Sorry, long post ahead

I was raised by a single mother who majored in Math in college. She managed/es to make a very good living first by starting her own computer software company and now by working as a recruiter of technical consultants. I've spent a lot of time talking to her about these issues and her opinion, which I share, is that if you have a head on your shoulders and analytical ability you will make it in any career regardless of your major.

I really don't think undergraduate majors matter anymore. Anyone know what the current statistic is for people with BA's getting graduate degrees? Out of my pledge class of 40 women, only 5 women haven't started or gone to grad school. IMO, what that means is, major in what you want as long as you fill any prerequisites for the grad or professional school you want to attend. I majored in Geography and Environmental Studies. After law school I worked for the district attorney's office and now I practice securities law. The only correlation b/w my undergraduate education and what I do today is that it taught me to use my brain, do research, write fast and work my butt off.
