life: what's your major? :|

i was up at about 3 am reading The New York times online and i saw this article "Making College 'Relevant.'" i thought it was pretty interesting because i've been asked an infinite amount of times what my major is, and my response is always "nothing, yet." i've always thought too much emphasis was put on college students and what their majors are, and not for the reasons it should be, either. this graf from the article almost explains my point:

"In 1971, 37 percent responded that it was essential or very important to be “very well-off financially,” while 73 percent said the same about “developing a meaningful philosophy of life.” In 2009, the values were nearly reversed: 78 percent identified wealth as a goal, while 48 percent were after a meaningful philosophy."

over time, morals have obviously changed (statistics are not needed to prove that). but as far as college is concerned, choosing a major is now more based on how much money one will make at a job after college, and not on finding oneself and what they love to do.

as for me, i have an idea of what i want to do. it's a lot (since i'm trying to change the world and all), but as i have always said, I GOT THIS. when i do declare my major, it won't be for future money, or what is "right." but it'll be something that will assist me in my endeavors to change the world and something that i will enjoy.
