How can a high school pressure students into majoring in something in college? I know I was like, "eff all ya'll" when I graduated from HS. My college never gave me any pressure to major in anything, either. My parents didn't either. What a terrible life I lead...
I'm glad the school pressures social graces. We need it in this day and age! Too bad most schools no longer do that. I find it really sad. Anyway, colleges never pressure their students to major in one thing or another. They shouldn't...it's not their job. Besides, students are usually 18 or pretty close to 18 when they're in their first year. Some parents, however, do pressure their kids. My parents never did, but I know that inside, they would have preferred that I majored in Life Sciences (premed) than history/drama. Looking back, I somewhat agree. Drama was bad for me, and I'm now somewhat embarassed that I did that.
