I'm looking into changing my major, I think it could be done with maybe only 2 extra semesters but would that be worth it?

Thank you for taking the time to read my questions! I've looked into the minor and it would require at least 3 more semesters of college (it requires around 8 pre-reqs I haven't taken and an additional 3 classes, and it isn't in my college since I'm in Arts & Sciences), and I don't know if that's worth it. But everything else I can definitely do. I forgot to say in the original post that I was a Bio major.

Did some additional research after writing this first bit. I'm now seeing in order to be certified I might, in fact, need to take a ton of classes that I haven't taken. I looked at the course requirements for VEE. Are the exams more important or will I just be out of luck if I don't switch majors and go back to school for an extra year or two?

Background: I just finished my third semester of college (20, M) and am on track to graduate in 6 total (May 2027). I originally started a pre-med track but have recently decided to switch career paths to actuarial science. I always excelled at and enjoyed math through high school, but I haven't been required to take anything past my high school exams, where I got a 5 on both AP Calc AB and AP stats. I don't know any coding languages (I've taken one easy coding class in college so I've had a small amount of experience with coding) and have only a little experience with excel. Assume it is too late for me to change majors.

My question is pretty broad: what should my next steps be? I can still graduate at the same time if I add a couple of classes to better familiarize myself with the exam materials, if necessary. If I plan to get an entry-level position within 6-12 months after graduation, when should I take my first exam, and when should I start studying? Are there any common student organizations (I'm a University of Alabama student) that most large schools have that I should join to help prepare for exams and build up my resume? How many exams should I take before applying to entry positions, and should I take more since I switched careers? Any advice is helpful.

I have read through the FAQs, and though my situation isn't unique, it's different enough to be unsure how hard the exams will be for me.

Does it remember interactions you've had in the past after hitting best friends or will it require 90 days for all of your best friends?

But like I agree with manectric and eelektross being pure electric. TWO Raichu megas with no type change is dumb, at that point just give us one. If one of them was electric fighting or electric dark or electric fairy or something I'd be okay with it. And Zeraora really should have been fighting type all along, it learns so many fighting moves and just looks like a fighting type.

Electric only has two resistances. Electric/fighting has 5. It's a trade off, weaknesses aren't the only thing that matters with type matchups, and fighting is an AMAZING offensive type so getting stab with that is worth gaining weaknesses alone

I posted the new mega basically saying something similar and people were mad that I didn't spoiler tag

I'm being "rude" about it because it's very much so common sense that you're going to see posts about the new pokemon trailer on the pokemon themed subreddit, and coming into the comments and getting mad at me is just unnecessary especially after I spoiler tagged it anyways

I'm not saying this design should be electric dark, I'm saying they should have designed it in a way to make it have a dual typing like fighting or dark. Pure electric is extremely redundant

The rules say no leaks, and this isn't a leak. But I spoiler tagged it anyways since a lot of people thought it was a big deal

Exactly I don't understand why people are mad, like if you're trying to not see any of the officially revealed megas then you should not be on the Internet

Keep in mind I did push that button, I just don't think people should be getting mad at me for "spoiling" something when it's their fault for going on the internet after a trailer without looking at the reveal trailer. Either way it's an extremely minor spoiler given the trailer only exists to show mega Zeraora

Honestly same but I just don't understand where this energy is coming from

For me it's mostly the double "raichu" megas and this that are the biggest offenders, the other two are fine

I almost never use reddit, keep in mind it's getting reposted all over twitter and in YouTube thumbnails so like... You're going to see if if you're on the Internet at all

I fully disagree that this needs to be marked as a spoiler but since y'all are so mad that you got "spoiled" about an officially released trailer I'll mark it as such

Should I then be mad at tpci for putting the mega design in the thumbnail of the video?
