What College do you go to?

[ZodiiaK]

Hey All,

I know quite a few of us are in college or have already finished it. So I thought I would post asking what everyone studied and where they are looking to go after their studies.

I'm studying Modern History at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada. My ultimate future will hopefully be working towards my masters and becoming a Historian.

However, if that doesn't work out I would be happy with Journalism. I will be writing a book at some point in my life as well, I love creative writing =D

Cheers

I am currently majoring in Accounting at Manhattan College in NYC. I don't have a special passion for accounting or anything, its just that its very intuitive to me and provides the best job oppurtunities of any of the Business majors. I was originally put off during the engineering orientation and switched to business before my first semester.

Unfortunately the educational system is so messed up that often times students dont really know what they are interested in until it is too late. For example, in most US high schools the sciences are taught in this order: Biology, Chemistry, Physics. Immediately it is obvious that this is counterintuitive. A basic understanding of how matter interacts with and moves through space time (physics) is required to understand how chemical compounds are formed, Physics is the root of Chemistry. Chemistry is the root of Biology, and so on. When not taught in order, most often the educational process (atleast when it comes to science) shifts from one of understanding the topics to one of memorization and repetition.

I think that is why most students (and I in particular) didn't realize I was fascinated with many different sciences until it was too late to switch my major in an efficient way. If I had known what I know now when applying to College I would have most likely went into the field of astrophysics and cosmology. Unfortunately now that has been relegated to a hobby.

But hey you never know, after graduating with an Accounting degree, I might decide to take some online courses in the sciences that I am truly interested in.

Nice Sandy. I could never wrap my brain around astrophysics, just rattles me to the core. Especially with that picture and post you made earlier about all those galaxies within that small picture.

Agreed Kain. I'm waiting to see Knight post here, I'm pretty sure he said he was in college for something.

I was going to Austin Community College, but that was worse than my high school. I'm applying to the university of Mary Hardin-Baylor for next fall. I take the SAT in 3 days =S.

Forgot to say, I'm majoring in computer science with a sub specialty in video game design. I'm also going to attempt to minor in business something or other.

I will be going to UNC-Greensboro to major in Anthropology, as soon as I have the money to do so. (oh you loans, saving me the trouble of paying for it all)

Never saw that coming, did you?

Only saw this now.

Biochemistry and Chemical Engineering Double Degree program with an exception made to allow me to minor in Biomed - University of Ottawa.

It's eating me alive, but I'll still live.

Majoring in Business (concentration Finance) and a minor in Economics at Simon Fraser University (Hi Zodiiak lol).
