[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if your objective is to see whether the majors of parents and their current occupations offer any sort of guidance as to the prospects for majors children choose, there is a fundamental flaw in your approach. [b]Basically, with the changing job environment, certain majors that may have been viable in terms of job prospects in years gone by may have limited prospects today.[/b][/quote] I'm guessing OP, and most other posters, know this. My major: American Studies DH's major: Government we're both lawyers 1 kid graduated from college, and majored in applied math; 2nd kid currently in college, majoring in engineering; 3rd kid is a HS senior, applying to engineering programs My response when someone tells me his/her kid is majoring in English is always "That's great! You know, there are plenty of jobs out there for English majors who have the right skills.", and I really believe this, but I'm sure I sound like a total hypocrite. [/quote]
