Jordan: That sounds totally shitty.
I'm sorry that's how it's been for you in school.
Listen, I was mostly tongue in cheek about the meeting people thing -- it was just funny to read people complaining about how there were no girls to meet when I spent all my college years complaining about the lack of guys! I know university can kick your ass. I took a full course load, had a job, and worked forty hours a week on the newspaper, and I would have been pissed off if, during one of those soul-killing weeks with no time to eat, sleep or breathe, practically, someone had told me that I wasn't getting out enough. Sometimes you have to buckle down and get through it, letting the chips fall where they may, and that's fine. All I was saying was that if there are no girls to meet in school, and meeting girls is something you have a desire to do, you should go someplace where there are girls, that's all! If you don't have the time, you don't have the time! However, for those with a less packed schedule, or for those who feel acutely the lack of women, I'm just sayin' -- don't get all paralysed, take some action! And save a lonely co-ed.
As far as the degree thing goes, well, I guess none of know, really, how our careers are going to turn out. I got my first degree in English and French literatures, and my second in journalism. My job is to write, to edit, and to do graphics design -- things which were touched on in school and informed my school, but were mostly developed working at the newspaper in college. So far, so good -- but I'm only 24, working at my first real post-school job. It could all change, and probably will! You just gotta try and be honest with yourself about what you like, and try and test it out as much as possible, and then trust that it will work out ...
