Who won?

Sometimes I wish I had majored in something else.

My parents
Were concerned
That we each got
A bachelor’s degree
From a school
In another state
No matter what
The subject.
It was
Almost
A beginner degree.
My sister majored
In biology,
Went into
Mortgage banking.
My brother majored
In geography
Then law school
Then ran the family business.
I majored
In Greek
Went on to seminary.
I’m not sure
Who won.
By this I mean
Whose degree
Most closely matched
What we ended up
Doing.
There are arguments
For each.
