If you're going to be a real estate agent or a CPA, sure, get specialized degrees in those areas. But do you really think you have to major in some specific thing to go to law school or to go into the business world in general? Hell, you can get into medical school with a liberal arts degree like African-American Studies if you've supplemented it right - and probably sail right over applicants with majors like Biology and Chemistry.

Did I say they would help me anymore? No. I didn't say that at all. I chose my major because it interested me....and because it has allowed me to be prepared more for my summer internships at firms. I'm not worried about having to set myself apart from other people to get into law school. Take SMU for instance, my other top choice for law school besides Texas. The fact that I eat dinner and play golf with Michael M. Boone and his family (co-founder of that "tiny" little law firm called Haynes Boone) on any given weekend is going to facilitate me getting into SMU Law alot more than me majoring in something along the lines of Women's/African American Studies.
Thanks for the lecture though.
