There's an element of truth to this story. I started college majoring in history. After a semester, I switched to engineering after I realized you needed a doctorate and several papers published before you could expect a decent income.

I earn a decent salary now with my engineering degree, but still indulge myself as an amateur historian.

After a semester, I switched to engineering after I realized you needed a doctorate and several papers published before you could expect a decent income.

If I could do college over again, I'd definately choose one of the hard-sciences for a major.

Alas, at 34, I have neither the time, money or dedication to go back to college and earn another degree. While it certainly can be done, it is just not something I see myself doing.

I went for English with a History minor, couldn't spell so I ended up an Engineer. My daughter was a history Major and is working at Walmart, but that is another story.
