What did you/do you want to major in?

yolo

How this question help you?

It’s not a question.

It includes a question word (“What”) and a question mark at the end ("?") so it’s very clearly a question. Who cares how it does or doesn’t help? Maybe they’re just curious.

Engineering for me, possible minor in Spanish.

Since the OP asked this question in “College Search & Selection”, I’m asking how the strangers’ answers would help OP to choose school?

@NASA2014 Please explain to me how this isn’t a question…
@4kidsdad I’m just curious as to what people are interested in. Just trying to get some ideas.
@bodangles Thank you! Any particular engineering branch?

Not sure what the point of this thread is, but I’ll play.

Ancient history: I planned on a math/pre-med major; organic chemistry persuaded me that med school was not in my future, so I switched my to math; finite dimensional vector spaces made me switch to psych; and then I went to law school. My D, on the other hand, started in classics and is now in grad school in essentially the same field.

Classics or law?

I’m thinking chemical. Was biomedical but don’t want to do grad school. I won’t technically be in a specific major for another semester yet.

One of my kids started out art, switched to biology, and finally settled on medical technology. Another was thinking about electrical engineering, but selected the computer engineering. Another also was thinking about chemical engineering, organic chemistry persuaded him to choose the mechanical engineering.

@4kidsdad : Dang that ambiguity. I meant her field, not mine. I.e., ancient history & archaeology as a subset of classics. :wink:

Social work.

Political Science. Minor in Religious Studies/Theology. I’m “pre-law” but I really hate that term.

Currently majoring in math w/ computer science.

I’m part of a new major at the school I’m transferring to. The major is called computational linguistics. I have a real love for languages (possibly influenced by years of speech therapy and ESL classes) and I’ve always liked computers, so it seemed like a nice major that marries the two. I do plan to perhaps go onto to graduate school and earn a proper computer science degree (hopefully with a focus on data science or machine learning). For now though, it’s comp ling and not a single person I’ve spoken to seems to know what it is sadly :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m currently a computer science and math double major with minors in music and dance.

Lol But if money and time weren’t an issue, I’d probably have like 15 majors. Other subjects Id “like” to major in include: psychology, criminal justice, healthcare studies, linguistics, women gender and sexuality studies, theater, Latin, Italian, French, etc.

I went to Community College and got my Associate’s Degree in Math.

Then I transferred to a local university and got both my Bachelor’s and Master’s in Secondary Math Education.

Currently biochem on a pre-med track. Considering getting a minor in art if I have time.

@zettasyntax <<>> YAY!

Most of my career was in Artificial Intelligence. My grad degree was in Computer Science (with a side program in air pollution meteorology, which led to my first job doing pollution dispersion modeling for a state Department of Natural Resources). In high school, I wanted to major in Aerospace Engineering and that was my first major until I got a co-op job actually doing engineering work and decided it was not for me. I contemplated switching to BioMed Engineering until I took my first college biology course. Yuck. So then I switched to Physics and that was my undergrad degree. I even taught math and physics for two years until I went back to grad school. A research job with the AI Lab in Carnegie-Mellon’s Computer Science Dept finally led to what I REALLY wanted to do with the rest of my career. All-in-all, it took me twelve years after high school to finally figure out what I wanted to do,

Both of my sons, however, started with their majors (math and film) and finished that.
