[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don't see how it makes sense to tell a humanities-type person to major in engineering just because it's more "practical." People tend not to be very successful when they choose fields they aren't passionate about, even if they are capable of "doing the work." And if you are truly passionate about literature, or philosophy, or music, chances are you'll find a niche (probably in teaching) where your job satisfaction will be much higher than it would be in a job to which you are not well-suited. [/quote] I agree completely with this. I'm in a technical field, and the people who got degrees (assuming they actually got them) but aren't interested in the material aren't very happy and they don't do particularly well. I'd suggest finding a fields that has reasonable or better prospects that they're really jazzed about.[/quote]
