<p>The reason why I’m asking is because after years and years, I still am not sure what I’m going to do with my life. I am asking all you who have plans, and how you developed your aspirations.</p>
<p>Comp sci & engineering because I feel like it is a stable and a good money making job. Also, my father was in the engineering department, and now works with computers. He influenced me and I feel like that this major will be good for the future b/c technology continues to develop and grow more advanced.</p>
<p>civil engineering was the plan because that’s what my parents are. my dad does structural engineering and my mom is in environmental engineering. I wanted to have the option of doing both, but because I’m planning on enrolling at UCSD, the choice has been made for me: structural</p>
<p>I did take a Johns Hopkins crash intro course to engineering, and I definitely liked the civil engr aspects of it, so I’m happy with my choice.</p>
<p>Computer science. The job market for software developers and analysts has been on fire for the past couple decades. We hardly step out of our beds without touching or seeing something that involves some form of software. Thus, I’ve become very interested in the employment prospects that CS offers immediately after graduation. My main reason for attending college is to enhance my employability. I’ve also taken a few programming classes at my CC. Found that they were relatively easy for me to pass with As, and they were pretty fun too (programs are like big puzzles)!</p>
<p>I feel that we’re innately driven to pursue things that come naturally. Is there a specific subject/area of study you find most interesting? There must be SOMETHING :)</p>
<p>Biochemistry. I’m going into pre-med.</p>
<p>Aerospace Engineering - I plan to be a tester pilot</p>
<p>ditto with the CS! programming is fun, and there’s definitely a long future for computers in our society.</p>
<p>Aerospace Engineering because I want to be able to vouch for people when they compare something difficult to rocket science.</p>
<p>Really, though, my ideal major would be astrophysics, but I realized that I didn’t want to sit in an observatory all day, I wanted to win the Nobel Prize–something which I am intellectually incapable of doing. That and I also considered the prospect of maintaining a steady job (my father has been laid off three times in the last three years). So, being fascinated by flying contraptions all of my life, I found aerospace engineering to be a good balance between my love of space and design, and practicality in terms of having a career (I have connections at JPL, so I hope to intern there after my first year of school and hopefully work there in the future).</p>
<p>Ditto ditto for comp sci. Basically what’s been said.</p>
<p>I am majoring in sociology because I love learning about people and societies. I know I won’t end up making a ton of money, but I’m ok with that :)</p>
<p>I swear, it seems like I’m the only bioengineering major around here!</p>
<p>Anyway, I love bio, anatomy, physiology, etc. However, throughout high school I discovered I had a particular aptitude in math and physics. Thus I figured that bioengineering (hope to pursue biomechanics) would be the perfect amalgamation of all!</p>
<p>physiology and neuroscience
don’t even know if I like it but I will fight through everything! (or change it to something else later)
one side I want to go to med school but the other side I want to go to business school
but my alternate was management science</p>
<p>I am majoring in Bioengineering! Machine assisting the natural systems to better maintain and perfect the organic…that’s very interesting to me.</p>
<p>i am surprised i havent seen a Bio major here yet but thats me! gen bio that is. i want to do some sort of research. i really want to do development with stem cells. I really like cell bio</p>
<p>Aerospace engineering, for a few reasons.</p>
<p>First, because the obvious reasons of economic stability.</p>
<p>Second, because I want to be able to show off like someone above said about comparing things to rocket science.</p>
<p>Third, because I believe that I want to do something productive for the economy that produces tangible, sellable goods. I am a firm believer in that the BA is a waste of time and money (really, *** is a major in chicano studies going to to?).</p>
<p>Most importantly, I want to see humanity leave Earth and colonize other bodies. Lots of reasons for this; I could quote Hawking all day but I’ll leave it as that. No to mention Mass Effect.</p>
<p>Human biology. Cause I love biology, and looking at it in relation to us is the most interesting to me!</p>
<p>If I were better at math, I’d love to do econ of some sort I think though. I haven’t taken it before now, and I’m really enjoying it.</p>
<p>Double major in physics and mathematics. Because they are beautiful.</p>
<p>when can you double your major? just wondering</p>
<p>You usually have to apply to double major at your school and get approved as far as I know. I plan to apply for a double major once I transfer.</p>
<p>ok thanks so you are now a student at ucsd? which college are you in?</p>
