[quote=Anonymous]Last night I attended an awards dinner for the top 5% of high school seniors at a large public in a DC suburb. Of the thirty top students, roughly 70% said they were planning to major in Engineering, Biology, Premed or some other science or technology. There was one maybe music major, a couple of econ/public policy types, one foreign language major and one political science major. I was really struck by how different the world seems to be from when I went to college. Of course, I do realize some of these kids will start off intending STEM and switch to something else, but it is still clear where kids feel the jobs are. Is this the inevitable trend, and what do the humanities and social science types do for a living (besides the obvious -- law school :cry: )?? Care to discuss?[/quote]
