I can't agree with any of you more strongly. Advisors many times give little or no career advice. The reason is two fold: they don't care and they are not qualified to do so. Many educators and administrators fail to realize that students must be able to get a job once those four years are over. It goes hand in hand with my belief that a counselor should ask you straigh t out "what re you going to do with your degree in French?" If you saying anything but grad. school, translator or teacher, they should stop you right there. Why get a degree to end up with an $8/hour job you can get right now in school without a degree? One last thing, I disagree with the statement that "most people who graduate will not find a job in their major." This is only true for people who get degrees that are of limited application or use in the job market. IF you get that degree in phys. ed., yea start looking outside your field. BUT isn't thatyour fault in the first place for getting a degree you can't use?
