<p>In another topic I mentioned importance of GPA for first job for engineers.
UT Austin vs. Texas Tech University Engineering
And engineering is one of the most employable majors. </p>
<p>Majors like political science or anthropology are not very employable, especially in the current economy. And especially with GPA 2.1.
Unless you have parents or other relatives who are already saving a spot in a family business.</p>

<p>Marines has always been competitive because they only want the very best. That Navy and the Airforce are competitive make sense, since they have very low death rates. I too have an english major friend who turned to the military for aid to pay loans. Luckily for him he left after his freshman year. It’s sad how college hurts kids more than help them. darn those greedy uni administers that charge so much for worthless degrees!</p>
