I need advice!!! I am going to be a sophomore in college and currently am a chemistry major. I am thinking about changing my major to landscape architecture but I don't know if this is the right choice for me. I am not talented artistically but with a good work ethic, I can make do. I am afraid that not being artistically gifted will put me at a disadvantage with this major. What do you think? I am really really organized, love being outside and gardening which is why I think this major may be the right one.
Change major to landscape architecture?
Give it a try! Even if it doesn't work out or you don't like it, you still have plenty of time to find another major. Some schools don't even make you declare a major until you're a junior, so don't worry about switching. Besides, working hard at something you actually enjoy will be so much more rewarding for you than working hard on something you can't stand. With all the computer graphics programs now, I don't even think that you need to be artistically inclined, because the computer can draw it for you. Maybe you should talk with the head of the department and see what they think, but I'm pretty sure it won't be a big deal.
