Digression!

I've seen a lot of the "my parents want me to major in this" crap even at the HS level. My response to the student is usually something to the effect of "Are your parents taking the classes and doing the work for you too? No? Then choose the major that makes you happy or that you can channel into your interests." I'm not trying to undermine here, but I HATE it when people push stuff off on their kids because they want them to major in business/etc...I've met too many people who are unhappy in college because of parental expectations.

/end digression

Helicopter parents need to just stop.
