Nobody cares about your college major.
Majoring in theatre arts or philosophy won’t keep you from a successful career. It’s about how you set goals and hustle.
Many years ago, while I was still living in New Mexico, I kept getting asked to complete a survey for some branch of the US government, probably the Department of Education.
The survey was pretty simple. They wanted to know my college major and what I was doing now. They may have had other questions about age and income.
I refused. They persisted. They had chosen a small percentage and every answer counted.
They even called me for a follow-up. They said they were trying to see how a choice of college major affected success.
The whole idea was bogus.
For one thing, college majors change. When I was an undergraduate, my school didn’t have a major in film studies. They certainly didn’t have majors like women’s studies.
Even if a major existed, it might not have been viewed as realistic.
Not too long ago, your choice of major could be influenced by your gender. Women weren’t welcome in engineering courses.
