<p>Isn’t all undergrad eductation all pointless anyway? I mean, it’s all more intellectual than practical. (phil, english, pol sci, psyc, sociology, history, race/gender, linguistics, math, physics… yes, even econ). How many people actually use these courses in their career, outside of teaching or ‘academic research’? Granted, engineering majors are useful for engineers. But, engineers comprise a very small part of our population.</p>
<p>I think a lot of people take their ‘major’ too seriously, because they think it defines them as a person or something. And no one wants to tell them its all mental masturbation.</p>
<p>Isn’t psych like the most common major for most unis? And how many pyschiatrists/ psychologists are there? Not many I presume, one because its a dying field being replaced by drugs and two because no one really wanted to be one of those anyway. If you really KNOW what you want to do in your life, your major is not going to stop you.</p>
