Catholic Church Clarification & College Major Dilemma: Passion vs. Earning Potential
At 41:47 · chapter starts 37:20
Elizabeth from Orlando opens with a brief but appreciated clarification: contrary to what a recent caller claimed, the Catholic Church does not require couples to have a baby before marriage prep — it may postpone weddings during unexpected pregnancies to reduce decision-making under stress, but that's different. George admits the original call confused him and thanks Elizabeth for the correction. Elizabeth's real question is about her future: she's entering college this fall on a 100% full scholarship, having earned her AA through dual enrollment, and is considering majoring in animal well-being conservation while potentially adding mathematics. She's drawn to canine training as a career. George and Jade both note that since the education is free, she should explore freely — but George leans toward his own philosophy: major in the field with the highest career ROI (mathematics, with its flexibility into data science and engineering), and use electives and minors to explore the animal passion. Jade recommends Ken Coleman's book 'Find the Work You're Wired to Do' for a more structured self-assessment.
