[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS IS AN English major.  Essentially unemployed for 3+ years now.  I wish I had been more involved in steering him away from English as a major. [/quote]

His unemployment has nothing to do with his major, and everything to do with not having thought about or knowing what his goals were during college.  THAT'S where you should have been more involved.[/quote]

It has everything to do with his major.[/quote]

Not for 3 years+ (see original post above…). I hate to say it, but anyone who has not gotten a job for 3 years after graduating college has larger problems than simply the choice of major…if nothing else I would have thought that he would have considered returning to school to further his studies. That's a really long time to not be doing anything worthwhile and, frankly, at this point I would think his only hope in getting a decent job would be to return to school. I'm not sure many companies would want to hire someone who hasn't done anything for 3+ years…Good luck to your DS in getting it all straight![/quote]
