Re: Help a college student with \'major\' choice
if you are just looking at majors there are two ways to go about getting a good job.
A: econ / math /engineering guaranteed if you have a decent GPA you can get a good paying job out of school.
B: phil / lib art major = easier grades (at most schools) so you can play the GPA game to have a higher GPA on your resume which will give you more versatility when interviewing later on because (atleast for recruiting through your carreer center at the uni) higher GPA is all they have to go on most college students.
if you can do a choice A with great GPA (3.5+) then you can start getting into the interviews of the easy jobs that pay well. for poker players if you can get a job as a day trader it goes almost hand in hand. if you really boil it down poker is watching numbers change and sensing the table's emotion of the moment to calculate risk- that's the same thing as most day traders on the stock market except they make a hell of a lot more money if they are good.
