[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I see these lists and posts it makes me realize that most people have very limited imaginations. Many people do not work in their degree field, so why is one’s major so important? Also, when you graduate from college, you are 22 and have lots of life ahead of you. Who cares about your first job? If you have any intelligence at all, you would have to be bonkers to believe that your life is ruined because you pursued an English degree and now are 22. Even people who pursue more practical degrees like economics, get MBAs and law degrees after undergraduate school. I think an English major could do the same. [/quote]

Agree!  Your career can be a winding path.  It does not have to be a straight line slog through college, grad school and the same desk for 40 years.  The interesting people have done many things so they bring a unique perspective to their workplace.

I hire people and I’m always interested in different experiences and how that shapes a candidate.

Of course, I am one of the posters [b]who firmly believes college is not trade school[/b] and I don’t worship the T20 schools.  I’m a flexible enough person to see that talent comes in many shapes and sizes.[/quote]

College IS trade school for all but the 1%. [/quote]

Disagree so maybe we will need to agree to disagree.[/quote]
