...I'm a retired university professor/research scientist. I taught at the graduate level, but when I was a grad student, I also served as a teaching assistant--I taught some undergrad classes. I'd have a class of 40 freshmen or sophomores--over half of which had no clue what they wanted to do--Mommy and Daddy told them they were going to college, so off they went. Some were even told what their degree/career path was to be.
I had one student that was told that he was going to be a doctor--and he was miserable. A couple decades later, I recognized him on TV accepting his Tony Award for his Broadway production of something (I don't recall the play). He never wanted to be pre-med, but that's all his parents would pay for.
"And today is for sale and it's all you can afford. Buy your own admission. The whole things got you bored. Well the Lord chooses the good ones, and the bad ones use the Lord"--a very dear friend for decades Michael Stanley (Gee)--RIP
