My firstborn is a sophomore. STEM major. Great student. Given a choice, he’d rather write a story than a computer program. But I always told him STEM was his best chance at getting a good job.
I may have been wrong. :-(
So now, my second-born will start college in the fall. I was pushing him into STEM, too, but now I’m backing off. Maybe these days a communications major will have a better chance at employment - right? - assuming an American has a better grasp on the English language, that is.
I still say you guys should at least pick a second major in STEM. Or at least a STEM minor, if there’s such a thing. Drone technology is the up-and-coming thing now. You just never know - times may change.
Material science has enormous potential I think as a getting on the ground floor type of thing. I worked before going to college, so this is a second career for me, so I’ve got my age working against me no matter what my GPA and standing are, it’s just a fact (no good arguing).
To my thinking, no matter what your major is (or your age), you should have something to fall back on which isn’t reliant on a lab full of expensive equipment.
I don’t think you can go wrong with Communications. That’s one of the few things my school is plowing money into right now.
Wishing you and your the best, and happy New year to you :)
