My freshman year I took archaeology, Canadian Studies, Art History and modern dance to explore options, along with my intro classes for my major.  Loved each one but found that I really don't like history, so archaeology was out and the rest were more just interests that I could continue to explore as electives and on my own.

Fwiw, there was not enough room in my curriculum for any elective courses, thanks to some questionable practices by Clemson (calling 5 year programs 4-year so as to not intimidate parents).  What electives I did have room for I got because I had AP credits that got me out of a few of the General requirements.  Some of the more intensive majors just dont really give you much freedom in terms of actual classtime to invest.  Ive known since I was knee high that Engineering was the Path for me, so transferring majors wasnt much of a concern, but thats far from normal Im sure.  regardless, even with that sort of situation you will never have more free time than College, until well after Retirement.  So in addition to electives, dont get so focused on the classes that you cant take advantage of the extra-curricular things around.  There were several clubs and activities (including a Skydiving Club!) that I could have been a part of but convinced myself I didnt have time for.  Had plenty of time for anime and DnD apparently :P

Not nessesarily, but it will mean you managed to learn a lot of stuff that was useful in other ways :)
So... does that mean that the things i learned that didn't keep me alive had nothing to do with survival, or does it mean that I ought to study self-defense, eating dirt, and camouflage?

I am in high school.  Probably one of the youngest users on the forum.  And the least educated.  :'(
Hey man, I'm a Senior this year. I was a freshman when I joined. You'll fit in regardless. ;)
Is it just me or is it getting a little solipsistic in here?

Even non-STEM majors have this problem.  Most schools, music is a 4 year track, period.  No way around it.

Double-major bachelor's in anthropology and linguistics, and a master's in linguistics.

But I won't be going around correcting grammar; I studied minority and endangered languages. Sociolinguistics!

I've got a college diploma in Computer Tech, a couple of IT certifications, and I'm working on my Bachelor of Technology in Information Security right now. After that I want to work on my CISSP certification.
The only truly secure computer is one that is unplugged from the internet, turned off, and locked in a room to which nobody has a key. Of course, said computer is also completely useless. Computer security is all about balancing risk and usability. And making the other guy look like a better target.
