With his tongue planted firmly in his cheek (at least I think so), Thomas H. Benton suggests we close down career planning offices and throw in our lot with astrologers. He thinks students would have just as much planning their life choices with his rewritten zodiac.
All I can say, based on my own experience (and birthdate) is WRONG! WRONGITY, WRONGITY, WRONG! My life choices apparently should have included "accounting, moral philosophy, rhetoric and composition, and physics." The rhetoric and composition part perhaps, but physics? My physics prof in high school lost me at the difference between potential and kinetic energy, and I've been wandering in a lack of understanding ever since (although I've dated a few physicists--it didn't help).
