No, it is better to major in an academic field that interests yourather than trying to make yourself adapt to a growing career field.The job market changes frequently; the "hot" fields today may not bethe "hot fields" five years from now. Labor market trends do matterwhen making career choices, but it is better to consider trends afteryou have narrowed your own interest areas. In other words, don't beginyour career decision-making process with what's available, begin withwhat you would enjoy doing. Also, it is very difficult to predictwith any degree of accuracy what the job market will actually belike in the next five years.
