“Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life” is an old saying. “Choose a major you love and you’ll never work a day in your life because that field probably isn’t hiring” is a jocular variation of the saying that has been printed on posters.
 
“‘Choose a major you love, find a job, and you’ll never work a day in your life, because that field isn’t hiring.’ — Troy University” was cited on Twitter by Yik Yak on September 14, 2014.

Did You See That Yak?
Corey Klein in Humor on Sep 29, 2014
Yik Yak is the new social media app sweeping our campus. It’s basically an anonymous version of Twitter, so you’re the only one who knows when your post is funny, but also the only one who knows when it’s not. There is a constant struggle of whether to Tweet something funny that 3 of your friends will see, or Yak it anonymously for a 100 likes and a boost in your Yakarma.
 
Here is a list of some of my favorite “Yaks” from the week…

Remember, choose a major you love and you’ll never work a day in your life, probably because they aren’t hiring.
