[quote=Anonymous]It’s a bad idea to major in something you aren’t that passionate about just because that’s where the jobs seem to be at. Look what happened to CS! A lot can change in 4 years, so make sure your kid gets a well rounded education and learns how to learn, not just learn specific skills. Agree with PP that avoiding loans is of the utmost importance. There are no guarantees of any degree “paying off” in specific monetary terms and everyone needs to understand that going in. There is value in going to college even if you end up working in a completely different field than you majored in, as long as you stay away from debt. We will be paying a lot for DS to attend a SLAC. I am fully prepared for the possibility that he may not end up with a traditional white collar job, and I am OK with that. [/quote]
