We were discussing college majors at work recently. Most people have degress and are working in fields unrelated. In my office we have an Accounting degree, Criminal Justice Bachelor, and Engineering Associate degree, my Fine Art degree, and a retired nun who was a teacher and Principal during her sisterhood career. We all now sell furniture for a living (or as my boss says, "sling sofas" )

I would say that in today's job market, the smart student would choose a major that has broad job options, with skills that are eaily transferrable from one career to another. Biology can be used in many fields. The more specific the major, the more difficult it'll be finding a job.

Don't stress yourself out on jobs. We all have ways of finding ourselves in jobs we love --- and if we happen to hate our jobs but keep it because of the money it brings in, we find hobbies that compensate for the weekly drudgery. I happen to LOVE my job. If you asked me in college if I'd be happy selling sofas, I'd have laughed at you. I almost didn't apply to my job because it was "beneath me" -- thank God my mom talking me into applying! You never know where life will take you. and in this job market, even the most seasoned worker has no clue what they want to do for the rest of their life.
