Choosing a Major

Recently I've heard a lot of discussions in homeschooling groups about homeschooled teens starting at college/university.  I won't go into all of the advantages and disadvantages of applying to a university after being homeschooled in this post. 

I was interested, though, in what people had to say about how their homeschooled children were choosing their majors.  It can be difficult for anyone to decide what to study.

My undergraduate degree is in English.  I loved my course, but I realize that it wasn't necessarily the most practical degree.  Click here to find out what I've done with a B.A. in English. 

I do think it is important for people to study something that they love.  How did any of you choose what to study, or how are your children choosing their majors?  I'd love to hear your experiences.
