Guys, several of you picked up on the issue, perhaps unknowingly. If I ask my kid "what's your major" and his reply is "I don't know", I'm not spending a dime on college. College is a very expensive way to figure out what to do with your life, something that can be uncovered while working post high school.
Like most kids I went to college straight out of high school. I was a mechanical engineering major, then I changed to business, then I got kicked out. I took a year off, went back for a year, then quit because I knew business wasn't for me. After some time in the real world I went back (married, kids, job) with focus and motivation. I earned an Aerospace Engineering degree with a business minor taking up to 21 hours per semester. I'm currently working on my MBA. The only difference is that I know exactly what I want and I'm well motivated. The real world has a way of doing that...
