Default Re: Please tell me about these 3 majors

[ QUOTE ]
i still think that people put too much emphasis on an actual major as opposed to the most important factors in getting jobs: networking, connections, your personability and your previous work experience. A particular major (imo) is only paramount if you really, really want to work in a particular industry. just my two cents.

Why would you choose a major and go into a line of work that has nothing to do with it?

IMO what really matters in getting a job is how well you interview. The best way to get an interview is by having something on your resume that stands out from the rest. Those majors don't do that alone and there is a reason why no one in the working world (besides PR/advertising) doesn't take those majors seriously. They are easy and usually populated w/ kids who don't know what they want to do. Not exactly the cream of the crop for potential employers.

Try sifting through resumes once and you'll know what I'm talking about.
