Oh! Oh! Oh! I got the answer to this one… practice your skills at making coffee or fast food sandwiches. If you are very lucky, you may also need the skills of filling out unemployment forms. You may want to team up with some Basketweaving majors for more ideas. :)

Well, perhaps M’s Mom has better advice, such as the idea about learning Arabic. Good luck and remember you’ll need to be very proactive to convert such a specific training into fulltime employment in the field.

Your best bet is to talk to professors and professionals already in that field. They will have a better idea of what you need to do to prepare for the major as well as advice (or warnings) on the practical viability of your chosen major.
