[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love all of the assumption of strategy here. My kid likes math, is really good at it, isn’t interested in CS or engineering, and doesn’t know exactly what he wants to do professionally. So he plans to major in math.

I decided on my majors (including English, which was then the most popular major at my large state university—how the times have changed!) the same way. Subjects that interested me, that I had an affinity for, and that I figured I could apply to whatever career I pursued.

For every kid choosing math strategically I’m guessing there’s at least one like my kid who just likes math.[/quote]

Mine is the same. She wasn't totally sure about majoring, but it seemed like a nice balance to her arts interests, and she is doing well in both areas. With math, it's been difficult to connect it to tangible intern opps, since she does not do much comp sci, but her current opp was the result of math and arts. I think they liked her creativity and communication skills in conjunction with analytic.[/quote]
