College Student Uses eBay to Determine Major

CHICAGO, Ill., October 6th, 2005 -- One of the toughest decisions college students face is choosing a major and a career. Peter Wojtowicz, a junior attending DePaul University in Chicago decided to take a different approach in choosing his major. He devised an auction on eBay (www.ebay.com) where the winner will get to decide his major.

Why would any student let someone else choose his or her major? Statistically nearly 70% of 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. This auction will help me focus during my last year in college and my career after I graduate."

The auction also features a live webcam, streaming the daily activities of a college student right on the listing. The auction's title is: CHOOSE MY COLLEGE MAJOR! NR! It ends on Oct-16-05 and can be found on eBay (#5622939108).
