On my choice of college major, please stay out of my intellectual endeavors. That's like telling me what books I should spend time reading. I'll choose, thank you. That degree in art history has served me well, for instance in teaching social studies (long story, but there it is) and using political cartoons and ads in lessons. Plus, I love visiting old buildings, and I did a lot more on trips abroad than just go shopping!
