What is/was your major in college?

Computer Science - back in the mid-70s. I was happy with my choice back then and have had a satisfying career (mainly doing database design and programming). Nowadays I'm not sure whether it would be a wise a choice. Many of these types of jobs are being sent offshore and job prospects are not so good (at least in my area).

Lots. I voted for finance but I did philosophy, religion, economics also.

When I first started applying to colleges, I was planning on going into journalism. Then out of nowhere, I decided to do special education. I'd always wanted to do education and some form of writing, but I had a blip where I decided to do journalism. My first semester of college, I did special education but kept thinking about a million other things I wanted to do. I'm about to switch to english education, and I won't be surprised if I change my mind again.

Child Development. I focused mainly on the first 5 years of life because I wanted to become a licensed daycare provider.

Major: Not sure

Minor: Professional Writing and Religious Studies

M.a in psychology, I have finished now recently.

I'm currently working towards a double major in English and Classical Studies

When I first got to college, I majored in Sociology. The reason I chose sociology is because I had took some sociology courses as electives in high school and I found it more interesting because it felt more "relevant" than other classes at the time. It was talking about how culture and social groups effect us and things like poverty,social class,race,gender, all the stuff that effects me personally rather than some dead white man from a few centuries ago who didn't give a damn about me. I took mostly sociology classes in the beginning, but when I got into the heavier stuff, I started to lose interest and realized that other than becoming a sociology researcher, there wasn't much in sociology, so I decided to change over to political science, because I always had a interest in politics since I was thirteen, and maybe I could become an intern and a politician or maybe an activist for social justice someday.

As of late in the last year or so, I kind of really grown to hate politics and politicians, in the US anyway. The entire system is broken and beyond repair, and it seems that the type of people we need most in positions of governance are prevented from entering, while the it seems the worst type of people one can think of are the ones in power, and its all a circus anyway, with clowns like Sharon Angle, Jim Boehner, Bobby Jindal, its disgusting. I mean, I can't read a single political article in the news without my blood pressure rising through the roof, it makes me depressed and angry to see what is happening to this great nation. I listen to Rage Against the Machine to calm myself down. Now, I want nothing to do with politics and don't know what I'm gonna do with my life. Although, I always had a knack for humor, maybe I might be a comedian.

Geophysics with a focus on climate science/paeloclimatology. I may actually graduate next year. I took sort of a circuitous route - I started with aerospace engineering, then physics, then linguistics and anthropology, then a few years off, then physics again, then math, then applied math, and now geophysics.

Currently studying psychology with a business minor. I'm hoping the business minor will help me out in terms of job and getting internship.

I did two separate post-secondary programs (graduated from both).

First I have a college diploma in Computer Programming, which I finished in 2003. Second, I have a Bachelor of Arts in Cinema and Media Studies, which I just received last year.

Elementary Education major, about a year off from completing my BA.

I'm currently working on my 3rd degree, studying science this time around.

I hated high school, but I really started liking academics once I got into college and I had a lot more control over what classes I wanted to take. My problem was wanting to take a little bit of everything. If I could, I'd take one class that interested me each semester for the rest of my life.

I majored in urban studies. I also minored in geography.
