Question: “Dear Grandma Esther, My daughter wants to go to college to study something called ‘cultural anthropology,’ but I don’t see how she’s going to get a job with that degree. Should I try to steer her toward something more practical? – Concerned Parent”
Esther’s Response: Well, sweetheart, if I had a dollar for every time someone majored in something they never used, I’d be living in a mansion instead of handing out free advice. Let her make her choice, but keep a ‘Plan B’ handy. She’ll figure it out soon enough when reality smacks her in the face. Just make sure she knows what rent costs!
