Started off Comp Sci but switched to Psych thanks to Calculus 2. Graduated w/ a BS in Psych (Cognitive studies), minors in Spanish, Archaeology, and Alcohol. Got a job in computer operations & programming about 23 years ago, been there ever since... So yeah, all over the place. :laugh: Just goes to show life doesn't always follow the plan!0

I have a BA in Business Education which allows me to teach business classes to grades 7 - 12 (or 5 or 6 - 12 depending on the state). I chose it because I loved all of my business classes, loved working in the business world, and wanted to give my students some useful skills so they could get better jobs post-high school. Because of my business classes in high school, I was able to work in banks and other such nice jobs to put myself through college while the rest of my friends were working harder/longer hours slinging hash for less money.
ANYWAY. That was in 1993, and my job has kind of evolved over the years so now I teach mainly computer-related courses such as web design, computer tech, etc. I still teach marketing and entrepreneurship.
I digress. I received a full-ride scholarship to receive my masters degree a few years back, so that is in Instructional Technology and Learning Sciences with an emphasis in Distance Education. I think online schooling is the wave of the future, and I'm riding that wave, baby! In fact, I teach from home right now for an online charter school. I love it!
Best of luck! Speech and Language people are ALWAYS needed, so if you go that route, you will be able to get a job. But really, anything in education isn't a waste of time if you have a love of learning and young people.

Majored in English with a Minor in Asian studies.
Yep, high demand field.....totally worth the 200k I invested in it. Woohoo, private liberal arts colleges!
I feel your pain!
I did history because I like it and wanted to be a researcher, conservator, curator or something fancy like that.
Also, 6-12 teaching because my parents are educators and I was almost done with college, realized I couldn't afford my masters for about 2 decades and then thought, well what in the world does one do with a bachelors in history? Of course I live in Illinois with the $100 billion pension crisis so there are less than no teaching jobs.
It is truly a useless degree. Damn my useless interests.
I currently work in an office making barely enough to pay my bills and those damn loans.
I have bad decision making skills.0 -

I majored in Business Administration - the New High School Diploma - after first trying Accounting and Info Tech.
Now I find myself interested in HR as more of a paper-pusher than I go out and shake hands HR person. Problem: I didn't go to school for it, my experience is 5 years old (thanks recession), I don't have any "hook ups" and I refuse to give the rest of my life to Sallie Mae.
So I suffer...0 -

Originally I majored in Long Term Health Care because growing up my grandmother watched soap operas and the hospital administrator jobs looked so interesting. But I dropped out after one year.
I went back MANY years later and changed my major. I now have an AA in Psychology, a BS in Psychology with a concentration in Applied Behavioral Analysis and am currently working on a MS in Psychology with a concentration in Health Psychology, which I will complete next year.
I would love to actually get a Ph.D. in the field but the thought of continuing my education past my master's degree for another 4-7 years literally makes me homicidal!0 -
Finished a journeymen in Electronics Assembly and then went back for a major in English with a minor in sociology... and never finished.0
