Does what you major = will be doing for life?

<p>Hi there is something about college I don't understand. Is it true it doesn't really matter what you major in? I know someone who had a Bachelor's in African Studies and got a job in Computer Networks for the military. How is it even possible?</p>

<p>Also for grad school, what if one is pursued something in undergrad go to grad for something in a completely different field. For instance, can a religion major go to grad for Computer engineeering? How?</p>

<p>I know someone who majored in biology and got a PhD in psychology.</p>

<p>i know someone who majored in english and is a doctor</p>

<p>Can I have this thread posted in the "other majors" forum please?</p>
