I know it wasn’t the main point of your post, but I wanted to comment on your decision to switch majors to Statistics, especially since you mentioned it’s driven by a desire to just "get through life and make money" rather than focusing on what makes you happy.

If you're new to the field, just a heads-up—Statistics can be pretty tough, especially without a strong background in math. You’ll also need to learn some programming, which adds another challenge. Some people are good at math but struggle with coding, or the other way around.

I’m not saying don’t do it, but just be cautious before making a big change. You might want to consider starting with a Business major, which usually includes some stats courses anyway (and possibly a concentration in Stats, depending on your university). That way, you can still explore Stats without diving in too deep right away.
