You're making me derail this thread it just doesn't make sense to me. Do something else in medicine besides pathogens then. Journalism and fashion, god. Those majors are the people who end up giving you change at tolls or some other bullshit job. Omfg.
I honestly don't see why you care so much. It's his life, not yours...his passions not yours. If the man wants to work in the fashion industry (and not even that, he wants to, to my understanding of what he posted, work in the fashion CRITIQUING industry), then all the power to him. As a music major, I understand doing what you love, and I understand the brutal future that potentially awaits me out there, but I'm from the opinion that if you don't love what you do, then you won't do it as well as someone who does. And if you don't do what you love, you'll just spend the rest of your life wondering what if, or regretting the choice. I actually think BECAUSE of his microbiology background that he can afford to do this, because if it doesnt work out, he still has the flexibility to do something that'll pay the bills while doing something he loves in his extra time.
And to add onto my previous post on the topic, it seems some opportunities have come up to teach piano as well as tutor high school students which I'm contemplating about right now.
