[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can understand why kids who don't have that financial cushion feel pressured to choose a major that leads to more lucrative career paths right out of college. DH and I were both humanities/social science majors and we never pushed STEM on our children. DD is a sophomore in college and is about to declare biology but is also looking into economics as well although she'd rather be studying biology + classics, languages, and history. She's just worried because she doesn't have plans to go to law school. How do we support her and reassure her that she will be fine? [/quote] For non-STEM & non “vocational” majors, the prestige of the school matters more.[/quote] Yeah, she was always considering a STEM and/or quantitative social science since her main options were the in-state school or a LAC with merit. She ended up at the LAC. [/quote]
