For those who went to college, what did you major in & why? What majors were you thinking of before deciding on that one? Or was that the only one on your mind?

When I graduated from High School, I took a 10 month course for web design in a vocational school. After that, I did multimedia for two years, and I am currently in the game design course in another college but I am thinking about quitting.

Sounds like you might want to take a break and assess what you want to do with your life, I dont know. Just my suggestion! I went through about 10 ideas before I finally decided what I wanted to do. I had time to think about it because after my first semester and a community college, I decided to take a break and do a lot of research and explore my interests and I found that Marketing/Business stood out the most & would be the most profitable and most enjoyable for me as a person.

I majored in English Literature when I was in university. The reason was simple lame. I heard that in other departments, the students were really busy, but for English department, the students have more time to do other things. I love English and therefore, it sounds good to me to have more time to do my other stuff*smiles*.

I was a single Mom of two so, I had to wait until I was 30 and my son was 13 before I got a chance to go to college. I had been kicked out of high school at 15 for being pregnant and gotten my GED. I had no idea what I wanted to take when I passed the exam to gain entrance into college but I knew I wanted something that would make a lot of money. LOL I ended up getting a four year degree in Computer Science and went from making 13,000 a year to making 90,000 a year after graduating. Now, I quit my job and I am a stay at home Mom to two more kids that my husband and I adopted. We are actually working on adopting a third!

Yeah, $13,000 to $90,000 a year is an awfully big difference, aha! I need to get back into college here & get a good career going for me! Most i'm going to be pulling off in the near future is probably about $25,000+ a year.

I majored in Accounting. I wanted to take up Political Science or Psychology but my father convinced me to take up Accounting instead since its easier to find a job with that course. Well, I think he is right but there is still this part of me that wonders where will I be now if I pursued what I had wanted in terms of major.

Psychology you have to go to school for forever, and classes are insanely hard! Or at least, the ones I dealt with seemed to be which is what turned me away from it. I didnt want to go to school for a whole other 5 or 6+ years of schooling lol, nosireee!

Marketing major for me! I want to run my own business,:P Financial advisory of some sort is what i'm thinking.

My major was psychology. I was only able to complete one year as both my parents became ill and needed my undivided attention. I never did return to get my degree and have regreted it ever since that time. Was married at the time I attended and had children. The schedule was a bit too hectic.
