[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why or why not? While a noteworthy pursuit, I would be concerned about career prospects unless he/she wanted to go to law school.[/quote] Because that's what parents are for, not for imposing their will. You give advice and help explore options and then let them make their decision.[/quote] Yup! You help them see the path. So Sure major in English Lit and don't go to law school. Just be aware of what career paths you can take. And what the average pay for first 5 years is, etc. Know you have to work a bit harder than A STEM major to find a job---your internships and research will be important. You will have to market yourself a bit more. And decide If there is a minor or some courses that will be strategic to making you more marketable and take those. Then you let your kid make their decision. Life is not all about making more money. But you need to make enough to support your desired lifestyle. [/quote]
