12 . Piling on majors. Despite urban legend, there's no advantage in being a double majorand there are many disadvantages. You get smothered under tons of requirements, and you can end up taking many courses that aren't of interest to you or of value for your career. Be resolute. Pick one major. Don't externalize whatever indecision or inner conflict you have by doubling (or tripling) up on majors.
Extra Pointer. There is no cachet in piling on minors, either. It's usually a better idea to pick the four or five courses that interest you or support your major rather than taking the prepackaged minors that many departments offer to attract additional students. Lynn, who majored in art history but was interested in literature, had a much better time picking courses in Shakespeare, Chaucer, the European novel, and great modern books than she would have had taking the English minor, which included courses in poetry, creative writing, and ancient literature that Lynn had no interest in.
13. 别将走路的时间也花在选择专业上。不要走入死胡同认为自己的专业选择事关重大,而事实上并非如此。你的专业不能预示你的未来,或是让你走上哪条不归路。劳动部的数据显示美国一般员工的职业会在人生中变上三到五次。所以,放松点!拿出最好的选择,顺其自然!
译后记:一个国家对大学生大学所选专业的尊重是一种最人本的关怀,无论这些学生以后是否会感到后悔。中国处于历史的原因,严格化了专业的区分,培养社会的有用人才,但国家最近的中长期规划纲要的举动,反映了国家在这方面的现实举动。其中取消文理科的想法我是支持的。
