[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents really encouraged me to major in science. I tried. I'm just really, really average in science. No way was I ever going to make a name for myself doing something I was so mediocre at. I'm glad I didn't listen.[/quote] Wrong attitude. Not everyone is going to be famous (make a name for himself). Most people are average and will spend their careers as worker bees. Plenty of people in my company have science / engineering degrees from no-name universities, and they have perfectly satisfying, well-paying jobs even though they never rose into top management.[/quote] It was the right attitude for me. I wasn't interested in a stable job that I wasn't very good at. I wanted to be really good at something. For me, that was never going to be science.[/quote]
