[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something like Environmental science will get him a second look by the peace corps. They have a bunch of liberal arts applicants when what they need is engineers (probably not your kid) and kids with useful science degrees (could be your kid) [/quote] OP here. This is great advice! Any other non science degrees?[/quote] No idea. I got this from NPR the other day. A peace corps executive was on talking about the challenges they were facing. They talked specifically about having volumes of applications from kids generalist majors (that was her term, but the examples she gave here history and english so she was talking about liberal arts) when they were desperate for engineers and kids with science backgrounds (environmental science was the example she gave) [/quote] Public health might be another option to consider. Food-related majors, too: logistics and supply chains, statistics, agriculture, etc. [/quote]
