When I was in college, the people in time-consuming sports like football, basketball, crew, etc. just tended to look for majors that didn’t require a lot of reading and paper-writing during their sport’s season. Nothing dumb about that.
Teaching is a very tough job, as a lot of parents suddenly required to “home school” their kids have discovered the hard way, especially but not exclusively in public schools. I wouldn’t blame anyone for getting discouraged and choosing a different path, and have tons of respect for those who do make it their career.
Better not ban abortion then.
