I didn't hire english majors, I hired people with job skills. So go ahead and rip me on the board, but if you major in something where you can't get employed, don't bitch to anyone later. We don't need more communications majors and you all know it.

I think you missed the point
entirely. She didn't say there was anything wrong with being an accounting major. [And they
are in high demand right now]. She said:

...don't become an accounting major if you don't like math just because accountants are in demand.

I don't like math or many things directly related to math (stats, etc.) Why would I want to MAJOR in something I DON'T LIKE? Like if you hated science in high school.. you're not going to be a biology major because you like animals & think it might be fun to work at the zoo.
I did major in communications (speech & comm, w/ a minor in music). It offered my a variety of job positions, not necessarily what you think of as comm, maybe, but jobs nonetheless. And I got a lot of experience in school with it.
There's a happy medium between useful degree & something you enjoy. And I've known several people, only 4 or 5 years out of college, who quickly burned out of their original field, even when they are in demand. (Teachers being the biggest example).
