What did you study/What are you studying in College/University?

[Bernkastel]

My major is Architecture, and my minor is Construction Management. I spent two years in Mechanical Engineering before switching. I have also had courses in Welding and Japanese that I thought were highly beneficial.

 

[Gelgarin]

Creative writing. Shocker.

 

[PlayTheGame]

Journalism with a minor in Communications.

 

[Harthan]

Chemical engineering. No declared minors yet but I'm tossing around the ideas of a physics, astronomy, or chemistry minor (or two of them, even, as I have a lot of excess credit).

I don't think ChemEs are allowed to get chem minors at our school for some reason. I think it's only like one or two extra classes.

As for me, Lawn Care.

 

[Captain Morgan Freeman]

At the moment im studying business information systems. I was studying computer science and IT last year but i hated it.

Chemistry would make sense, as would physics. I heard astronomy is not only a tough major, but there aren't that many jobs available.

 

[Daniel]

I was accepted to study Politics at a few universities last year, but I decided to take a year out instead. I'm preparing to do Media Studies this year.

Totes excited.

 

[Vega]

Computer science, currently working on my bachelor thesis in robotics.

You probably already know this, but whatever your ideal job is, try to choose a minor that would impress to go along with your Major that compliments it.

I picked communications as my minor, because it naturally compliments my Major of Journalism. Once I have my degree, I'll be employable in the entire news/broadcasting field, because Journalism and Communication degree experience covers it. So whatever your ideal field is, trying to completely cover it will give you a decisive advantage when applying for a job, especially for your first job.

It sounds like you have solid choices to do that with. It sounds like any of those potential minors would compliment Chemical Engineering, so you seem set. I just wanted to share this mainly for anyone else reading. Although, as I type this, it seems pretty intuitive, but when I learned about it myself from my guidance counselor, I thought it was useful information.

If someone were majoring in Physics hoping to get a job in that field, minoring in Classical Studies wouldn't do shit for you really in terms of job prospects. Sounds self-explanitory, but some people do in fact go this route because they don't have their long-term goals in mind and don't realize that college is important, and just wanna study "cool" stuff for the "fun" of it, although they have no aspirations to involve themselves in it after college. Philosophy minor also comes to mind. Damn philosophers.

 

[The Doctor]

Mass Communications.

 

[Tastycles]

Astrophysics and the History, Philosophy and Social Stuides of Science.

Masters, obviously.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

My Major was Restaurant Management

 

[Remix]

Pharmacy

Although this is normally true; it doesn't always happen. One of my fellow soon to be Architects in my program is a Music Theory minor.

BA in Accountancy & Finance but couldn't really see myself being an accountant, so now I make my living as a Delivery Office Manager with Royal Mail (Britain's USPS). The money ain't as great but it's continually stimulating, on occasion over stimulating but it's never boring.

This is the reason why I left the Mechanical Engineering field. I wanted to be a Locomotive Engineer, and I was devasted to learn that a college degree wouldn't help me become one any faster or slower than not having one.

Yeah. I know physics and chemistry would probably make my resume look just a little bit better. Astronomy would probably not, but it's so damn cool, and I can get it with like, three classes or something. If I do that I would probably do the physics as well.

Chemistry would make sense, as would physics. I heard astronomy is not only a tough major, but there aren't that many jobs available.

I have no real intentions to work in astronomy, although who knows after I take some classes. I think it would be one of those "You must absolutely get a PhD" jobs, which I wouldn't mind a lot. Still, right now, it's probably just an interesting minor.

I studied chemical engineering. I was this close to switching to chemistry sophomore year and should have switched to mathematics after senior year. Whenever I go back to school, I'll stick with math.

Do you have a degree in chemical engineering, then? I'd be interested, if you don't mind, on what you did after graduating.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

I don't have a degree in it. Sorry.

 

[Big Sexy]

I majored in Sports Management with a minor in Business Administration. I also have a Masters in Ebonics.
