[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very few kids live in the DCUM bubble and can afford to major in something frivolous knowing that their school’s prestige and parental connections will ensure they do well anyway. Most kids are forced to be practical.[/quote] This. My daughter is graduating with her Master of Accounting. Not a fancy major, but she looked at her options and decided that she would have a decent paying job with right out of school and she could see a career pathway. She interned at a big 4 and will be full-time after graduation. So, you're correct, some kids look at college as a means to start a career. However, in undergrad she did complete the honors college program, so she got a good exposure to the classics - which she enjoyed. And her school has a 60-credit core curriculum so she's not pointy, but when selecting a major, her job prospects carried a lot of weight. [/quote]
