What college do you go to and what is your major?

I don't know about jobs specifically, but having an interdisciplinary skill set like that would probably score big points when trying to get in somewhere for phd. The only thing is making sure that whatever phd admissions actually understands what your degree is

You should try to get some research in. Even if you only work a little for free (try to see if you can get at least course credit or something, though) it's great for your letters of rec and if you actually manage to produce something publishable (there are some journals and conferences specifically for undergrads that are much easier to get into) that's *huge* and it's what will get you into major programs over other similarly qualified applicants

But yeah, especially if you have done some research as an undergrad, interdisciplinary can make you stand out.

*could've sworn he already posted on this topic some time ago* O.o hmmmm...

I'm not in college yet...HOWEVER...
this fall, I'll be enrolling in CSM (College of Southern Maryland): Prince Frederick Campus to major in general studies (2 year degree), then I'm transfering that credit to a four year college (most likely UMBC) to major in something I'll actually like. XD

I've narrowed it down to three possible majors: Physics (research/teaching @ a university), Electrical Engineering (I like electricity and spinning things XD), or computer science.

Congratulations. I grew up in San Marcos and attended a few courses back when it was still Southwest Texas State U. The geography department there is topnotch.

This fall, I'm heading to the University of Miami to major in Microbiology and Immunology. I will minor in mathematics, and probably another minor in chemistry. The math might turn into a second major, or I might end up getting a music minor.

I'm in Quebec pure science and then I may go to Montreal University in Physics (what got me interested into physics was anti-matter)

I'm planning on going to Carleton University, but I don't want to disclose the major I want to go into...

I'll be starting a master's degree at USM in the fall.

Hello,

I'm working on my MBA through Utica College's on-line program. They're in upstate NY, and I've been to campus a few times. Once just to visit, and then two other longer times for 3-day residencies. I will graduate in May 2009. My MBA is specifically in Economic Crime & Fraud Management.

I'm thinking about continuing into a DBA program at NCU (also on-line, but in Prescott Valley, AZ), for a degree in Homeland Security. As long as I go within 3 years of finishing my MBA, they would accept my core classes and not make me repeat them. I need to get a job in my field first though and take care of some of my bills!

University of West Florida.... Accounting Information Systems (that means never ask me any questions related to taxes, cause I don't know it, it isn't required)... trying for a minor in Forensic Accounting.... though I have been sliding over to look at what minors in psych fields look like

Another Biology major! WOO!! !

I'm going to graduate high school on the 23rd. I'm going to the University of Georgia and will major in horticulture.

George Mason University, economics.

When I was there competing for UM's top scholarship, pretty much EVERYONE there was some variant of bio or pre-med, so I think bio is probably the most competitive major at a lot of places.

George Mason University

Major: E.E.

Second Major: deciding on physics or math

U of Montana. Environmental Studies.

I'm still in highschool and want to go to UC Davis and major in veternary medicine despite my mom telling me I'm too ret*d to do so.
