What is/was your major in college?

Psychology. I waited until the latest possible time to decide on a major because I was interested in so many different things. I picked psychology based on really enjoying a psychopharmacology class (so basically, because drugs are interesting! ). I went on to get my doctorate in neuroscience and have a job in my field today, so it worked out nicely.

I have a BA in both Spanish and French and an MA in Spanish.

I started undergrad as a biology major since I had graduated from a science and math charter high school, but quickly realized that I actually loved Spanish and was good at languages in general (I also took several courses in Mandarin Chinese, Italian, Japanese, German and Arabic). So I went with my interests.

I have been teaching college Spanish for three years and I hate it. I love the actual teaching, but hate the job--administration BS, university politics, being overworked and underpaid, having to teach lower-level required classes to students who have no desire to learn anything...which would only slightly improve if I shelled out big bucks and time for a PhD (not happening).

I am currently trying to get back into giving private lessons and tutoring (which I did all throughout undergrad and grad school--I loved it and got paid well) while simultaneously brainstorming options to do something else...

elementary education, which opens doors for interviews with preschools/daycares all the time. however, hate to sound negative, but i want to see if others went through the same thing?

I went to the wrong university. BYU in Provo, UT, although a really good school, they were very discriminatory, and didn't like anyone who was different. I was unique and bold, and they had a target on me the whole time. they didn't allow me to finish up my student teaching (no serious reasons) and now moving from Utah to WA state I may have to go back to school all over again to finish up my certification, because of what they did. More money and time, and I am pretty upset. I am thinking of a lawsuit against them and speaking to the president! but they don't care about their students! meanwhile, I have had to take low paying jobs because I can't teach without a certification.

A degree doesn't really do much, especially in education!!!!

BSc in Management and Systems Science, because I'm lame and love math, business, and programming! Initially I just wanted to major in business, but I found that it wasn't challenging enough and I stumbled upon this lovely major. Is it sad to say I love studying the topics of my current major? haha
