I just want to say that I get kinda upset when people talk about "easy majors." There are "hard majors" like Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Math, etc. And there are "easy majors" like English, Education, Political Science, etc. I would love to see a Biology major try to hold his own in ONE of my Political Science classes. Or try to teach a 5 year old how to write their name. S/he would crash and burn in three days. I could never make it as a Biologist, but I also couldn't make it as a teacher. People are called to do certain things, that doesn't mean that one thing is better that another or that one is easier that another.
There are people who are too lazy to give any effort to their work, so they do what is easiest for them. If you look at the way young women are treated in math and science courses, you wouldn't be surprised that most young women choose a career in something NOT science or math related.
I am planning on going into a male dominated field (Law) and I have been discouraged by my own family, several teachers at my high school, my guidence couselor, and my friends. It is hard to make a decision like this and I can understand how some young ladies would be afraid to go against everything they have been exposed to culturally.
So I'm not jumping all over you or anything, but please understand that each major takes talent, effort (to be good at it), and a real calling!
