[quote=Anonymous]I'd argue that, in this day and age, the major is hardly important at all. What's important is the skills/capabilities you learn, regardless of major. Critical thinking, written & oral communication, problem solving, analytical reasoning, personal & social responsibility, etc. Employers want people who can apply their knowledge. Major in whatever you want - but pursue good internships, research projects, do lots of writing, participate in service-learning opportunities, etc. The research on the workplace is striking - people are being educated & trained left and right for jobs that will not exist in 5 years. Adaptability is the number one thing that college graduates need. [/quote]
