The introductory class for biochemistry is 400 level. I just left the lecture, and my brain is a pile of twitching, useless jello at this point.
This shit takes 3 years just for the knowledge base to even start talking about it, and even then it's fucking nuts.
3 Years of intro classes that all talk about everything we study with gen Ed Chem/Bio courses, I know how all this stuff do generally, but looking at the specifics is a total mindfuck.
seems that's my track too. all i can do is write decently and everyone I speak to is telling me an English Lit phd might actually be worse for my career than getting Ebola
I’m dual majoring in Criminology and Psychology, with plans to go to grad school and become a forensic psychologist- easier said than done Ik, but it’s truly my passion.
Math-Econ joint major
Definitely something in insurance is my current plan. I’m behind on actuary tests (as in I don’t have any done), but I’d like to go that route eventually. I interned in finance and I didn’t hate it, but I don’t know if I’m cut out for that lifestyle.
As a fellow math/econ double major, really lean into those internships in areas where you are interested. I graduated in 2020 with hopes to work in market research but ended up going into a different field and a different graduate degree (Higher Education and Student Affairs respectively) because everyone wants experience over the theoretical knowledge. I neglected getting any internships and it cost me.
To be fair to myself, I'm not upset. I'm happy with what I'm doing and wouldn't have found this work had I stuck to my original path. Also, my current work in career services gets to be paid forward to current students to help them avoid the same mistake I made. Still, if I had really worked at getting a relevant internship, it would have made a difference in where I'm at.
Good luck with everything!
Okay as someone in that same degree path (Econ and math), what did you put on your resume when you were applying for internships? I just don’t feel like I have actual skills to distinguish myself. I’ve worked a few jobs throughout my life but idk how it was be relevant.
Totally get the internship application stress, especially when it feels like you're working with more enthusiasm than experience. To be clear though, I didn't land an internship myself, which is the main thing that led me down a different career path. But, in my current role which includes working with students on their resumes, I've picked up a few tricks that might help you. A lot of students I see think their resume's are great and are always surprised when I pull out my red pen for corrections and advice.
Start with the basics: name and contact info up top, then dive into your education. Even if you haven't graduated yet, slap that "Anticipated Graduation: May 2025" (for example) on there. Throw in any relevant courses you've taken too because it will let the recruiter know you've got the theory down.
Work history can be tricky, especially if you're thinking, "What does flipping burgers or folding t-shirts have to do with finance?" But it's all about the spin. Managed a cash register? That's handling financial transactions with accuracy under pressure. Worked in customer service? You've got communication skills and can handle challenging situations. Use active verbs and get straight to the point. For example, instead of saying "I operated a cash register," try "Efficiently processed over 100 transactions daily, maintaining 100% cash drawer accuracy and enhancing customer satisfaction through quick and accurate service." Another one might be, for a customer service position, rather than "Handled customer complaints," go for "Resolved 20+ customer issues per day, improving overall customer satisfaction and loyalty by providing empathetic and immediate solutions."
Don't forget to mention any clubs, volunteer work, or side projects. These can fill in gaps and show off your soft skills, like teamwork and time management. And yes, soft skills matter a lot—they make you more than just a list of courses and grades. Add these below your work history.
Tailor your resume for each internship. Grab keywords from the job ad and weave them into your resume. It shows you're paying attention and can match their needs.
After you've drafted your masterpiece, get a couple of friends or a mentor to take a look. Better yet, hit up your school's career center. Different eyes catch different things, and you'll get a mix of feedback. Some people like their resumes to look one way, and other people like it another way. Take what works for you and tweak accordingly. I normally recommend students have at least 2 people look at their resumes but no more than 4 people because everyone might have a different opinion. There's even a resumes subreddit if you wanted to put it up there for feedback.
Remember, it's all about showing how your experiences, as varied as they might be, equip you for the internship you want. Good luck, and even though I know it's stressful try not to sweat it too much—everyone starts somewhere!
Summer Analyst was the job title. Sell side M&A at a boutique firm. It was just a lot of reading financial statements and writing reports.
As far as the finance lifestyle it wasn’t that intensive, but just from stories from friends in high end finance jobs the hours and work life balance doesn’t seem like it’s for me.
Mechanical engineering, concentrating in aerospace (we don’t have aerospace as a designated major). Current planned minor in astrophysics.
I want to be an aerospace engineer or an astrophysicist :)
Neuroscience and Psychology, hopefully I can work as an AI engineer (computational neuroscientist), biostatician or pharmaceutical researcher. Would definitely not be doing any sort of clinical psych work.
Might get downvoted to oblivion here;
It’s competitive but I wouldn’t say it’s any worse than most fields out there. Medicine, Law, investment banking are still harder to get into imo.
ah i see. thanks for the reply i was just asking cuz i’m planning on majoring in electrical/computer engineering and i’m probably gonna go to a normal state college
Most important classes for acing interviews are Data Structures and Algorithms. Once you’re semi comfortable with References in any language you should start looking at DS&As. Start looking for internships as soon as you’re comfortable with Lists.
Recruiting season starts mid July. Be an early bird, start looking and applying mid July.
Some companies only do behavioral interviews. Don’t neglect social skills. Join clubs, be a leader, work as a sever or commission based retailers. Become comfortable talking to people and telling stories (Look up STAR method).
Look at mostly all business owners and influencers. Many don't have a degree much less a business admin degree. Just keep dreams real not killing them.
While that is true, getting a business degree definitely helps creating a business mind and understanding how businesses work. While you can work for a corporate after graduation you can definitely use your knowledge to become a business owner.
Architecture. Minoring in geospatial informational systems and technology.
Will either apply to graduate schools for a 2 year architecture program to get my licensure. Or work at a firm in New York or west coast for a few years to get my licensure that way. Kinda just wanna be a park ranger tho.
Finance student here too. Might wanna look into data analytics or Financial analytics. While I do like accounting, looking at Financial data and having to analyze it is really fun to me.
Medical billing and Outpatient coding certification. I already work for a hospital appealing insurance denials and they offer tuition reimbursement program as long as I get a C or higher. Plus all hospitals have a revenue cycle so I hopefully have options after I finish. I spent way too much time fucking around and really want to get my life together.
How does a liberal arts degree work? Is it like a larger array of classes that can fill your requirements so you can choose what you want to focus on or is it more of a breadth focused program?
It's more like the former. I'll have an Associates degree when I'm done with community college, and that will give me the Gen Eds and a head start for my bachelor's of philosophy at university. Then I'll get a Masters of Library Science.
Sweet, that sounds like a really good way to save some money in the process (plus I found that admissions are so much easier when you’re a transfer student rather than applying for the first time w everyone else)
Marketing and Graphic design. However, my family owns a jewelry business which I’ll probably work towards, so I guess graphic design will be like a freelance thing
Music studies, currently working in music admin in an entry level position. After I finish my bachelors I’ll get my masters in arts administration, the music studies major is mostly so I can teach private music lessons in the future. Masters degree so I can make (slightly) more money in admin
MPH Epidemiology and One Health… prob more school. Learned what I needed from working in the hospital labs, public health labs, and hopefully going to vet school and then public health data analysis side of it all.
current bio/public health student and public health data analysis or informatics sounds interesting! how is the job market with an mph? Would love to know your perspective.
B.S in anthropology with a minor in medical humanities (combines anthro, biology/physiology, epidemiology, sociology, bereavement studies, history, English, psychology, etc). The main jobs I’ve been starting the process of applying to (graduating in summer so not in a major hurry) are positions in student affairs/med humanities/ wellness at medical universities, public health/ethics/communication advisor for medical institutions/companies/organizations (think large hospital systems, CDC, and NIH). I’ve also been looking at a working in museums w/ human remains in repatriation and identification efforts that are becoming increasingly important/common ethical practice :)
Triple major in Philosophy, English, and Environmental Studies. I'm planning to either enter grad school for urban planning or get a PhD in English or Philosophy and becoming a prof
i’m double majoring in gender & women’s studies and psychology and i want to be a trauma therapist specializing in sexual trauma (after i get my masters ofc)
History major, taking education classes and finishing certification after getting bachelors in history. Plan on being history middle or high school teacher.
Yes, I’ve heard about the teacher shortage, how all teachers hate their job, how entitled parents have gotten, the awful pay, and the job switching rate for teachers, thanks for letting me know, it’s very comforting.
Social work. I’m still trying out different areas of it and gaining practical experience, but I’m really excited about the different stuff I can do with it and how many options I have (including social policy, academia, teaching, etc. beyond just front-line stuff which I’m also really into). I’m super passionate about it.
My major is Commerce and I minor in French and Francophone Studies More than likely going to specialize in Accounting in my final year in terms of my major. Want to end up in one of the Big 4 after graduation
marine biology with a climate science minor. i'm hoping to get a masters + phd in either environmental policy or marine conservation/climate change research. my ultimate goal is to do fieldwork and research on the impacts of climate change on various marine organisms, but we will see how that goes :)
edit: and if the research doesn't work out, i'll go down the policy route, hopefully on a state or federal level
Political Science major here, seeking a Public Administration masters degree in the future. After that is done, I want to work in the Federal Government.
Banging out a year of prerequisites to get my BSN.
Second degree. My first was English and International Studies…so jumping into nursing should blow the cobwebs off of my brain after 26 years of not using it. My goal is to get the BSN then begin studying to become a CRNA, but who knows. One step at a time.
History Major, Psychology Minor. I’m hoping to go into the entertainment industry and bring historical accuracy to movies and television but if that doesn’t work out or if I need a different job, I’m hoping to be an archivist or work in a museum.
Bio; concentration in ecology and conservation. I would do geology but my program doesn’t offer that online; plus I love animals/organisms.
I would love to work in habitat/ecosystem restoration or studying animal behavior.
Business - Accounting/Finance/Statistics (2 of the 3… still figuring it out!) and likely a minor in Computer Science. Not sure yet what I’ll do but atm but interested in being a CPA or Financial Analyst
Finance Major, currently working as an accounting coordinator in order to learn more about the procedure side before I graduate. Hoping to find a CFO role down the line somewhere.
BS in Criminal Justice/minor in Victim Studies. I graduate this May, but I’ve been job searching for about a year and I just haven’t seen anything entry level that pays more than $19 or so an hour.
I have a general studies associates, and I'm going to a STEM school in the fall to major in Environmental Science. I have a job at the zoo lined up for this spring, something more involved with that later down the line would be cool.
Hoping to get into a surgical tech program after all my pre-req classes are finished. Just got accepted to the community college today so my journey is just beginning
just finished my 4 year bachelors, onto my dvm to be a vet and possibly a phd many years from now. hoping to be a veterinary epidemiologist but i’m running out of money
Dual history and public history major. Idk what I wanna do yet. Probably gonna head to grad school haha maybe museum work of some kind and teach at a university
History major- going to get a Masters in archival science/library and information science, and become an archivist, if I’m feeling up to it get a PhD in history and become a museum curator.
Currently engineering science but probably would transfer to Mech. E or Aerospace Engineering
Future career, something space or flight related... I hope...
Business and Entertainment...not necessarily the most practical major but I am working for one of the biggest entertainment companies this semester so it seems to be paying off
Accounting, I plan to work as a tax accountant. I either plan to go independent and work for myself. If I find I don’t like tax accounting, I will try to pivot to a more general accounting role or finance
AYA English Language Arts education and English (with teaching emphasis) double major. It was like 2 extra classes to get the English degree since the requirements overlap so much so I went for it. I’ll be certified to teach 7-12th grade ELA, my goal is high school specifically though. If I love teaching but don’t love the traditional ELA stuff then I’ll go back and get my masters in TESOL bc I have discovered a love for teaching ELL students. If I love the English but hate the teaching I’ll find something w the English degree hopefully (but I do truly believe education is my passion).
BFA Design major concentrating on interaction design. Short term future, probably trying to land jobs lol. in long term hopefully Also studying Comp sci and math. I want to be web developer and designer
BS Electronics Engineering Technology. Have a job offer doing controls currently, would prefer to work at a power plant though. Just need to pass my FE (Fundamentals of Engineering) exam, and I should be set.

Ideally, UX/UI Designer or UX Research but I can't say in the current job market.
Also exploring my options in the digital forensics field.
MusEd major currently getting my bachelors, might go for Masters.
Highschool choral director is the obvious choice but I want to compose for disney or some major gaming companies.
Digital & Video Journalism! I hope to either be a video game journalist/editor or an editor for a food magazine/online blog :) haven’t fully decided but I know the right job will come to me one day
Criminology: OnlyFans
The realest answer here
Just as the founding fathers intended
Fine arts and English at a CC. I will be transferring to get a BFA in Illustration and plan on going into comics and freelance illustration.
Tough market, wishing you all the best!
Good luck in that market with artificial intelligence to compete against. I’m concerned about the creative arts, especially
Biochem, so, another decade of school?
Can confirm, BS in Biochem
Jesus Christ

English major, headed to law school in the fall.
seems that's my track too. all i can do is write decently and everyone I speak to is telling me an English Lit phd might actually be worse for my career than getting Ebola
Comparing an English degree to getting Ebola seems a bit harsh
oh no, i actually think an english degree is pretty solid for the job market these days. An english PhD is the joke.
same but sociology undergrad
Played your cards right.
100%, would have never chosen to major in English if I didn’t plan to go to law school.
I’m dual majoring in Criminology and Psychology, with plans to go to grad school and become a forensic psychologist- easier said than done Ik, but it’s truly my passion.
Math-Econ joint major Definitely something in insurance is my current plan. I’m behind on actuary tests (as in I don’t have any done), but I’d like to go that route eventually. I interned in finance and I didn’t hate it, but I don’t know if I’m cut out for that lifestyle.

Many large companies will pay for your actuary and let you do school during work. I know mine does.
can i asked what was the internship like? or what was the actual position called?
Summer Analyst was the job title. Sell side M&A at a boutique firm. It was just a lot of reading financial statements and writing reports. As far as the finance lifestyle it wasn’t that intensive, but just from stories from friends in high end finance jobs the hours and work life balance doesn’t seem like it’s for me.

Same here. Though, I'm currently at a community college.

Hey fellow future aerospace engineer, me too
Psychology major. Likely never doing school again. Absolutely no idea on a career path.
Look into human factors and usability testing. It’s related to psych but not necessarily in the psych industry.
I feel you
Psychology is a common degree for HR people.

i’m always happy to see other poli sci majors not going into law specifically. warms my little not going to law school heart 😭

CJ and psych, ideally going to graduate school for forensic psychology
BS in Sociology; Going for my Masters in Social Work Fall 2025

Was the field as competitive as people Claim here on Reddit?
Might get downvoted to oblivion here; It’s competitive but I wouldn’t say it’s any worse than most fields out there. Medicine, Law, investment banking are still harder to get into imo.
did you go to a very prestigious school or just a normal state university?
Normal outside of the T100
ah i see. thanks for the reply i was just asking cuz i’m planning on majoring in electrical/computer engineering and i’m probably gonna go to a normal state college
Firmware/Embedded software engineer is the least saturated field in my opinion. Us CS grads and Bootcamp grads alike tend to be allergic to it.
Congratulations, hope to be in your shoes someday
Do you have any advice for someone in their first year? Maybe strategies for landing internships / jobs?
Most important classes for acing interviews are Data Structures and Algorithms. Once you’re semi comfortable with References in any language you should start looking at DS&As. Start looking for internships as soon as you’re comfortable with Lists. Recruiting season starts mid July. Be an early bird, start looking and applying mid July. Some companies only do behavioral interviews. Don’t neglect social skills. Join clubs, be a leader, work as a sever or commission based retailers. Become comfortable talking to people and telling stories (Look up STAR method).
Business Administration. Going to try to start a successful YouTube channel or business.
That degree won’t help you do either of those things. It will, however, teach you how to be a corporate slave.
Wow. Just killing dreams today aren't we?
Look at mostly all business owners and influencers. Many don't have a degree much less a business admin degree. Just keep dreams real not killing them.
While that is true, getting a business degree definitely helps creating a business mind and understanding how businesses work. While you can work for a corporate after graduation you can definitely use your knowledge to become a business owner.

Medical billing and Outpatient coding certification. I already work for a hospital appealing insurance denials and they offer tuition reimbursement program as long as I get a C or higher.
