Undeclared majors - While checking the University of Maryland football roster I noticed that the most popular major is “Undeclared,” which translates to: “I don’t know what I want to be once this gig is over.” The University of Delaware football roster lists nine criminal justice majors, along with six players majoring in sports management. The game is simple: travel light, don t pick up any excess baggage and keep going to school. That s how you separate from the pack or peloton that is chasing you down. Staggering stats: 36 percent of the U.S. population have a bachelor s degree, while only 13 percent have a master’s degree. The question raised is: Why not keep going? The answer most frequently given is: “Because I’m sick of going to school.”
