<p>Thanks Ucbalumnus, son is actually in a STEM high school now and is looking forward to geology, environmental science and calculus in college (HS calculus teacher’s teaching methods do not match his learning style). He is also considering teaching secondary history and plans to try that out freshman and sophomore year before he commits to a major. He figures if he doesn’t like teaching, he can be a CIA analyst! Law intrigues him, but he has not fallen in love with it. As far as being a professor goes, he was toying with that idea before he took the aptitude test. </p>
<p>Off-beat majors do not preclude success: Niece was an African-American studies major, but got into working with urban youth groups during the summers in college, which translated to a well paying career after school.</p>
