<p>there was a passing comment back in the thread about studies and the fact that they need to have there eyes open as to what exists after the degree. I agree with this no matter your view on employability </p>
<p>I fall more on the 'practical side a 7/8 .. I appreicate ( I think) the arts and other 'liberal arts' degrees</p>
<p>With that the key I think is that one understands that if you major in for example aerospace engineering or petroleum engineering because it is 'hot' at a particular time that down the road it might cool off --even before you get out of school</p>
<p>And likewise that if you major in English and are an accomplished writer know that many opportunities may exist but you ahe to use your ( well developed) creativity to find the good spot to work</p>
