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 -
My major is Nutritional Science0

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

I went to college knowing I wanted to be an English major, because I love reading and writing papers, and thats all I really wanted to do. Unfortunately, I didnt know what I would do with such a degree, so I started out taking education classes also. Decided I wanted nothing to do with teaching and decided to go to law school instead. Then during law school I decided I would join the military!
B.A. in English, with minors in pre-law and philosophy
J.D. (law degree)
Now on active duty with the US Air Force serving as a JAG lawyer.
One day I want to go back to school and get a PhD in English, though. Glad I will have the GI Bill in the future because I am still paying back my massive law school loans.0 -
• Did 4 semesters (including early entry summer) as Electrical Engineering with Physics minor...
• Hated it, so switched to Liberal Arts and Sciences (LASC), which was a combo of 3 minors: Computer Science, Statistics, and Business
• My full-ride scholarship was tied to Engineering, so that one semester of LASC was fully out-of-pocket *OUCH*. Since my college choice was based on Engineering, figured might as well go home and attend college locally.
• Started working full-time and attending local community college part-time for Information Systems. Slow going because I had limited credit transfer and couldn't test/place out of mandatory courses that were "beneath" my level at the time.
• Got a job in IT based on self-taught skills; dropped out of college completely and haven't looked back.
Currently in year 20 of an IT career making 6-figures... so I think that's not bad for a (non-entrepreneurial) college dropout who refuses to go into managerial roles. However, I readily admit that luck played a role and I likely wouldn't have had the same success in today's world.0 -
Interior Design... worked in banking for 12-years. Go figure.0
-
Sociology (children and sports), Criminology, and Mass Media Communications (Radio mostly)
I have three bachelors degrees.0 -
BS in Information Technology
Currently working on my MS in Information Technology as well. It's much harder this time around (also because I'm going to a much better school for my masters than I did for my BS.)0 -
1st 2 years in college was studying nursing but took a break and earned my BA in Criminal Justice :bigsmile:0

Interior Design... worked in banking for 12-years. Go figure.
Lol... mine is just as useful. I have a degree in Sociology with a emphasis in Social Welfare. I have been in banking for 11 years now. :-)0 -
I got my BA in English knowing it's a broad field and I could go into a few different areas. I'm going back for my Master's this spring but still haven't settled on a program... either Public Relations, Mass Comm, or Student Affairs in Higher Ed.0

When I look at the peripheral costs (books and such) and see the outrageous prices charged to these kids, it makes me sick. Charging a student $200+ for a book is unconscionable. It's a scam.
Yes, it is.....0
