COMMENTARY

MSU students need to stop major shaming

In just one year at MSU, I have already noticed how ridiculous people can be about their majors. Especially, when they see themselves as superiors.  One thing every college student needs to realize is no matter what major you choose, you still have to find a job.  Engineering and medical field jobs are definitely in demand, but that doesn't mean all other majors have no shot.  When I chose my major, I went for my passion and that doesn't mean I'll be rich, but I'll be happy.

Shortly before the first commitment of the weekend four-star wide receiver commit Cameron Chambers gave a hint that some recruiting news would be on the way. Chambers and the other members of the class of 2016 or the "dream team" as they've dubbed themselves have been pushing hard for other recruits to commit to MSU.
