    Um... two history majors I know, one's a sys-admin of a bunch of Sun boxes and the other's an editor of a magazine. An English Lit major's an Exchange admin and the fine arts major (dropout) is third tier tech support. I do know one comp sci graduate; she's a print maker (intaglio press) and water color artist. Oh yeah, my buddy with construction management degree; he now runs a bank. Go figuh.

    The only place I see folks working the fields of their degrees is here at the doe lab I work at and those are just the researchers.

    Only advice I have for my daughter, when it's time for her to go to college, is go for what you really like, but get a job in college ITS department. Even if she gets employed in her field, she'll be office star for being able to think around computers .

    Outside of the U.S., gringos tends to refer to all folks from the U.S. Sure, here in NM, we use it to mean Anglos but that's pretty much just a southwest thing.

    Just to keep the kid from scratching 'em all up, have ripped 'em to .mv4 or whatever it is, that will play on AppleTV and iPods.
