- Jen the earlier that students can have life changing experiences for their career, they are statistically less likely they are to change majors. By the time I was Salvadors year in school, I had changed my major twice and would transfer and change it a third time. It wouldnt be until my senior year of college that I would gain my first real experience and realize that my major wasnt what I would have a career in.
