Would you stick with your major or go a different route?
I would throw English to the bushes for business of econ

Every undergrad degree that isnt STEM is a waste of money.

Can't even disagree with that

Anything else and youre better off starting a business with the money. If you dont have the money up front and arent studying STEM you shouldnt even go to college.
Nothing I said applies to top 20 schools though.
I don't know if I'd say that about medical degrees or finance/accounting degrees. I myself was an Accounting major.
If I had to do it all over again, I'd do Robotics. I've always wanted to build a real life transformer since I was a kid. Plus, cybernetics is the future.
I should have followed my interest but instead I choose longevity and stability. I will always have a paycheck but I'm just not into this shyt. Accounting is boring. I really wish I would have followed my interests/passion.

When people say STEM I don't think most think of medicine.Medecine isnt science?
And why do business in undergrad, what a waste of time.
I didn't say business in general, I was saying Accounting and Finance specifically. Not everybody can or is willing to start their own business. Everyone can't be a business owner.

I wouldn't change a thing.
Engineering major and I don't even work in engineering anymore. I work in media/arts.
School is not about getting a job, it's just an experience that teaches you how to learn.

Everyone can't be a business owner. Or a STEM major for that matter. Besides, the rarer the talent, the better the pay 
To the OP: I'd have thrown political science with law school as a goal in the bushes sooner than I did and gone into computer science straight away instead.

Idk technically @AquaCityBoy said biology isn't really STEM, I don't disagree either...Prob computer science/programming.
I actually was considering doing undergrad again because I figured Id get a ton of credits transferred and get scholarships. After my Bachelor's..I somewhat hustled backwards by going to a CC close to where I live..only took about 7 classes to get my Associates (with a different major) with my previous credits..got a paid internship out of it and got into the Honor Society. It opened up scholarship offers to UPenn, Colombia, Georgetown and other really good schools..for their undergrad program for people over 21...but I was ineligible because I already had my Bachelors.

When did I say that?
lol, start businesses with no idea of how to run a business, and no basic knowledge of economics, finance and marketing brehs.
surefire way to throw your money away. you sound extremely stupid .
that being said, I would've stayed an Accounting major (MAYBE switched to finance) but would've continued my goal to minor in Math or Computer Science instead of Psychology.
I like to think i'd choose engineering but meh...just didnt fukk with science in my highschool
I also wouldve got more involved with extracurriculars/networking events during my 2nd year instead of my third
