[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t think of a more BS job than “consulting”

My good friend (who happens to be an ex, but that is beside the point) majored in anthropology. He was also on scholarship at one of those T30s that doesn’t give much merit money. He could have majored in anything. He went to law school afterward and has done very well for himself.

His best friend (also a friend of mine) majored in philosophy and was into theater. He also went to law school and is now a corporate lawyer.

So you can take a leap with that “what a waste” nonsense.

I have one more good one. One of my sorority sisters was a physics major in undergrad. She then majored in EE in grad school. Not completely done, she decided on more school to become a patent lawyer.[/quote]

Uh huh. Cool story, sis. Everyone has an anecdote that one person they once knew who majored in something stupid and then went on to great things. The only better story than that is "Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard and is now a gazillionaire". All of which definitely proves that majoring in anthropology or philosophy - or better yet, getting into an Ivy and then dropping out - is a [i]totally excellent life plan[/i] that any bright student can follow because it is bound to lead to great wealth in corporate law or the IT world.[/quote]
