<ul>
<li><p>For those who plan to work, will you be doing so in your area of major? (Please state what your major is & what job you will be pursuing)</p></li>

<p>I’m trying to get at least 6 responses for a short research article I’m working on this week for a Communications course. </p>
<p>Major is preprofessional pharmacy, obviously I plan on going to pharmacy school after that.</p>
<p>I chose the field because I enjoy the health professions, and wanted a job in the health field without the extreme stress and long hours faced by doctors. I’ve always enjoyed chemistry and biology, and I worked in a pharmacy when I was 16, and got close to one of the pharmacists there. The fact that pharmacists rarely if ever bring their work home with them, and also the prospect of high pay right out of school made the field more appealing to me.</p>
<p>My major is communication sciences and disorders. Career goal: speech pathologist (although I could become an audiologist with this major if I wanted)
I will be going straight to grad school. I have to have a masters to get certified as an SLP
I chose this field because I wanted to help people, especially kids. Didn’t want the debt of med school, or have the science interest to survive premed. Nurses are abused too badly, and don’t have enough time to work with their patients. And although I want to work with kids I have no desire to be a teacher. I took an intro course for this major last spring, and we had to do observations in the speech clinic on campus. The entire time that I was sitting behind that double sided mirror I could totally see myself working on the other side of it.</p>
<p>For the marriage question: I have no plans at this point, but if it does happen it definitely will NOT interfere with my continuing with school</p>
<p>I am also a comm science and disorders major, but I want to specialize in working with the d/Deaf population. I was also considering going for a dual major with music therapy because I lack musical talent to be a performing virtuoso and I’ve seen what music can do to help people. It seems like an interesting career option to have. It’s just a consideration though. I DEFINATELY plan on going to graduate school. There is no question in my mind. I’m also going to get a Ph.D, hopefully. I do want to get my fair share of travelling in there, but my education comes first.</p>
<p>I would really like to have the opportunity to study abroad, probably in England, Australia, or somewhere else in Europe. Australia and England would probably be best for my major because they’re speaking some variation of English, and I know that quite a few universities in Australia offer speech path so I think I could more easily do a study abroad there. There’s about a thousand other places I want to travel to that have nothing to do with school :)</p>
<p>I’m not completely sure why I picked speech path. It just kind of fell on me one day when I was in a sign language class and I saw a deaf girl learning how to speak and I thought hmm. That looks really cool. I did an intership with preschoolers who were in speech therapy and I absolutely fell in love with it. For a while though, I wanted to do some other careers, but I just felt that speech therapy would be something I’d be good at. Now if I go after the other major, that’s just because music is something I love and I feel that it has incredible healing power. But like I mentioned before, I don’t really have the talent needed for it so it’s an up in the air kind of thing.</p>
<p>I do plan on getting married eventually, be it when I’m in grad school or not, but it will not interfere with my education. Whoever I marry will have to understand that my education is important to me, and I’m very dedicated to it.</p>
<p>Major was sociology, went directly to medical school.</p>
<p>I’d wanted to be a doctor since I was three years old, and it’s been the one constant throughout my life. I mean I’ve always, always wanted to be a doctor.</p>
<p>As I grew older, I realized that being a physician coincided with my personality and my strengths extremely well. I’m a social person who likes meeting new people and talking to them. However, at the same time I enjoy the science but not to the level where I could ever be happy doing ONLY science. Medicine provides a good balance between the two.</p>
<p>I suppose it’s important to put what I would have done had I not gone to medical school. I more than likely would have decided to go to grad school to get my Masters and PhD in a field like student administration or leadership education with the ultimate goal of becoming the Director of Greek Affairs at a university. This is a job that I didn’t realize existed until I was a freshman, or that I would have enjoyed doing until late in my junior year. Again it goes back to being social, working with people and the like. It would combine my passion and believe in the benefits of fraternities and sororities on college campuses with the social characteristics I need. </p>
<p>As for marriage - I need a girlfriend first, but it would not alter my education. I do know people who asked for deferments from medical school b/c they were getting married so it does happen.</p>
<p>College students, what is your major and what do you plan to do after you graduate? Are you planning to work, travel or continue on to graduate school?</p>
<p>Geology. In graduate school currently, recently obtained my MS, working towards my PhD. </p>
<ul>
<li><p>For those who plan to work, will you be doing so in your area of major? (Please state what your major is & what job you will be pursuing)</p></li>
<li><p>For those who plan to travel, any special place you plan to visit? If so, why have you chosen this location?</p></li>
<li><p>For those who intend to continue their education, why have you selected your field for graduate study?</p></li>
</ul>
<p>I selected to continue in graduate-level work not only because I love to learn and research, but I plan to teach at the post-secondary level someday and graduate school is involved in my career goal.</p>
<ul>
<li>And finally, are any college students or recent graduates planning on marriage soon after university? If you are planning on marriage, what are your work or study plans?</li>
</ul>
<p>Yes, planning on marriage. I’m currently engaged and have been for 1 1/2 years. Graduate school has had an impact on my ability to get married when I want to because I really don’t have time or the resources available to me to get the planning done in a reasonable time.</p>
<p>College students, what is your major and what do you plan to do after you graduate? Are you planning to work, travel or continue on to graduate school?</p>
<p>I’m a theatre major, dance minor. I plan to work after school, if I’m lucky</p>
<ul>
<li>For those who plan to work, will you be doing so in your area of major? (Please state what your major is & what job you will be pursuing)</li>
</ul>
<p>ophiolite, are you studying at the University of Wisconsin-Madison? I’m seriously considering applying for the Geography graduate program there. How do you like the school/community?</p>
<p>I started out as a middle grades education major. I was a non-traditional student, and I was putting myself thorugh college. A stupid rule that would not allow me to work while doing my senior block caused me to change majors and get a polisci degree with a history minor. I went into police work and got a MPA. Now I’m a sergeant and oversee our hiring process and research grants; so, I guess you could say I actually use my grad degree on the job in a true sense, but all of the organizational and writing skills that I developed as an undergrad help me on a daily basis.</p>
<p>I’m also an adjunct instructor at a juco; so, I use my masters there.</p>
<p>I am a history major currently. I have always been interested in history, and it just seems natural to go into the history field. I will continue on the graduate school and probably a PhD program. I want to eventually teach at a college level, probably. At any rate, I’m not stopping now, I will just continue on from now to PhD in a stretch of time. I’m already 23, so I don’t want to waste anymore time. I would love to study abroad in England, France or Italy. I want to specialize in Medieval or Renessaince History so those places would be benefitial to me. </p>
<p>I would consider marriage, but I’d have to have a boyfriend, lol!</p>
<p>My major is apparel merchandising with minor in french. I am planning on getting a job after I graduate, hopefully pretty soon after so I don’t have to go live with my mom again. I’d like to travel but probably won’t have the means to do so unless it’s travelling somewhere to get a job there. </p>
<p>Hopefully getting a job in that area. I want to be a visual merchandiser, which is the person who pretty much sets up the layouts of stores, how the mannequins go, what departments go where, etc. I’d take pretty much any job related to that area though. If I do travel at all, I’d like to go to either France or Italy, since they both have major fashion areas. </p>
<p>I’m not currently dating anyone, but I don’t want to get married until I’m like 30, so probably not. Marriage does not interest me at this point. </p>
<p>(Btw, I’m only a sophomore so obviously these plans may change in the next 2 years)</p>
