What's your major?

Post Reply New Topic

I was wondering what is everyone's major?
Does anyone think that their are majors especially good for aspies?
Just taking a survey basiclly.

wait, wait, don't tell me... music, no... elementary education, no, no... information studies... yeah, that's the ticket!

Geology here.

Electrical Engineering.

Pimping.

the university i am attending didn't have a major program that fit my obesssion so i had to create one on my own. i am calling it "colonial studies in health and education"

i plan to create this for myself in grad school as well. ( i will resist rambling on about it!)

Physics and/or math.

I've almost got my B.S. in Accounting, and previously I went to a technical school to learn power plant operation.

Both fields are pretty good for Aspies (apparently!) for different reasons. I didn't like the hours of working in plant operations, and there's no way to improve it without a degree. I plan to combine the two, and work as an analyst in the energy market.

My major is Political Science with minors in history and international studies. My Political Science major could really be called Political Science-International because that's mostly what I took. I like it because it fits what I'm interested international politics and history.

That's considered unclassified studies I assume? If you want to get a masters or phd do you need to receive it from a recognized program or can you still do it in Unclassified studies? I am curious.[/quote]


well i had to make my decision by weighing that exact problem and it turns out i would not be able to go straight into let's say "sociology', eventhough the bulk of the courses are sociology related becasue they only recognize their specific programs. however, at the same time this "unclassified studies" program gaurentees that i will get into a PhD program that is more radicle, like "equity and edication" or "aboriginal studies" and than from there i could simply focus on socioloy if i wanted.

so you are right, i would not get into the more conservative departments but even if i were to major in one of their programs, they probably wouldn't let me in becasue, despite my high marks, i am know to have "authority problems in class" and tend to be a s**t disturber.

I can't stick to an interest long enough to declare it my major. For the past month or so, I haven't had any interests at all, and I feel sort of lost. A combination of that, and having no human contact other than class and family, and I feel like I'm in some sort of weird limbo, like there's no time. It's quite strange.

Anyway, yeah, don't have a major as of yet.

Computer Science. It's a great major for an Aspie, in my opinion. The degree teaches you more than just programming. You get introduced to things like project management, hardware design, and cutting edge stuff in the upper level courses like security, artificial intelligence, and 3D graphics. At my college, you also have to take a large amount of mathematics, including Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Probability, which helps if you are doing scientific programming or 3D graphics.

I chose Sociology. I don't think it's a good major for aspies, but it is an interesting subject. I don't know what the hell I'm going to do with it when I get out.
