Can you tell he was a business major?

Mitt Romney, in a bid for the "keep young people off of our lawns" vote, proposed curbing financial for students with useless majors, linking "the amount of financial aid college students get to the kind of jobs they pursue after graduation."

This, of course, flies in the face of the statistic that most professionals do not work in the field they originally studied in college. And this is because: 1) most educations are outdated in the business world within 10 years, and 2) most people don't know what they want to do for the rest of their lives when 18 years old.

Case in point: Mitt Romney. After getting his MBA and making millions, he changed careers to run for governor and then president.

Mitt wasn't satisfied with proving he doesn't understand college, so he continued--probably against the wishes of his handlers--to speak:

"Maybe it’s partly our fault, those of us that are running for office," Romney said. "We don’t spend more time on campus and we probably should spend some more time with students and say, 'Guys get involved, get educated.'"

Yes, because college students have a tough time getting education on their campuses. But keeping people without money out of college will help. Try not to think about it too hard.
