Is it normal to choose my college major for this reasoning?

I took Criminal Justice classes through community college while in High School. It was so easy and I was good at it. Just did my readings and I aced all of my tests. When I started going to college in a different state, I was undecided on my major, and being that I had 6 or so classes in Criminal Justice, they set it in Criminal Justice.

So I have been lamenting over my major ever since. My Math skills are so-so, but my reading comprehension skills (anything involving reading, language processing, etc.) are fantastic and well above average. There are many majors that I can choose that I would be good at, and I have done well in many of those various classes, but I've been lamenting the choice because I was afraid I'd hate the Criminal Justice field.

Then I came to a realization. CJ classes were easy because I was good at them, and if I am doing a job that I am good at and making better money than I am now, it's worth taking the risk of my hating it and I'll likely be happy in a job I am good at anyway. I already have experience in the field and I'm doing well. Is this solid reasoning to keep my major and work towards the degree?

By the way, I plan on getting a Masters but I would settle for a Bachelors on the off chance that a CJ degree becomes useless and I'd have no hope of repaying the student loans for graduate school.

    Woah to ye oh college student. You have yet to see that the real world cares not what college you went to (unless its Harvard, etc..) or what your major is. It cares just how much ass you are willing to kiss and how often you are willing to do the kissing.
