I’m glad that you’re open to different viewpoints, too! Neither of my kids went to college for any particular job path, and their employment now, though they both like what they do, was in no way dependent on their majors, but moreso the experience of sharpening their minds and gaining knowledge about ideas.
Even my husband, who used to be a pediatrician, did not do college with med school in mind, in fact, avoided the whole premed environment. Majored in bio (specializing in botany) and philosophy. Went to med school later on sort of accidentally. Quit medicine to be a high school teacher. Weird, huh?
