So I went home this weekend and had dinner with my whole family one night.  They cooked steaks, one of my personal favorites.  The meat came from my cousin, Montye, and her husband's farm.  It would be kind of weird to me, eating something that I had raised, but Montye said that's just kinda how it goes.  They make a ton off of their meat and that's pretty much what all of their cows are for.  She said the first couple of times it really bothered her, but after 8 years she's kind of used to it.  

I was sitting around in my dorm tonight, listening to my roommates talk to some of their friends about their majors.  One of my roommates is a bio/pre med. major, but she's really not enjoying it and doesn't really want to follow through with it anymore.  I went to high school with her and know she's always been a HUGE over achiever, which i guess could be a good thing in many ways, but she also is WAY too worried with what people think about her.  Her parents are also kind of like that.  They want her to be a doctor or a lawyer or something equally as productive and "important."  She's really hesitant about changing her major because she knows a bio major makes her seem extremely smart and successful, and because she doesn't want to change to something that won't make hr as much money.  I think that's totally ridiculous, especially since she's not enjoying her classes at all.

My high school pushed that kind of thinking and I completly agree with you that its ridiculous. You should do what makes you happy no matter how much money you'll be making.
