Should I change my major?
I'm a 1st semester sophomore in college. I'm currently a Government and World Affairs major, but I no longer think I will be able to get a job in that field. There are too many people in my major and we're all competing over the same jobs which there are realistically, very few of in America.
I'm thinking about changing my major to International Business with a minor or double major in Cyber Security.
Does this sound like a good choice?

Cyber security is today's hot button. From what I am reading and understanding of what the industry is looking for are people that are actually hackers themselves. People that can find their way into systems then find a way to block that access.
Are your computer skills that good? If not having a degree in the administrative or code writing side of Cyber Security may not be the direction to go. I would suggest that before you make such a drastic change you spend your summer break talking to Cyber Security Companies and asking what they require and what they are looking for in a college graduate with a degree in Cyber security; then decide.
With the world getting smaller every day a degree in International Business is a good choice and may marry very well with Cyber security. Do your do diligence on the Cyber security; make sure you are what they are looking for. Make sure the curriculum at your school offers the course you will need to qualify for what employers are looking for.
Take the time to research properly and the outcome will be what you need to do. It is your future and with proper planning and research you will get the job you want and be happy with. As the saying goes "If you’re happy with your job you will never work a day in your life."
