Because people inevitably change. Change is the only consistent thing we have.

Yes I agree to be proactive. Pick a major you like, enjoy the work, focus.
But I'm at least 20 yrs past you. I'm a cynic. What I majored in college, which I really wanted to do, is not what I ended up doing. This happens to many people. There's burnout, life issues, etc & some people realize the plan they laid out has changed.
But having that degree is never a waste. It can't be taken away.
If a student is in school, jumping around in majors, wasting class credits...& money then I'd suggest a leave of absence till they figure out what exactly they want.
