[quote=Anonymous]I majored in Government (not exactly "easy," but not hard science, either) and work in IT. Outside of a few areas (mostly science and engineering), one's undergraduate major doesn't have a great impact on one's career choices. I studied Government because I enjoyed it, but I hate politics and would never have considered a career in the field. That said, we need to make a distinction between majoring in something because one genuinely enjoys the subject matter and doing so because the subject is "easy." In the former case, I would say not to interfere. In the latter case, there is a problem that needs to be addressed Things may be different for non-selective colleges, but a degree in anything from a decent school should at least show that one was smart enough to get into that college and also has writing and reasoning ability.[/quote]
