I agree with Thumper1. Don’t think just of one job or a specific career line when choosing colleges. Think more in terms of skill-sets. The job MARKET EVOLVES, and the marketability and remuneration for skills also changes. But having the general credential of a college degree, and major, is still critical.
My own kids got excellent undergraduate educations, but one of them has had several career switches since graduation – all of which, however, draw on his CORE SKILLS AND INTERESTS (including applied math and statistics). He could have gone to law school, or earned a PhD, or earned an MBA. Instead he created his own career and has done well (with just a BA degree in economics).
The other kid has gone from BFA (industrial design) to MBA (as well as an MS in sustainable systems), and her career has ranged from assisting in the design of tableware to advocating (and writing) for ecological design, to administering a program that incubates startups. She also teaches graduate courses on sustainable design as an adjunct in art schools.
