[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted this in another thread, but the best they you can do for your DC is help them find the right school for them. That might mean a huge university, or a teeny tiny "no name" liberal arts school. All students should attend a place where they will thrive as a person and a student. I know everyone is concerned about future earning or what imaginary future employers might think about your DC's undergrad school, but, please, STOP. Worry about finding an environment where your DC will be happy and excel. If your DC loves English and history, why no encourage them to pursue that (and, yes, they'll probably change majors at least once. Oh to be 19 again!). There's lots that can be done with those interests....teaching. PoliSci. Government. Regardless, English and history will teach them all sorts of transferable skills. I wish more students were English/writing majors (history majors have to do a lot of writing, too); then I wouldn't have to suffer through all the horrible cover letters and writing sample whenever I have to fill a position.[/quote] Well said![/quote]
