majors

[strongbad]

blah deciding on a major
ahh it sucks

i've been going down the journalism path and i'm starting to realize that it really isn't for me at all.

looking into psychology at the moment. only psych class i've taken was AP psych my senior year of hs but it was a great class.
i just feel like psychology is a lot more tangible than something like journalism or business and i really want to come out of college with some solid knowledge

i really hope that this goes somewhere though. i really don't like this period of having no concrete plans for my future education

what are yal (college boyagers) studying? how do you feel about it? would you recommend it to somebody else, or is it more of a personal thing?

Computer Science

only if you like computers.

[Hippopo]

I'm majoring in fornicology.

fuckup

[spoiler]I just wanted to get that one out of the way, I was a biology major when I was in school [/spoiler]

I have two majors: Software Engineering and Math

It's mostly a personal thing for me, since programming and math are essentially the only two things I'm any good at. They just happen to be pretty good for career opportunity and potential income, but I wouldn't recommend computer science/software engineering to anybody without the mindset to actually be interested in programming. Although I intend to fulfill the major requirements for math, its priority and classload for me is more comparable to a minor.

I considered psychology too, but it's really competitive and since I was so wishy washy I decided it probably wasn't in my best interest to put all my eggs into that basket.

I'm graduating this semester with majors in political science and geography. Currently applying to graduate schools for public policy and urban planning.

I really struggle with this! Chemistry

[Socks]

I went to school for Criminal Justice, flipped over to Political Science, that went nowhere. I ended up taking so many English and History classes that I might as well graduate with two humanities, since everything else I didn't care for. But in all likely-hood, I'll either die or do something that I cannot even yet describe, save maybe for a dream.

Already graduated. 2 Associates degrees, both electronics (industrial controls, computer).

I REALLY DON'T THINK PSYCHOLOGY WOULD BE A GOOD CHoice sorry caps

If you've already decided against sciences (which imo are the only useful exploitation of college), at least do sociology or comparative religion or even fucking PHILOSOPHY FOR fuck's sake

what about something that would get you an entry into Green Architecture / Sustainable Energy / Alien Technology etc? like building farms on top of people's houses and installing outlets in the ground and other eco-babble whathaveyou?


I did a "bob dylan" where I signed for college but then never went except for 1 class (which happened to be a Psychology lecture) but then was poor so i couldn't go anyway. i wanted tolearn maths and thje Physyickal Nature 

[Samus Aran]

my major was Creative and Professional Writing (Bachelor of Fine Arts)

started going for another degree in English (Bachelor of Science) with a teaching license upon completion of the program, but i quit that

i'll probably still be going for that license fairly soon, but not with a degree attached

Why? I think it's generally interesting and it would supplement a masters in almost anything quite nicely

you learn nothing in psychology
it's interesting until you hit the harder levels and it becomes a lot of statistical analyses and equations and borders on chemistry and biology really heavily

i started with a very broad intent of "computer science", although i never officially declared. late into my second semester of freshmen year i somehow got the idea that i wanted to major in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. so that was my first officially declared major. but woooop, i got bored of that.  i have spent countless hours examining the degree courses offered by my university trying to find ventures that would interest and benefit me, and i guess smoking weed briefly got me to declare myself a photojournalism major with a computer technology minor. and now i'm stuck in the boat of not being in school. and i'm still completely undecided of what my major will be

psychology has always been a great interest, and i have really enjoyed the psych faculty here so far. i feel i'm capable of getting a bachelor's in psych. but i always psych myself out of that idea because i feel like that would be of no use unless i get at least a masters or, of course, a doctorate. and i feel i wouldn't be able to handle that much school financially. i'm not sure if i could ever bring myself to ever actually do it though

other times i get heavily interested in cultural studies or other languages and consider a focus on that area, and eventually convince myself i'm not good enough for that so i don't do it


tl;dr
i'm undecisive, i make poor decisions because im not very confident and i'm afraid of having even less money

Maybe they should just call the major psychiatry instead
