parents want a "practical major"

<p>I don’t know why parents want to push their kids into a practical major, because if there are any students like me, they will fret about picking out their major anyway.
I’ve wanted to be a graphic designer for about two or three years now. I had to pick my classes for fall semester this week, and was completely lost. If I major in an art, so much of my time will be spent on that that I will have to put aside my love of math (of all things :stuck_out_tongue: ). I always wanted a double major in math and art, but it graphic design is so classes packed because of the art and computer components. Two other girls were suppose to major in graphic design, but changed their minds within that day at college. Now I’m wondering how practical it will be for me to major in graphic design.
<em>Sigh</em> Such is college life.</p>
