Abstract
In the 21st century, people who have obtained a university degree have, in a big scale, more opportunities for obtaining a better quality of life. Having accomplished a university major can bring many benefits in students’ lives. They can easily find their “dream jobs” with a variety of remuneration options; have economic stability depending on the area chosen and also, obtain opportunities of traveling aboard and meet new people and cultures. For those and many more reasons, students are deciding to begin college studies because they know that just having a high school degree is not enough for accomplishing everything they want in their academic and professional life. But, what happens when a student thinks that a major in particular will be his or her “key to success” and it turns that the one he or she chose was not close to that ideal? And then, he or she takes the decision of changing the major and starts a new one? What are the reasons that influence that important decision?
