Dear MediatheGlobalNetwork Bloggers,
I usually call those posts "And now for something completely different" posts, but considering the blog discussion on "major" decisions:

This is Mary Schmich's take in the "Chicago Tribune" on what kind of wisdom to offer when your life paths still lie ahead of you.
My "piece" is probably not to choose a subject that can be replaced by computers in any way, shape or form in the near future (since you cannot possibly guess what happens in the "far future" anyway). And to follow your passion.

... and yes, there is even a visual as well as audio to it:

In my country you are called to college based on your grades and what you decide to major in. So you pretty much have to decide what to do right after high school as you apply for college. In a way, this is a good thing because it takes away the burden of making the decision pretty early, and thus you can get into college knowing what you want, and you don't have to do so many other things. You concentrate on getting one specific thing since you already know what you want. On the other hand, here you get more time to make this decision. You have the opportunity to explore the different fields before you make up your mind. This is great for you if you are the kind of person who can rule out your choices and decide on one thing. However, if you are the kind of person who has more than a few interests (which is a lot of people) and you cannot decide which you love most, then this becomes very difficult. All in all I don't think what you major in determines what you have to do for the rest of your life. You can always change to something else.
