<p>What if you enter college “undeclared major”? Then will your parents “back off” and let you do the core classes and decide where your strengths are?</p>
<p>With so much money on the line these days (are your parents paying?), it doesn’t surprise me that more parents are “getting involved” with trying to influence their child’s major; No one wants to spend thousands only to have their child graduate with a degree in basket weaving. (No offense meant, but I wonder what “paying parents” must think when their kids graduate with degrees in “women’s studies” or other majors with questionable job market skills.)</p>
