What's your major?
Does anyone have a major, or know what career they want to major in when they're in college?
I'm a sophomore in college, and I'm majoring in Photography. I'm one hundred percent sure that's what I want to do, but I'm not sure if I want to be a still photographer for the movies, or a crime scene photographer. What about you? ^^ |
Ohhh, crime scene photgraphy sounds extremely interesting! I'd probably spew if I had to do that though. >_>; Go you!
I'm a sophomore in highschool myself. D: I'm thinking of majoring in either screenwriting, psychology, theater, dance, or anything else that'll spark my interests by the time I'm ready to decide. xD I'm mainly focusing on screenwriting, theater, and psychology in my mind. Dance was just something that occured to me in my mind the other day, "Ohhh... I've always wanted to learn to dance, maybe I should start, and if it takes off I'll major in that in college..." Ah, the pointlessness of tons of dreams... xD I'd also probably see myself in minoring in French and Creative Writing. |
At my high school you can have a general major and take classes pertaining to it. Its a magnet high school. n 0n
My major is engineering. In college, I'm going to major in Material Science/Engineering and Nanotechnology, with a minor in Mechanical engineering. n_n |
Major = Degree, am i right?
Well, i'm still in my first of two or three years of college, studying biology, psychology and environmental science. At the moment, i want to go on to study zoology at university. |
I majored in "International Tourism" bit of a pointless subject really, but it got me to Australia (on an exchange program) for 6 months with 2 days of classes and 5 day weekends, so it worked for me.
I wanted to do Psychology more than anything or Journalism...or both. But when I graduated school I was thinking I couldn't afford further education, so I got a full time job and didn't apply to any Universities. My circumstances changed just before University classes were due to start and I found I could afford to go. However by that time all the good classes were full. I called so many different universities looking for Psych. Journalism and even English vacancies, but none had any. After a week of calling around and getting nowhere and it getting to 3 days before classes started everywhere, I called one place they said "Sorry our psychology classes are full, but try the tourism department" o_o Which seemed kind of weird, but I was that fed up with calling around, I did what they said and found myself doing Tourism o_0 I would have liked to be a Marriage Guidance Counselor or a Travel Writer, but instead I'm co-managing my parents holiday complex o_o It's weird how life works out. But I'm happy with what I'm doing at the moment, so I guess it all works out for the best ^.^ |
I'm not yet in college but I'll either have a History degree or a get a lisence in Funeral Home Derector
|
Honestly, I think I would too! *cringe*
So, right now, I'm leaning towards Still Photography for the movies. ^^;; Screenwriting? What's that again? Drew a blank. ^^;; That's something to do with the movies, yeah? I definitely want to take up Italian, and learn it fluently, since I am Italian. Well, seventy-five percent Italian, twenty-five percent Assyrian. And proud of it! *big grin* haha But yeah, I took two years in high school, so I want to more classes in college. (Grr, my dog is on my bed! D: xD hahaha) |
I'm only a sophomore in college...so my major is considered pre-business or undecided business.
But I think I'm probably going to go into Finance....So I'll be business Finance, and then after I get my Bachelor's in that I'm going to get my Master's in Library Sciences. ^^ yay for librarians. |
Right now I'm still in high school. I have two more years before I get the hell outta here. I have no idea what I want to major in at all. I keep changing my mind what I want to be. T_T One day I'll hopefully figure it out... Hopefully. Dx

@neur0mancer - Ooh, sounds like something way beyond my comprehension! xD haha
Good luck with that! ^^ @Sun - Yeah, major is the same thing as degree. ^^ At least I'm pretty sure it is! xD haha Zoology? Sounds interesting! ^^ What career in zoology do you want to pursue? @Ebil - Hey, whatever happens, happens for a reason, yeah? As long as your happy doing what you do, then that's all that matters. ^^ @Clair Voyant - Why does your name seem familiar to me? *puzzled* What exactly does the latter option entail? @Majinkoz - I love reading so freaking much! >< hahaha So what is Library Sciences, exactly? EDIT: @Sadistix_Love - Hey, being undecided is normal. My best friend was undecided, but now she knows what she wants to do. Everyone figures it out at their own pace, yeah? ^^ |
I'm looking into Anthrozoology, which is studying animal/human relations and behavior. I'm not 100% sure which branch yet though.
|
Major... I'm an Illustration major in my senior year of college. I'm about to be spit into the real world, hoshit xD; I have no idea where I'm going to go with the style of work I do, however. A little on the frightening side, really.

But I want to do something I enjoy but that doesn't disappoint my parents as well. :X Which is quite hard unless all the sudden I become to sort of celebrity. =w=; Though I suck at dramam. xD |
@Sun - Oh, that sounds very interesting. Awesome, good for you! *grin*
@Ise - Illustration, nice! Do you have to draw nude models? Because that's what my friends have to do at AIB (The Art Institute of Boston) when they take drawing classes. Photography majors (thank God!) don't have to take drawing classes. But that was back in Boston. Now I'm at WestConn, and I [i]do[i] have to take drawing classes, but I asked my advisor, and she found an alternative drawing class where I don't have to draw nude models. *relief* Wow, senior, eh? I can't imagine how scary it is, but I bet that when I get there, realization will dawn on me, and I'll be as scared as heck! xD EDIT: @Sadistix_Love - Denturist? What is that? I've known that I wanted to do Photography since I was a sophomore in High School! xD I know that whatever I wanted to do, my parents would be proud. ^^ Why would that be hard? |
@dark: A denturist is a person who makes dentures. :3 You know, when old people loose all of their teeth they would need fake ones? Aka dentures. :3
Lol, my parents are a bit traditional and since they lived through war and poverty, they want me to do something along the lines of doctor or lawyer. Somethine like computer games, they would kill me unless it's for some big company like Walt Disney or something. DDx |

I love model drawing, but then again I love drawing people. Nude models haven't fazed me past the first half hour of that first class freshman year. It gets to be very objective, you're just trying to get it right and learn the proportions, anatomy, mark making etc. Aie, yeah. I'm stressing rather badly things to my senior project classes and the fact that I don't know where I'm going to go. The prospect of living here in New York City is very daunting and not to mention exceedingly expensive. So I'm not sure. |
@Sadistix_Love - Oh, I see. ^^
I kinda know what that's like. My best friend, her parents are kinda like that. They're from India, and they want her to do something with medicine, or be a doctor, or whatever, you know? Well, my best friend wants to do something with medicine anyways, so... yeah. xD But it must be tough. I couldn't imagine doing something I don't like for the rest of my life just to please my parents. ): I hope it all works out for you. ^^ @Clair Voyant - What do I mean about what? Your name sounding familar, or when I asked what the latter option entailed? @Ise - o: Oh, wow. haha xD At AIB, I went right into my major, but it was an art school, and the academics were tough. I didn't get in because of my academics, but because of my portfolio, so I transfered to WestConn after finishing my year at AIB. I had no choice anyways, because I wasn't able to go back, but it all worked out, and I like WestConn better than AIB. The teachers are great, and the classes are easier. ^^; I do miss the city though. It was my first time in a city, and I fell in love with it! <3 haha Wow, New York, eh? Sounds expensive. Are you dorming, or do you have an apartment? |
Aerospace engineer. Thats really about it.
|
Cool. ^^
What do you do for that career? |
Lol, almost all Indian girls I know want to do something medicine, like my friends. :3 But their grades are pretty good so they'll likely achieve their goal.
Yea, I need a job that pays well and my parents will accept. @[email protected] Thank you. |
Yeah, my best friend is so smart! <3 haha
What is something you want to do that would make your parents proud? What were you thinking of doing that your parents wouldn't approve of? No prob! ^^ |

I like the the classes are hard. It makes me work for it and I learn more. The professors, well those in my major classes anyway, are great. I could care less about my liberal arts stuff generally. I'm dorming. It's massively expensive here regardless. A friend lives with five roommates and STILL pays over $500 a month for his apartment. >_>; Sucks. |
Oh, I know that Pratt is an art school. ^^
My brother was going to apply there, but he ended up going to Lyndon State University. ^^ I know what you mean about being well-rounded. My parents tell me that, and I agree. WestConn requires you to take liberal courses too, and I wouldn't have it any other way. *grin* Wow, that's a lot of money to pay for an apartment. o: |
@Clair Voyant - What do I mean about what?
Your name sounding familar, or when I asked what the latter option entailed? Both! |
