i went back to political science and really enjoyed it. i could goto class, have fun, take notes, ace exams, and be on my merry way. i zoomed through the major which opened up another area for me.
i added sociology as another major and took those courses. the mix b/w the two (polsci & soc) was great. needless to say, i finished the two majors in 2yrs.
graduated on time (4yrs) even though i was delayed because of my prior major path. im happy with my decision, i have contemplated going to law school (took a practice lsat) and also flirted w/the possibility of getting an mba.
money was never an issue for me :dunno: .. 1yr later (after graduating) i consider myself to be on a pretty good path to success.

That way I'll have low expectations and if someone can actually string together a coherent sentence or appreciate my writing/speaking ability, I will be pleasantly surprised.
