Should Students Major in What They Love?

Dear Colleagues:

Do you find yourself discussing college majors with your students?  Here is an interesting article on advising, Should Students Major in What They Love.  It lifts up the pressures of family need and cultural expectations in the choice of a college major, topics that may be less familiar to those advising young adults but familiar to adult educators and counselors advising adults.  What do you take away from the article?  Do you find yourself helping students weigh passion and practicality?
