I think homeschooling parents should either encourage their children to study subjects such as engineering and medicine which don’t leave much time for liberal crap, or ask them whether they really need to attend college for what they want. I expect my daughter to attend college. I also expect that she won’t be studying for a worthless liberal degree.

Unfortunately the legal climate has made it almost impossible for employers to hire based on things like achievement tests. That’s racist, don’t you know...

As an FYI, medical schools do not require a specific degree for entrance - just specific courses. My daughter found out in the process of her applying that med schools PREFER admitting students with degrees outside of the field of science. She herself added a Classics major to balance out her Bio-Chem and to make herself a more interesting candidate.

She said that if she had it to do over again, she would have majored in what she loved, taken the pre-requisites for medical school, then just really enjoyed her college experiences more.

FWIW
