Important quote from this article about the author of Fast Food Nation‘s week performance at University of Wisconsin:
“I was looking for more of a venue for action,” said Kirsten Jordan, a UW-Madison student majoring in geography.
A major in geography? Ha-ha! That will prepare you for anything for any number of years until the Bush administration rewrites world maps and alters world climate. Also, clear-cuts and strip mines to alter topography. So in the next four years, about the time this kid is graduating, all that book-learning will be useless.
Hope she’s smart, like me, and picked up a useful second major like philosophy.
