[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry in advance!
When my husband and I applied years and years ago to small colleges in the boston area we did NOT declare a major. Colleges weren't admitting by major, correct?

You declared a major maybe around sophomore year if you had your sh!te together. If you did not, you finally took a communications major and somehow cobbled together a diploma, maybe in 5 years, but with plenty of daddy's money.

Now kids apply into a major? And have to stay in that major immediately from fresh year?

thank you in advance, seriously.[/quote]
If job security is a top priority, steering your child towards a major in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) can be a smart choice, especially if they're interested in technology or technical fields. These majors often lead directly to well-paying and in-demand careers. While humanities provide valuable skills, they don't always offer a clear path to employment like STEM fields do.

Encouraging your child to pursue a degree in a practical field that aligns with current job markets, like technology or engineering, can significantly increase their chances of landing a stable job after graduation. Additionally, gaining hands-on experience through internships and co-op programs while studying can be a huge advantage in the tech industry.[/quote]
