-arching force restructuring and modernization plans, known collectively as Force Design 2030. Force Design 2030 is heavily focused on ensuring the Marine Corps has the necessary force structure and assets to succeed in what it calls Expeditionary Advance Base Operations (EABO), as well as in support of other joint service distributed concepts of operations.

Jack Swarbrick will step down as Notre Dame’s athletic director.

Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde was first to share that news on Thursday morning. Swarbrick is expected to step down from his role in the first quarter of 2024.

Notre Dame has already identified Swarbrick’s successor: NBC Sports Group chairman Pete Bevacqua.
