What is/was your major in college?

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!

Electrical Engineering with a Specialization in Military Intel and a Minor in Mathematics.

Its a fun major!

I have an AA in Criminal Justice. I am getting my BA in Psychology: Child and family development and then one day want a Masters in Social Work.

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.

:happy:

B.S. in Exercise Science minor in Liberal Health. Not using it, I work for Enbridge. Will be going back to school for Mechanical Engineering.

I'm going for my AA in Sociology at the moment. Hope to one day work with military veterans once I graduate with my BA.

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.

Oh! And my roommate through all of college was a Speech Language Pathology major
She is starting grad school in the fall.
Best of luck to you! I was always interested in that stuff when she talked about it!

BS in Journalism. I've never used it. What a waste of money that was. Wish I'd never gone to college because I could have done what I do now without it.

It was going to be microbiology, or something with genetics, maybe.
I got married and had 3 kids with only 2 yrs of college.
My boys are older, I am 41 and think I want to get certified as a medical interpreter for the Deaf.

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...

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!

I have a Bachelor of Science in Human Resource Management and a Masters in Social Work. But now I do neither. I am a fitness coach because that is really my passion

I would love to put my name on your degrees lol.

Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems with a concentration in Network Security. Graduating next spring and then I'll be pursuing a master's degree.

B.S. in Elementary Education minor in English
