obscure and/or totally random majors

Personally it doesn't surprise me in the least. Think of the little robot vacuum cleaners, or the ones they send up in space. Not really something you can do with just a high school education, is it?

no, i suppose not and i suppose somebody has to do it but still...

My high school has a robotics team. I don't think it's really that far out there.

oh thats cool, i dont know about a team but yeah i think we have some sort of tech class or something like that too so yeah, i guess its not that far out there, i just never knew/was kind of surprised there was a major for it, just never really looked at a list of majors or whatever like that before is all, i actually think its kind of cool, i just never knew there was a major for it (simply because ive never really looked it up) is all...

Did they have a major, in Community Surveillance, because that's going to be important, in the newly formed society?

I had a friend who majored in Industrial Hygiene, she ended up working for osha doing inspections. Eventually she went back and got a nursing degree. I always thought that was a strange one.

If there was not a demand for them, they would not be offered. For most of those, there is a clear path to a specific job, whether in private industry, government, and/or education. Some sound a little different to you, but if you find out what is behind them, you might be surprised at where they lead or what is actually involved.
