What Is/Was Your College Major?

Biology major...haven't entered the real world yet
i'm hoping to go to med school

Business Management in the Automotive Industry, Fluid Mechanics-Engineering & now Managerment Information Systems

Will have my BA in Homeland Security Jan '12 and then undecided what Masters program I will pursue but it is between Criminal Justice, Intelligence, Law, and Terrorism. For the most part I do use my degree but I would hope to use it more when I move back to the East Coast.

What is/was your college major?

If you have graduated, do you find your major useful or do you wish you got it in something else?

What do you guys think is the best college major to get a job out of college?

I'm deciding between (gonna probably do 1 major, 1-2 minors): economics, health care management, business management, anthropology, finance, and political science.

Well, I'm majoring in Criminal Justice and minoring in Spanish, Sociology, Psychology, and maybe Computer Science. After that it's off to law school, hopefully NYU (I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one). I eventually want to work for the FBI and was told by some former agents that law school and speaking Spanish will help tremendously. The CJ major is just because I enjoy it and it comes easy to me. Law school doesn't require a certain major either so. That being said, there's not really anything that requires a CJ degree and there's not a whole lot you can do with it that you couldn't (probably) do without it.
I think you should base your major off of what you want to be doing in the future, not what you think is the best major. If you're just going into college I would look into taking some intro classes in things you're interested in until you figure out what's best for you. You could also try talking to an advisor. My advisors have all been extremely helpful. I'm only a junior, but I've changed my major like 5 times and it's no big deal. Good luck! College is great, so don't worry or stress too much

I'm currently studying a BA (hons) in Documentary Film and Television in Wales :-)

I plan to be a nurse practitioner mid-wife someday. . . for now I'm working on my BANursing

I majored in Electrical Engineering for 2.5 years, then changed majors to Art w/a concentration in Graphic Design. I have worked as a Web Designer ever since.

I feel my Art major combined with my engineering background, gave me a leg up on most other Web Designers. In my field we have designers (artists) and coders (engineers)... I do both!!! Score!

BS in Health and Physical Education. I got a job before I even graduted. First three years I had no issue with getting jobs. However, the economy has hit education hard and I have currently been out of work for the last year.

I started as a music education major and quickly realized the job field was bad so I dropped out of college and went back years later to get an Associate's Degree in Medical Assisting. I've actually not had an opportunity to work in my field because I got pregnant again last year (Surprise!) but feel I'll do just fine when I do go work in the field. Aside from the fact that I live in Nashville-- the "medical capital of the US"--I also have 8 years experience in health insurance so I'm hoping to work in an office somewhere rather than the clinical side. I see tons of jobs posted so the field is strong here.

I'm graduating in december with my Biomedical Science degree with minors in chemistry and philosophy. I hope to find a research position when i'm done graduating than go on to PA school.

If you like helping people I'd go into healthcare. There are ALWAYS jobs in healthcare!!

GOOD LUCK!

Im an English major with a Spanish minor.

I really want to go into editing or publishing, anything to do with helping with writing!

If you like math, go to school to be an Actuary. Best-paid job that requires only a Bachelors degree. Engineers also get paid well with just a B.S. and have good job prospects. Check out the Bureau of Labor Statistics for info on the jobs with the best career outlooks, and then decide on a major based on what you'll be likely to get a job in.

Oh, I majored in Biology. I work in research so yeah, I needed the degree, but I'm trying to get into Optometry school for next year.

It may only require a Bachelors degree, but there is 7 years + of further qualifying and exams afterwards that even really bright mathematicians struggle with. My school friend finally qualified at 31, having gone into it straight from uni at 22.

This was me!!! I went to school to be an actuary (major in econ and minor in math, both with emphasis on statistical analysis) and then I decided I couldn't stand sitting still that long behind a computer. I am now a regulatory compliance auditor for a medical device company. I do not use my education for anything other than understanding statistical techniques. I am happy that I have my degree because it helps me stand out from business majors, but as some previous people say, experience is the key.

well i'm going to a technical school but its for medical assisting

I took a long break to have my babies. Starting back in Spet. (sent out my app yesterday! :noway: ) to continue working on getting (eventually) a MS in Health Science (R.D).:laugh: My oldest and I may graduate at the same time lol!

I recieved a Bachelors of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies

Big name for a degree to be an English educator (4-8)

My majors were English and education

Can't find a job...kinda regretting not getting a degree in business or something medical now..
