Well-known celebrities’ unlikely majors

Think your major’s only preparing you to be a teacher or a grad student?   This CareerBuilder article might give you (and your parents) hope.  According to the article, some popular celebrities’ majors aren’t even close to what you’d expect:

• To the benefit of many Americans who get their nightly kicks watching "The Daily Show," host Jon Stewart decided against pursuing a career in psychology, his major at William and Mary College.
  

• Though sports journalist and "Tuesdays With Morrie" author Mitch Albom holds a master's degree in journalism and business administration from Columbia University, his undergraduate degree is in sociology from Brandeis University.
  

• Before he became a recording artist, singer/songwriter John Legend was studying comma splices and misplaced modifiers as an English major at the University of Pennsylvania.
  

• Perhaps Bart is more enlightened than he lets on: "The Simpsons" creator, Matt Groening, studied philosophy at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington but later traded in Kant for the Kwiki-Mart.
