<p>OMG - That article is EXACTLY what I've been saying to my son: You don't have to know exactly where you're going, but do things that keep as many options open to you as possible. Try not to make decisions that close doors to you in the future. For example, why would anyone going into a film program be taking AP Calc and AP Physics in his/her senior year in high school? TO KEEP FUTURE OPTIONS OPEN! My son has changed his proposed major several times in high school, and two of the options would have involved a lot of math. If he gets into the program he wants (now) and decides later that he wants to revert back to physics or computer science, HE CAN DO THAT!!</p>
<p>Sorry for the yelling (CAPS), but I couldn't believe how much that article captured my own thinking. Hey, all CCers: read this!</p>
