it's one thing to approach college as training for a career; it's another thing to approach it as training for life.

I majored in literature and philosophy, and took almost nothing that anyone would recognize as practical. In the nearly 4 decades since, I've never regretted it.

BUT, no matter what subjects you take, make sure you have teachers who are inspired by their material and who can inspire you. That matters almost more, I think, than what you study.
