Guys, thanks for the help. Think Im going to do Agribusiness managment and film minor. Any tips?
I thought about CM , but Ive never been good at math, chem, or even physics. Always a huge struggle for me.

Sounds like you should just go to trade school... learn welding or something.

It does. Don't listen to the naysayers. Investment Bankers and High Frequency Traders come through the Agribiz programs pretty regularly.

You have to spend a certain amount hours in your major to graduate. You've got to quit switching majors or you'll never graduate. If you're a senior and your GPA is high enough to graduate, just get out while taking as many classes as you can to boost your GPA. Then go get an MBA.

Bad plan. Only great degrees get you jobs. Think of every degree as a "general studies". It's you and your abilities that get you a job, not the degree.
Many jobs require a college degree, chose whichever path gets you a bachelors the fastest b

If you spent 3 years in pete, you should have all of the math, chem, and physics knocked out. All the cm classes just require basic algebra. There's only two very babyfied physics classes that are basically statics for dummies.

This should have been your first clue not go into an engineering major.

I would recommend majoring in a Science, like Geology or Biology. You're still going to have to take some tough classes, but it'll be easier than engineering for sure. I'm a recent graduate with a Biology degree, but honestly I would recommend Geology because it's easier to find a job. A lot of engineering/environmental consulting firms need geologists because many environmental projects need a "Professional Geologist" (PG) stamp on their final reports. There isn't such thing as a "Professional Biologist" however you can go alot of different directions with Biology.
Also I've found during my limited interview experience, your attitude during an interview can be more important than your diploma. Your diploma will make you a candidate for the job, but having passion for the field you're in, a level head, and showing a willingness to work will get you the job. Good luck!
