Just wanted to see what everyones major was in college.

If you didnt go to college where are you working now and doing what?

If your currently in college what is your major?

If you graduated from college what was your degree and where are you working now?

If your still in Highschool what do you want to major in/ do with your life?


and Jack please dont go off on your college is for suckers tangent thanks




Ill go first.

Currently still in college majoring in.... Industrial Technology : Design & Development and a minor in Animation

 

In community college until I can transfer to a university (CU - Boulder) current major is Graphic Design with a minor in Psychology.

 

Michigan State '11
Accounting

 

took one accounting class and I could not stand it. Defiantly not my thing.

 

Didn't go to college.. Have been contemplating taking some online courses and possibly going for a bachelors degree, but honestly I don't think it really does any good.. At least not around here.

I ended up working in retail for a few years after High school, then got my Property, Casualty and Life licenses (took about a month) and sell insurance. Everyone has to have it, so I sell it.

 

Psychology... did half...never finished.

 

I don't mean to hijack, but does the insurance business pay decent? I've been doing retail the past three years and can't stand it. Unfortunately it looks like I'll be back at it because that's the only type of business with any openings anymore...

 

Flagged!!

 

I am in my last semester of college. My major is Criminology and my minor is Political Science. So i will walk in May on the 15th or 22nd. Dont have my invitations with me.

I also work full time right now (32 Hours a week which is considered full time) for the Air Force Research Labs/AFRL I am an admin for them and it is freaking boring! lol

 

Northern Arizona 2011
Major: Microbiology/ Pre-Med
Minor: Probably Chemistry, haven't officially picked one yet.
Plan to go to med school after my undergrad.

 

Darn. Seems like I'm gonna have to lose my Flagmaster Flex title

 

Eh' it's decent.. Depends primarily on what company you work for and what your role in the company is.. Life insurance sells big $$ but it's also the hardest type of insurance to sell. P&C is the bread & butter of the insurance world, that's where the stability is because everyone needs car insurance and everyone needs their homes insured.. I will tell you one thing.. It's boring as hell, if you think retail is boring, just try insurance for a week.

 

im graduating high school this year, i have been working as a window washer the job sucks but it pays good.

im all so working on get my insurance licenses so i can work for my dad.

 

Penn State 2011 (plus a semester)
Major: Energy Business and Finance
Plan to get a job after graduating and going back about a year later to get a bachelors in Mechanical Engineering Technology..best thing is that it takes only 2 years to get this degree.

but currently, my work load consists of 20% school work and 80% bullshitting. i do nothing since im not a the Main PSU campus. i just keep telling myself 5 more weeks of this place....

 

Major in Biology, minor in Chemistry, hopefully graduate in a year or so.

 

University of Central Florida 2011

Finance Major
Undecided Minor

 

Texas State 2010

Was declared as a marketing major for 3 years but I couldn't pass calc so now its a major in Sociology and a Minor in Business Administration

01FR500: That's got to be a tough major! I'm in Biology for non majors for the core requirement and that class definitely gives me problems since I haven't had a science for 4 years! haha

 

Almost forgot

Sam Houston '10 in reality probably wont be until Dec of '10

 

This thread reminded me of all the work I have to do, but I am putting off.

FML.

 

30 years industrial mechanic. Straight out of high school starting out as a machine operator. On the job training got me where I'm at, plus some various hours of technical training, seminars, and other training classes. I was lucky enough to enjoy running the Big Machines, and not be intimidated by them. Downside is I still have 15 years left before I can begin to think of retirement, and I'm not sure if I can hold out that long. Concrete Jungle will make a mess of you after 30+ years of factory work..

 

penn state '11
majoring in marketing
minoring in international business and going abroad next spring, cant wait

 

graduated in 2007 from SUNY Maritime College with a BS in facilities engineering and currently working in my homw town of New York City for the local utility company ConEdison as a power plant engineer.

 

UCF 08'
Business Management
Minor Real Estate

Going to law school this August.

 

Just finishing my last few classes for Associates. Transfering and majoring in accounting.

 

Would have been nice if I could have taken that class. I wish I had a different major almost everyday, but hopefully it will payout in the end. I have friends that have had to take the basic biology that complain, and even had to drop it more than once. And then they want to complain about how hard thier history/english/mass comm./just about anything else major is. I'd be living a stress free life if I had just about any other major I think, as long as it wasn't math, big props to those guys. Looks like mustangvsix knows what I'm talking about, with that microbiology major.

 

Grand Valley State
201?
biomedical science

hopefull by next winter I can apply to a radiology program (2 years) in my area

I currently work 2 jobs at Saint Marys Health Care one is in the main lab one is in patient pre-registration

 

Started off as an Enterainment Art/Animation major. Went to college for a few years and kind of put it on hold. Will eventually finish up and get my Bachelors. Started working for a major healthcare organization a little more than 5 years ago. Started off in the chart room just as a job and have worked my way up. I'm currently a Sr. Business Application Coordinator. The funny thing is, this job actually required a degree, but if you know some people and can kick *** in an interview, you can make things happen.

 

Graduated from California State University, Hayward with a BA in Mass Communications with an emphasis in Public Relations. What's lame is the University recently changed their name to California State University, East Bay.

I played baseball at Cal State Hayward up until my senior year and then decided that I needed to move on and start preparing myself for the real world. Looking back I should have played my senior year, but not playing it opened doors for me.

So during my senior year I did an internship with a California State Assemblymember. After my internship I was hired part time by the Assemblymember, then full time after I graduated. I spent about 2 1/2 years working between the district office and California State Capitol. After that I took a job with the County working on public policy issues and that's what I'm still doing.

I've always wanted to get into the private sector, but it's almost impossible to leave the public sector because my health and retirement benefits are so damn good.

 

I have my AS in Graphic Design and Fine Arts. I am planning on going to Flagler for some more classes. I work for Tree of Life (organic/natural foods distributor) as a Publications/Graphic Designer - designing their catalogs/ads/posters/whatever they need really.

 

seems we have a few graphic designers here...

Columbia College Chicago 2011?
BFA in Graphic Design
