Everyone's big decision in life is what they major in college...I think they feel that the degree they receive will determine the type of job they will work at for the rest of their lives. English major? Get used to reading a lot of books, and you better start busting out that novel, stat. Theatre major? Have fun being a thespian for the rest of your life. While most of us know that this is not true (thank you Luke, the computer programming theatre major for being such an excellent example) there should be a perfect major out there...so irrelevant and ridiculous that no employer will hire you for being just that awesome...And that major is....
Quitting. Can you imagine having that on your resume. I think the interview conversation would go something like this.. So where did you go to school? Harvard. Oh wow, good school. What did you major in? Quitting. With an emphasis on small useless jobs like this...Wow...well...thanks for coming in.
Or something like that. See, in this major you would learn how to quit anything...effeciently and tactifully. New hobby? No problem. New job? That's your new specialty. Lunch date with less that desirable friends? You're out of there.
Maybe they would teach you how to quit with the best tactic I know, GUILT. Make anyone feel sympathetic for your quitting...I'm sorry I can't do this anymore...my dog just died...Aawwww, I'm sorry! Here's your bonus AND severance pay. Done.
Don't mock, people. I'll be surprised if some liberal arts school doesn't start this one up within the next 10 years. Mark my words. But this major has one problem...It's gotta be a short one, like a eek or so, because everyones going to quit school too....it's kind of their thing.
