Well, I think it depends on the situation you are in as life is dynamic, not static. The example you gave is so changeable although there are some similarities. If you decided to be a doctor but after studying for 2 years, your chemistry does not make any sense, it does not mean you should give up your will to be a doctor. This means you should change the way you study. In this case, the Sunk-cost fallacy is something that can help but people should think differently rather than like the fallacy mentioned above. If you always change your decisions and throw a towel when you think, it is impossible for you. Gradually you would be losing your assertiveness which is important to be successful. So my suggestion is different to some degree: The first thing first is that chose your major considering all aspects: your talent, your interest, and income as well and after that do not let other things disturb your way. Disturb everything that drug on you, such as people's opinions and their gossip about you, expert critics are an exception

Nice point of view, true for some cases.
I think not some but most times
