I started college as a biology major, with no clear idea of exactly what I thought I was going to do with it, and vague notions of studying animal behavior in the wild.

After my sophomore year, I switched to nursing. Had I stayed in biology, maybe I would have done wildlife rescue, altho my heart would have probably been constantly in shreds from having to say goodbye all the time. I know I would fall in love with every critter.
