Why did you choose this major, and does/did it seem like the right major for you? Why?
After trying to switch into the Health Sciences major I found the Human Services department which I saw as a good path to preparing me to become a registered dietician. I was allowed to specialize in health sciences while taking clinical counseling courses. Human services opened the door into the non-profit realm with my coop and internship, which I never would have found otherwise.
