Oh yeah, the transition there was that she HATED engineering and had to get out. She could not transfer into liberal arts.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Ah. Got it! (Seriously, I was all "Engineering isn't practical???")

I left out the whole middle of the story!

My friend's husband got his engineering degree, worked as a structural engineer for maybe a year before chucking it and working in film. (He was making films all along.) I'm pretty sure he only finished the degree for his parents.

Any hunk list that places Jason Isaacs as low as 14 is just wrong (or at least has never seen Peter Pan.)

I have a lot of issues with that list! But seriously:
Feel with 100% certainty that if Sergeant Hathaway were real, I would be married to him.

Well they never even mentioned his frequent shirtlessness in Case Histories (which was the only thing that kept it from being completely grim), so she has some issues with priorities.

Juliebird, I'm sorry things are going in a weird direction at work. It doesn't seem unreasonable to me that a director of horticulture would have some interest in, say, horticulture.
I started in Bio but switched to English. As I was planning to teach, and it was the 80s, they were equally practical.

In my family, the cautionary tale regarding choosing your major was about how everyone in college with my parents majored in Engineering because that was where the jobs were supposed to be - my folks were both Chemistry majors and a lot of the coursework overlapped. By the time this huge flood of newly-minted engineers graduated, there were engineering jobs, but not nearly as many as there were newly-minted engineers.
Results - my older brother majored in Psychology which I don't think he has ever used. I majored in Math and my not really using it is probably not the subject's fault, it was more that in the process of getting the degree I discovered that I didn't really want to do that. My sister majored in, hm, Contemplative Movement? Something like that. And she kind of uses it, whatever it was called.

Contemplative Movement? Pardon my releasing my inner 12-year-old but that sounds like deep thoughts while taking a shit.
