There is no shame in rethinking your program decisions. Burnout can at times be quite taxing. The mere thought that at one point one may end up struggling with a course could possibly make him or her give up. It is one of the reasons why I decided to pursue the History & Political Science degree at UMPI. Despite that some could describe this degree as "non-marketable" or even "useless", I felt that this would be the most pain-free option for me to earn a bachelor's degree, as I have some knowledge in the subjects. I have zero regrets for making this choice. Merely having a bachelor's degree (no matter the majors/concentrations) opens plenty of doors, most notably for master's degrees. Could I have pulled off some "more marketable" business degree at UMPI or some IT one from WGU? Well, now I do believe so (and "now" is the key word). Yet sometimes, I believe, for sanity's sake, it is better to choose the perceived (which may not be relevant at all!) as a "less-rewarding", yet easier-to-accomplish option. BLS is better than no bachelor's at all.
