Can't just train in one specialization anymore and expect it to last your whole life. I recommend something flexible and useful, like English. (BTW, I'm a comp sci and econ major.)

No offense, Budd, but that is the stupidest thing I have read from a long list of stupid things written by those supporting so-called "Free Trade".

As the Master Card commercial says: get a job. (Looks like the only jobs available are in sports, entertainment and music).
