				<title>changing majors</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hello dakka, I'm currrently a biology major and am halfway through my sophomore year, and I am relatively certain I am going to change my major to astrophysics next year. Astronomy has always been a passion of mine, and I have been contemplating making it my intended profession for a while now. The only problem is I will be changing from one of the most promising careers at the moment to one of the least. I figure that if I study what I am truly passionate about, it will be the right decision, but I keep picturing myself graduating and not being able to find a job or graduate school. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge about this field and willing to share any advice? I've talked to admissions councelors and people who graduated with a degree in astrophysics, but I'm still hesitant. ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ If the system is available to you run a degree audit report. See if your new degree will delay your graduation, mostly if you care I guess.<br /> Other than that follow your dream, if you aren't an astrophysicist by trade then likely you'll be glad you studied what you love before entering whatever profession you do enter.]]></description>
