What Is Your Major?

(Pro 12:11 KJV)  He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.

I keep hearing people complaining about how there are no jobs and no future.  I have been hearing this for years.  I heard it when my children were starting out but it was not their experience.  One of the reasons is they did not go out expecting the world to honor their vanity.  Many of their contemporaries did.  How many jobs are there for people with a BA in philosophy?  Even though philosophy is important, it does not teach you how to wire your air conditioning or diaper a baby.

This is a large part of the frustration today.  The current generation has been told to follow their dreams.  They might have wanted to be designing the layout of the next ride at Disneyland.  They find that the only opening available is for the guy who runs around in the Goofy suit.  We recently went to the high school graduation of a wonderful young lady.  She wants to go to college and major in communications.  My advice to her would be that the local Mediterranean restaurant has a sign out that they are hiring.  But she would not listen.

So?  I hope you have made wise decisions.  If you are still alive you will have more to make and people who need your advice.  Beware of vain dreams.
