TOP IDEA: Amy Ng I am intrigued by the increased level of parental involvement in Gen-Y job hunting and career development and management. I would love to better understand this new dynamic in the workforce. Gen-Y: Has your parent ever joined you for a job interview with a prospective employer or contacted your employer to discuss your performance or career development opportunities on your behalf? Employers: Have you been contacted by parents to discuss their child’s employment or future with your company?

That, or their need to control their children and their children's life is out of control.
Does anyone teach their children well and let them go?.

I have done local alumni admission interviews, and it always gives me pause when a potential student, not much younger than I am, a student who wants to attend a huge university in one of the largest cities in the world, comes in to interview with a parent, and the parent expects to remain in the room during the interview.

And if she heard about a job lead in her travels, she would write it down and tell me about it. But she never took any kind of specific initiative without my direct knowledge. (Such as calling a manager, or some such madness.)

But I know people in my family who would do that. I have often thought that I have many weaknesses, but none of them entail my mother going to a job interview with or for me. But more importantly, she would not presume to do so on her own.

Every major is going to have a couple of tough or weed out classes. In general if you like mechanical systems more than computers ... do that. And vice versa. If you don't like CS and you do it "for the money", you'll be disappointed when you graduate. Pick the Major you like most, study hard, get tutors, join a study group, bug the professors, etc. You'll be fine.
