[quote=Anonymous]I have a son approaching college.  He does well in all subjects, but has to work harder for the math and science grades and  always scores much  better in verbal/reading/writing on standardized tests.  He enjoys history and government the most.  What should a kid like this be thinking about for college?   Should son just go for what he loves, like DH and I did years ago, and expect it will all work out?  (DH and I both planned academic careers but ended up in law and business and are very happy with our choices). Get a boring business degree to be safe?  DH thinks undergrad business degrees are worthless, but they are so common now.  What about double majoring or doing a major/minor to keep options open?  Son is also thinking about taking the pre-med prerequisites to keep that option open, but his heart is not in the sciences.  And he has zero interest in becoming an engineer.  Love to hear from parents with similar kids about their plans or recent post-grad experiences.[/quote]
