Fwiw, there was not enough room in my curriculum for any elective courses, thanks to some questionable practices by Clemson (calling 5 year programs 4-year so as to not intimidate parents).  What electives I did have room for I got because I had AP credits that got me out of a few of the General requirements.  Some of the more intensive majors just dont really give you much freedom in terms of actual classtime to invest.  Ive known since I was knee high that Engineering was the Path for me, so transferring majors wasnt much of a concern, but thats far from normal Im sure.  regardless, even with that sort of situation you will never have more free time than College, until well after Retirement.  So in addition to electives, dont get so focused on the classes that you cant take advantage of the extra-curricular things around.  There were several clubs and activities (including a Skydiving Club!) that I could have been a part of but convinced myself I didnt have time for.  Had plenty of time for anime and DnD apparently :P

Yeah, i was originally in a 4 year engi program, for aeronautical engineering. Then i picked up Mechanical as well, with an extra year of classes. I figured there are plenty of 5 year engineering paths anyway, and hey, i am getting 2 degrees from it. There have been time i list off what a generic week in the life of me is like during the school year to friends back home and gotten stared at like i was crazy, and its funny because i cant imagine it any other way.
If i hadnt done engineering i may have gone history, but didnt do that becasue i didnt think it was good career path wise, or more likely epidemiology. particularly finding the roots of diseases and such... becasue that woulda been history with a layer of bio and some chem on top, lol.

Clearly the only advice Jim needs is to keep on keeping on. Or just do it. Or some other myriad of annoyingly vague things that accumulate to him being told not to stop.

nice. And the right computer degree will be in high demand. I managed to get out of takin g an english course in college. I took AP english, and the school sent me a letter saying i got those credits, and asking which english class i wanted to be placed in. I didnt answer so i wasnt put into one.

Thank you kindly. I know, but it is a bit of a past time to mock liberal arts majors.... at least the ones who you are close enough to that they know it is just a joke.

Belated congrats wat. Although, i feel a little compelled to make fun of an art degree, (in a playful way, not serious) just because i am in engineering. we be opposites.
