<p>Haha Sam Lee, I know a Chicago student who had a VERY similar conversation with somebody else. “Biology… what are you going to do with that?”</p>
<p>We all know that unless you major in bio, engineering or econ/applied math and are planning to go into medicine or finance, your years of undergraduate study at a school like Chicago or Northwestern WCAS (the other schools have more pre-professional slants) will have very little to do with your career path.</p>
<p>The knowledge you gain in college will not directly help you in whatever career you pursue, but the abilities you gain from doing work (communicating clearly, facing challenges, being timely, working hard, expecting a lot from yourself, analyzing a situation) will help you enormously.</p>
