[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Its not college that will make me disappointed. It is the major. I am an Asian-American parent of students who have gone through MCPS magnet programs. I would be satisfied with them beginning a STEM major in a community college and transferring to a state college, rather than a women's studies major from Harvard.

My kids need to have skills that will get them a job in the global market with a high barrier to entry. They are not Trust Fund babies."

As someone else said, you might want to consider the plan and not just the major.

A women's studies major from Harvard, with maybe a secondary field of government, for students that want to go to Law School is a fine plan.

My DD, a Blair SMAC grad, would tell you that a SMAC grad that can write English will get paid much more than one that can only write code.[/quote]
DP - Your DD may be a Blair SMAC grad but that doesn't mean she knows well enough to issue such a blanket statement.  As for you, you either don't know what STEM stands for (it is much more than writing only code!) or so blinded by your negative feelings about Asian-Americans that you think all they do is only write code and don't know how to write English.
