<p>This brings up the question of how our students make these choices. I wish it were easier to read the future trends. (Although I don’t think making career choices just on the basis of compensation/security is very inspiring.) </p>
<p>Most of us parents of college students now who grew up in the US (and similar - i.e., not the developing world) could follow a passion and it would likely lead to a good career. It just doesn’t seem like a world of infinite possibilities anymore. </p>
<p>Liberal arts education seemed like the way to go when I was in college, but now takes on the tint of frivolousness. I never thought I would think this way.</p>
<p>I guess talking with current professionals in the field is the best method of understanding trends of a particular sector, but I’m curious if anyone has other ideas? (Without having to read business magazines 
.) </p>
<p>It must seem like a hazy mess for many college students to wade through and try to come up with a career choice and a major that leads to it.</p>
