hmm, ok.
I think the important thing about picking a degree is your interest, and what sort of jobs you'd like to have. Is it research or would you like to do application science? Do you like to interact with people or do you like to work in a lab/office? Have some form of idea, and then look up the possible jobs that you'd like on google. While you're at it also formulate a plan B.
Are you in your first year? How many courses have you taken? Many people realize their "true interests" after actually doing a few courses. I went in wanting to do neuro but didn't like the psych part of the degree and switched to toxicology, which I really love. I take neuro courses on the side, but I avoid psych courses after 1 course, just wasn't my thing. If you haven't already finished your first year, be adventurous, try courses from different departments that interesting, you'd be surprised at how much you really like something you've never considered before.
Oh and if you're early in your undergrad career, enrol in a language course and by the time you graduate you'd be more or less fluent
. I wish someone told me that when I started.
