<p>Moral of the story: major in something good</p>
<p>^if you consider success and happiness related only to your salary size, then yes, major in something “good.”</p>
<p>^ if you consider success and happiness having your dad paying your loans, then yes, major in something “completely useless”</p>
<p>Not everyone has the privilege to major in anything they want and just be happy. Majoring in something because you know it makes money isn’t always because the person is greedy.</p>
<p>You only get one chance at life.</p>
<p>You have your entire life to pay off student loans. </p>
<p>Might as well enjoy it while it lasts!</p>
<p>Yeah, I hope to enjoy the rest of my life even if it means suffering a couple hours of boring lectures… :S I really hope I don’t need the rest of my life for student loans. </p>
<p>I’m not greedy by any means. I just wanna live a nice decent life</p>
<p>For people who come out with useless degrees, why bother? Even without college, you can just drop in on classes whenever you want, if learning is truly your objective. And if your objective is to have fun, why go to college at all?</p>
<p>But in the end, we’re all searching for a degree. And we want that degree to get a better job. Considering how few major requirements there really are coupled with the wide array of decent majors out there and the breadth requirements, I don’t see how you can have the best of both worlds.</p>
<p>I don’t know about you but I don’t know anyone that’s happy without money, barring those bizarre people who don’t have to pay taxes. I mean, can you even live a “decent” life without money? I guess you could live a cramped life with a small salary, but it’s certainly not comfortable.</p>
<p>GENERALLY, if you have no interest in what you study, you most likely won’t be a good professional in whatever subsequent field you choose to work in. If you aren’t “good” at what you do, you GENERALLY won’t make too much bank.</p>
<p>Bah humbug, dawgs.</p>
<p>There are plenty of people who hate what they study and become good professionals. For proof, ask students milling around the MCB buildings if they love or hate what they study.</p>
<p>On the flip side, there are also plenty of people who love what they study and don’t become good professionals. For proof, ask anyone during a protest rally at Sproul.</p>
<p>This thread is an excellent demonstration of the hamster wheel-meaninglessness of industrial capitalism.</p>
