College Student Uses eBay to Determine Major
(Monday October 10, 2005)

One of the toughest decisions any student faces is choosing a subject and a career to follow. Peter Wojtowicz, a US junior student attending DePaul University in Chicago decided to take a different approach in choosing his subject. He devised an auction on eBay where the winner will get to decide what he majors in.

Why would any student let someone else choose his or her subject? Statistically nearly 70% of US undergraduates change their minds at least once when choosing a major. ‘I have spent the past three years trying to decide what I should pursue. It seems like I keep changing my mind every week,' Wojtowicz says. ‘This auction will help me focus during my last year in college and my career after I graduate.'

If you fancy helping Peter decide what path to follow in life, check out the listing here.
