Picking a Major: It's Not Rocket Science

There's this girl who's in a few of my classes. We tried to catch her up on what she missed the other day about lighting, she said "it's not rocket science." When she didn't do the reading, we tried to fill her in what it was about and she said "it's not rocket science."

Yeah, it's not rocket science, but you didn't major in rocket science! A rocket scientist isn't going to go around his job saying, "It's not brain surgery", is he? Really think about your major before you pick one. If all you can say about it is, "It's not rocket science"...well, then major in rocket science.

It's important to major in something you care about, otherwise classes will suck. She's a film major, like me, and I don't even like one of my classes but I deal with it because I apparently need it, and I can see it's purpose. Just because you think your major is "easy" doesn't mean you don't have to actually learn about what's going on in class. It may not be rocket science, but that's only a problem if you plan on being a rocket scientist.
