Picking a major
Hi guys!
I'm currently doing my BSc and i just needed some help picking out my major. So far I'm leaning towards majoring in Health Sciences (emphasis on life sciences) with a minor in MBB. However, i have been hearing a lot about how a major in Health Science is a bad idea. I don't understand why it is a bad idea. And if it is a bad idea then what is a better major?
Any tips?

It really depends on what you want to do after the degree. Do you want to go into public health or related field? Do you want to do lab research? Do you want to go to med school?
Best advice: talk to your TAs (from HSCI, MBB and other sciences) and ask them about their graduate work and if a health science degree is the way to go for your career goals. And of course ask your HSCI advisor - that's what their job is :)
Good luck!
