[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a communications executive, and I hire a wide range of majors; there are English and comms majors, but also folks with degrees in theater, religious studies, computer science, biology. I look for passion, curiosity, and maturity. Most importantly, I look for candidates who have thought about why they want the job they’re applying for and can explain how their experience has prepared them for it.

So here’s my advice: Your daughter should pick her major based on what interests her. She’s most likely to find success in college, career, and life if she’s highly engaged. She’ll make herself attractive to future employers is with a strong academic record and the ability to translate her college work to her career aspirations—ideally with some enthusiasm. If she feels the need, she can complement her major with internships, activities, and volunteer gigs that relate to her professional aspirations. [/quote]

Excellent advice. I'm the head of an executive search firm.[/quote]
