Hey guys, so i'm just curious. If you're a college student, what are you majoring in and what are you planning to do? I'm just a college-bound senior planning to major in Comp Sci. but I keep on switching back and forth with biochemistry. Obviously i'm not just gonna have your replies influence me too much (no offense!), but i'd just like some insight on what you guys are doing, or might be doing.
I'm an International Studies Major at Cal State University Long Beach! I was initially a Economics major but switched over to International Studies as soon as I got here. I love my major! Most of it has to do with history, current world affairs, a little business/economics and a ton of government aka political science! The best part about International Studies/Political Science/ International Relations is that you can use your degree for a ton of careers, from local government to teaching, or going to law school. Best of luck in whatever you decide to study, and don't be afraid of changing your major until your heart is content!
I'm majoring in nursing right now because I love working with people improving their lives and health.
Undecided between business admin or management but I'm doing the 2 year portion at the moment anyways.
I'm in my 2nd year economics at the university of Ghent, Belgium. Next year I'll be studying a year in Sweden. The major takes 5 years and after that I'll probably do another major in the field of statistics. I will probably work at the stock market farming mesos all day.
Probably gonna study something, but I have this idea that I should do something with cooking. I love that! But, never gonna happen probably, unless I am not stressful xD
Never understood college in America because it is like everyone in America can go to college. In Belgium for example you got Universities and 'High school' (which is after 18 year old, not the one between 12-18) while it seems that everyone in UK and USA goes to college....
I have my A levels in 3 months or so and already applied to some universities; my goal is to major in Anglistics (English studies).
The word "college" in America is just the general term of a place which provides education post high school. So a university is generally understood to be a college. To get a bit technical, there are schools that have the word "College" in it, such as "Amherst College" which just denotes that it's a lesser populated school than a huge university, like "Michigan State University." In response to the topic, I'm going into biochemistry with a goal in pursuing medical school to become a physician.
Graduated from St. Johns in NYC in TV/Film Production, Business Management minor. I work for my dad, being groomed to take that over so it's looking like film/writing work on the side write now?! TLDR: still don't know what I want to do lol
Two terms away from graduating with the B.Sc. in Computer Engineering from my university (assuming all goes to plan). To those unsure what Computer Engineering is, it's the love child between Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. I don't have any major plans or goals, but I'm most likely going to continue developing software for embedded systems. Highly doubt I'm going to go for a Master's or beyond (I'm more into product development as opposed to researching).
Currently doing a BSC in Medical Microbiology and Virology at Warwick University (UK), hoping to get onto the masters course and maybe a PHD
Well, you go Secondary school (ages 11-16) then either sixth form/college (16-18) then University which is (18-21)
I'm just finishing a compsci BSc at an English university, but I also have a huge interest in biology, particularly synthetic biology. I chose to stick with the compsci degree for two reasons: 1: Generally much more employable, high average salary, and a huge amount of variety in terms of what you can do. 2: A lot of people getting into synthbio research come from a compsci background nowadays anyway, in the age of computer modelling and mail order DNA. Biochemistry is interesting but as a major you have to consider the kind of industry its going to lead you to. You can study anything as your passion whatever your degree, but the words on the parchment are what employers care about. Tldr: computer science is so desirable by so many people it opens a ridiculous amount of doors, biochem is choosing something very specific early on in your career. Side note: I've never seen an undergraduate degree that can go straight into a PhD as easily as a compsci
British here. Did a BSc in Biological Sciences (Physiology with Pharmacology), and now I'm doing a BMBS. Also in my experience, Bio degrees kinda force you to go into research (lab work) or a typical graduate job. Not that I'm against it, I just think it limits your future.
Would love to work in sparks or mechanical engineering, however I'm also looking into IT/programming My fucking high school didn't give me a math course in my senior year; I begged them to put me in trig/calculus, but I had a bad rep so they told me to fuck off ¬.¬
