Students look at the apparently permanent depressed state of the economy and decide they can't afford to ma­ jor in an "impractical" subject. Therefore, they choose to major in highly structured so-called practical rnajors which they believe can guarantee a high-paying, profes­ sional job when they get out. Q. Whats wrong with that? A. On one level, absolutely nothing. I've generally been im­ pressed with the seriousness of UT­ SA students. Most of the student^, especially the older ones, genuinely want to learn something and im­ prove the quality of their life. The problem with their approach is that with the exception of a few fields like engineering, no bachelor's degree can promise the type of pro­ fessional job most students expect Playing aarly Renalaaance music are left to right: Oorothey Bradford, Tommy Arends, Katheleen Nass, UTSA or hope to get upon graduation Like professor Dennis Olsen and Kathy Benforado. it or not we live in a rapidly chang­ ing, specialized economy in which employers are looking for flexible people who can do a lot of things and do them well."
