No, my major doesn’t have job security.

That’s the rhetoric many millennials are going to be repeating during holiday dinners. As if impending finals, projects (and even worse: group projects) weren’t enough, now you have to deal with the stress of answering a million questions about your major.

For those of you with majors that aunts and uncles can actually understand—pre-law, accounting, chemistry—you might still be dealing with the inevitable questions about upcoming internship and job opportunities you didn’t even realize were opportunities because, well, you haven’t applied for those yet.

Sorry for the reminder.

But, for those of you with majors your relatives have never even heard of, you’re going to be hearing a lot about job security. If we’re being honest, most of these majors are going to fall under the arts and communications category—classics studies, journalism, public relations. But also your wildlife and fisheries majors, because really, what the hell are you going to do with that?

Get used to that question.

We’re stressed college students running on four hours of sleep and Taquitos. Of course we have no idea what the hell we’re going to do with our major, even though our resumes say otherwise. So what? We’re millennials. We grew up with a crap economy, expecting crap jobs for crap pay. What have we really got to lose by majoring in something we’ve decided might make us happy in the long-run?

Because that’s what it boils down to.

Sure, making enough money to buy a house and pay the mortgage sounds really nice…but not if we’re miserable doing it. We want to be happy. We want to be fulfilled. And picking a major for the sake of job security is not the road to fulfillment.

Can it work for some people? Absolutely. Especially people who don’t know their passion yet, and have no problem grinding it out in college to get that guaranteed-job-degree.

But us? The students with the majors that make people draw a blank? We know what we want. And it’s not engineering. It’s not medicine. It’s not law.

It’s a little more complicated than that, because it doesn’t really have a name. We just kind of make it up as we go along, and that’s okay.

So take a deep breath. Enjoy your family and the blessings in your life this holiday season.

Keep doing your thing.
