Just an anecdote to add to #48

I had dinner recently with a group of people who were all profs in some US university in some STEM area. Talk turned to our kids–the Americans had kids in college who were majoring in philosophy of science, creative writing, and history. The Southeast Asian prof said: “Well, this the difference between Americans and people from India: Americans let their kids major in whatever they want.”
