Please click on the Newsweek article for the link. The real message behind this article is to major in something that you truly ENJOY and find satisfaction and meaning in studying. It does not mean you should change your major to English or anything else if you are not truly interested in it. The bottom line is that medical, dental schools, etc., will accept students coming from ALL majors.
