Changing My Major

I didnt really enjoy my Accounting and/or Economics classes the first year of school. Now im in the second year and it's even worse. So basically I have started looking for a new major
Sort of been leaning toward Sustainability program here at ASU. Learning about alternative energies and such. Education is another possible choice, but it seems retarded to spend all this money on college to become a teacher
Feel free to post your majors and offer any ideas

Im just hoping I can have my Accounting classes taken out of my GPA if I decide to drop out of the business school. Right now I am failing both ACC241 and ECN212

I think Sustainability wins, the other option was something in the field of Construction

Sustainability is like alternative energy and shit
Im going to talk to an adviser next week and see what worthless information they have to share with me
No way am I staying in Accounting, they only offer morning classes and the material is fucking boring

We'll see. I got an appointment for Monday morning to meet with an adviser. I dont think I need to focus on a specific area for a couple semesters yet so that should give me enough time to get my feet wet and figure out what I want to do

I don't see Banez getting a ph.d anytime soon.
Considering I am a sophomore in college and just switched my degree I would say you are right.

I got switched over to B.S in Sustainability with a focus in International Development. The requirements arent too bad and the courses seem pretty chill

Actually has its own school now. The School of Sustainability. The program has really exploded over the past couple years

I havent found that to be true, but the only class ive failed is Calc 1 and that was partly due to missing too many classes
Microeconomics isnt really that hard of a class I just cant wake up by 9:40, just doesnt work for me and they only offer the business classes that I needed in the mornings.
I will take my E for this semester then next semester find a way to knock it out. It counts towards my Sustainability degree anyways so its a win-win.
I would just withdrawal but that would drop me below full time status and I would lose my scholarships.
