[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our child wants to major in psychology or anthropology. She is a humanities or social sciences kid. Is a practical major important? She doesn't have any interest in business, econ., engineering, hard sciences.[/quote] Ask her to focus on her Ikigai.. something at the intersection of what she loves, is good at, and where she'll get paid enough to make a living. For example, if she loves psychology and loves to work with kids, she could focus on psychological counseling as a future career option. I know a couple of non-psychologists, one an ex-teacher and another an ex-IT employee, that charge over $120/hr counseling high school kids and they have enough work for more than 40 hours a week.[/quote]
