Waiting to choose a major?

Interesting piece. The basic argument appears to be that the earlier you choose a major, the more likely you are to make a mistake and choose something that doesn't really fit who you are. One conclusion might be that educational institutions should try to delay that choice as long as possible and also help students figure out who they are and what their life goals are as soon as possible.
