What are you majoring in? Or, what did you major in when you were in college? Did you enjoy it? If you went back to college, would you major in something else?

I'm majoring in Spanish and Applied Linguistics. I really enjoy it, but sometimes I wish I were still an art major. If I had to start over again, I'd add a minor in art.

I majored in art history when I went to college. Now I have a BA in Art History with a Museum Studies minor, and a BA in Studio Art. I just finished my MA in Art History.

Art classes are fun, but there are a lot of pre-requisites. Luckily, many of them are the same for Art History and Studio, so I didn't need to take any more classes when I decided to go for the BA in Studio.

Now I work as a photographic Assistant for the Photo dept. of a museum, so I guess my two BAs are getting use, but not my MA. This sucks because I owe almost 80,000 in student loans.

I did my BSc with specialization in animal biology. I didn't really want to focus on one group of animals because I like them all, so got to take courses in Ornithology, Mammology, Entomology... a bit of everything. I especially like the groups that don't get as much attention (invertebrates, reptiles). I was kind of disappointed that the university offered senior level courses focusing on each class of animals except reptiles and amphibians, I would have loved Herpetology... but generally, I loved my program.

I'm majoring in Sociology. I'm really interested in how society works, what its problems are, and what I can do as a sociologist to help solve those problems. I'd eventually like to use my degree to do something to help underpriveleged youth get a better chance at life, or to provide housing for the homeless.
I'm also considering a double-major in theatre, which is my other passion. It would be a lot of work, but I think it might be worthwhile in the long run.
By the way, if you're still in school, it's never too late to add a minor. Sure, it'd be a little extra work. But if you're passionate about it, don't let the chance slip by you.

I started out majoring in English and then switched to Applied Theatre Arts. (Applied Linguistics sounds really cool by the way.) I think it was a good choice, because now I'm going on to do my MLA (Master of Liberal Arts) so I get to take a lot of interesting classes that I may have missed out on doing my theatre major. Also, my ATA major was something I could complete. Given all the events that occurred while I was in college (my father died during my junior year) I don't think I would have been able to make it through a more challenging major. Not to say that I didn't work hard, but I know my work load would have been significantly higher if I had stuck with English and I think I would have had to drop out. I wouldn't have been able to take the pressure. As it was, half of my senior year was spent doing my senior project away from school, so it worked out better for me. (Wow, that's a lot more information than you probably wanted, huh?)

I majored in psychology in my undergrad. Right now I'm working on my masters in industrial/organizational psychology. If I could go back I would probably major in enviromental studies, marketing or mortuary science. haha, all seem totally unrelated but things I could see myself going into. I would have also loved to do pre-med and go to med school but I just didnt' have the strength in math to do it.

I took up a degree in Computer Engineering in college, major in Cisco Networking. Mainly, it's all about computers, and I am glad I chose that field. I am now employed as a System Admin. I love my work, because it is related to my studies, and I get to learn new things everyday. :)

I took up Accountancy is college thinking I can handle the stress and hard work needed to graduate. But I was wrong, it's a very hard course but I managed to reach my 4th year when something happened that I need to stop school. I'm going back to college next semester to finish where I left off, but I will enroll in a different school. The college I last attended looks like a building ruin than a school.

If I were to start college again, I'll chose Hotel & Restaurant Management or Tourism.
