[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, why don't you want to discuss the practical aspects of trying to find a job as a Religion or Jewish studies major? If you refuse to discuss that, it kind of seems like all you want is to game the system by asking for something low-interest, and then changing to a minor afterward. Colleges hate that.

I think Religion studies are wonderful, but I'd be a little concerned about employability. I know someone is spamming the thread with how their Jewish Studies minor helped them a lot and they became a big shot lawyer afterward, but they're bragging while missing the point that they did not actually MAJOR in Jewish Studies.

Truthfully, disagree. This is a competitive game. Do everything you can in your power to help your kid understand the rules.
The strategic positioning post is accurate. It works. I have evidence with my older kids who did this (both at T20).

Schools expect kids to change their majors. They just want passion. If you have a "story" about your passion, that's what they care about. And better if the passion is an unpopular or undersubscribed one.
Why do you think all the top NY privates list majors like: Classics, French literature, Creative Writing, Women's Studies, Studio Art, Anthropology, Medieval Studies?
They know something you don't know.
