Funny: How to pick your college major

Here are some of the majors I picked (either I, or my friends are these majors):
Mathematics majors find employment as teachers, statisticians, actuaries, and stadium gatekeepers.
Sociology majors study complicated problems without any feasible solutions. It’s a great major if you one day expect to be named head coach of the Arizona Cardinals. Social work is the major to pick if college football is more your speed.
Computer science used to be a great way to get on board the gravy train. Now it’s a great way to wind up eating Gravy Train.
Business administration would seem to be a good major for those who want high-paying jobs after graduation. After all, the want ads are full of jobs for which a degree in business is required. So remember, if you long for the sort of job that’s so mind-shatteringly boring employers are forced to advertise its availability, major in business.
Engineering students spend four years in agony, taking brutal math and science classes. Many would-be engineers wash out and wind up in easier fields, like Middle East peace negotiations. But the dirty little secret is that engineering students smile so much at graduation because they know they’ve solved their last differential equations and can spend the rest of their careers just looking things up in handbooks.
