  230. Venturing outside the major大胆尝试专业以外的领域 varied 2-venture

A variety of options exist for today’s college graduates. This is at variance 3 with the situation of those in past generations. Most bosses seek a varied work force. Therefore, various majors are represented in many organizations. There are a vast number of people working outside their majors. Here, we can only varnish 4 over a few examples.

Renee Smith, a philosophy major, now works in the field of art history. She took a trip with the Smithsonian Institution to observe the vaulted 5 ceilings of many European churches. She wrote an essay on the different kinds of vaults 7 prominent in European architecture. It was published in Smithsonian magazine. Veering 8 away from the topic of the arts, and into the topic of vegetation, there is the example of Kevin Flint. Though he was a business major, he now works on an Israeli kibbutz. Kevin, a vegetarian 10, was inspired when he read an article about some people’s vehemence 11 toward the organic food movement. Kevin is a vehement 12 supporter of labeling all non-organic food. Soon after graduating, he sold his vehicle to finance his trip to Israel. Kevin feels that without proper labeling, a veil will continue to exist over people’s eyes when it comes to the differences between organic and non-organic food. “Harmful materials from genetically 13 engineered food get into your veins 14 and spoil your blood,” he says.

Neil Cantor studied ventilation, yet through the venerable Rockefeller Trust he has established an interesting venture in Australia, home to many venomous snakes. His organization studies the potential healing effects of chemically altered snake venom 16. “It’s my desire to go to medical school,” he says. “I figured out in my third year of school that while properly ventilating buildings is useful, I just didn’t want to spend my life working with vents 17. More exciting is the rapid velocity 18 of medical breakthroughs today. In the past, our object of veneration 19 was religion. But now that’s really changed. Today, we venerate 20 doctors and nurses, though admittedly, not in quite the same way.”

As you can see, a few folks have found happiness outside their majors.
