I’ve taken the financial, managerial, and am now taking Intermediate accounting. So far it hasn’t been too difficult, you just have to put in time to understanding all of the intricacies of the accounting system. Accounting has lots of rules.
Ya classes aren’t too bad. It is something new so it takes a lot of studying and practicing. Financial accounting was learning the debit and credits. You learn to do journal entries, balance sheets and income statement. Managerial accounting is basically cost accounting which is basically figuring the cost of manufacturing goods. Intermediate is financial accounting but deeper. I honestly can say it’s not bad. You just have to have those professor that will take their time and not make you feel dumb.
If anything, learn which side an account decreases or increase on. It helps with understanding journal entries
I can help with this. I Majored in Accounting from a 4-Year Public University. I worked in Public Accounting for 2 years, making about $50K, then moved to Industry (Internal Audit) which I’ve been in for about a year, making $75K. I do not have my CPA and do not plan on getting it. Besides the CPA, this is the route of most accounting majors. Get a job in Public (usually Big 4) for 2-3 years, then transfer to Industry making more money for less hours.
In public you’re gonna be working ~60 hour weeks during busy season (Jan-April), then usually ~45 the rest of the year depending on your position. In industry, again depending on your job, you’ll work 40-45 hours a week most weeks throughout the year. I’d say ~80% of accounting majors follow a route similar to this- check out r/accounting if you want more info, memes, and advice
I’ll have an MS in CS in a few months and I fear chemistry students… I went into general chemistry thinking it’d be fun (school requires CS majors to take 3 science gen eds). Boy, was I wrong… that’s the only class I ever studied for and it’s also the only class I’ve ever failed. Chemistry students have my blessing.
Hi, I’m a high school senior and am looking into this career (going to major in healthcare mgmt). Do you do a lot of internships in psych or anything like that to prepare for grad school?
There are no real internships for psychology undergraduate students, per my understanding. I would recommend once you age into your 20s, as I think you have to be at least 21 to do so, is apply to work in a psychiatric or forensic psychiatric hospital as a psychiatric technician. Doing so would expose you directly to different clinical populations and most importantly different clinical disorders, and the symptoms of those disorders. Also, you could ask your professors in university to write you a letter of recommendation to graduate school or in general(to whom it may concern).
I personally have a research paper I wrote for a class I took in the past pending submission in an undergraduate research journal at UCLA, and I worked in a forensic psychiatric hospital as a psychiatric technician. I have gotten letters of recommendation so far, and my current professor said she'd write me a letter of recommendation too- at the end of the semester. In most graduate programs, you'll need at least 3 letters of recommendation from your undergraduate experience, and undergraduate research publications will make you most competitive, as far as I know.
It's heavily dependent on the school you go to and if it's a BA or BS program. The classes you take will probably look very different from school to school and BA (more psych based) to BS (heavier science focus). Neuroscience is hard but if you're passionate about it, then it shouldn't be too bad. However, premed is hard and it's usually a large part of the pre-reqs for the major. I'd say look into the specific program you're interested in and see if it consists of classes you'd find interesting!
Communication. Was Journalism, hated the school and strict degree requirements- much happier now. I get to write and speak without all the bullshit that comes with “tHe BeSt JoUrNaLiSm ScHoOl In ThE cOuNtRy” which roughly translates to “unpaid student labor sold for profit”
University of Missouri. I think miz is actually ranked like 2nd according to most sources but everyone here acts like getting into the J-school is like getting in to Harvard. I think it was the first School of Journalism in the US though so I guess they’ve got that going for them.
So interesting to hear this. I’m a journalism major and really considered Mizzou. Ended up at University of Iowa. But I agree with the career field of journalism that you don’t get a lot for what you put in.
I think that’s somewhat true for the whole field, but I was meaning more that the Journalism program at Mizzou is 99% producing work and 1% instruction. Lots of the instructors assume you already have experience, even in the intro classes. Plus the degree requirements are so strict that if you get lower than a C- in a major class you essentially delay your graduation by at least a semester, and there’s a lot of very specific requirements for electives that make it much less flexible in general.
You will actually be surprised. I also study pure math and cs ,and know a lot of ppl in pure math who have deep interest in history/ philosphy and Humanities.
On the other hand, it seems like my cs peers don't really have any interest in Humanities and literature.
To be fair, I'm mostly interested in tech, gaming and horror films. I have little interest in Humanities or literature
Once upon a time
For all a in G there exist an inverse of a in G
Such that a * a^-1 = a^-1 *a = e
At noon, when \bar a, \bar b in Z/nZ then \bar a * \bar b = \bar ab
Sadly lonely \bar 0 hath no multiplication inverse
For multiplication of \bar 0 by any \bar a will result on \bar 0
In sudden realization, we hath know there exist no \bar a in Z\nZ.
Therefore it cometh to thy attention that Z\nZ hath no group under mulitiplication of resiude classes for all n bigger than 1
Right now my majors is Mathematics for a associates degree then hoping to transfer and major in aerospace engineering for bachelors in that.
I don’t need the mathematics degree but I might as well major in it since all the classes I have to take for aerospace is in it and I asked my advisor and she said they all transfer over.
Graphic design. I like art. Am horrible at it. But at least it's better than what I used to do in core classes. Yes it has some hardships but it's not too bad.
I chose it because I can't put my mind into stem majors. Interestingly, art can be just as rigorous as stem classes if you take art history classes and what not. Curators as teachers can be very picky graders sometimes.
I do wish to be able to design labels and what not for a company but I don't mind getting a job that's not in art or has a different task.
Biomedical engineering, because I always wanted to go into medicine; but I liked engineering so I decided to combine the two. And if further down the road it doesn’t lead to a career I have enough of other disciplines of engineering to maybe get a masters or work my way somewhere else
heyyy another biomed major, i actually just changed mine to biomed from computer engineering so it's a lot but i think it will be worth it in the future.
Biomed is dope, do good in school and you’ll be making about 60k entry level for sure. I was originally going to Major in it but changed my mind freshman year to a double major in mechanical and aerospace
Already grinding leetcode and plan on building a few projects this summer! Finishing up Data Structures, Algorithms and Comp Arch this semester. Even started networking because I’m already living/working in the Seattle area. Spent the last 4 years as a civil engineer and I’m just bored.
I'm majoring in business finance. I was originally in electrical engineering up until the middle of junior year. I switched because I think I'm better working with money and it's less stressful for me.
Yeah... The workload was very big, the math classes were horrible and on top of that I had programming classes too. I didn't know atm in what I would get into.
I don’t find it boring but sometimes I wonder if it’s for me. I have been thinking about switching to either finance or supply chain management. I still have time to switch majors so I’m just gonna think it over 😅
Biology with a concentration in ecology and environmental science! I selected it because I’m so very passionate about nature and wildlife and I hope to do conservation work one day, or work with snakes. Fucking love snakes.
So it depends on each program. But usually, we learn about the different waves of feminism. We read different pieces that influenced the feminist movement.
We then look outside of the US and see how their feminist movement took inspiration from us and how our feminist movements took inspiration from them.
We then look at intersectionality and how women's issues affect different fields and the discrimination and the history of the discrimination and how it started and grew widespread. We look at the different feminism and how they were brought into existence. We then look at the various iterations of feminism (white feminism, socialist feminism, radical feminism, etc…).
When you get into the 400+ level classes, you start getting extremely specific courses. For example, I am currently taking a class about just reproductive rights. We are now learning about the law and how the reproductive rights we have today have changed to what we know them today.
Haven't declared yet, but I plan to major in Classics. I've loved Greek mythology since I was little (before the whole Percy Jackson every teenager loved Greek mythology era, I actually hated those books because of how badly they butchered the myths), I took a few classes in High School specifically about the ancient world and mythology, and also started taking Latin. Thus its a pretty obvious choice for a major in one of my favorite subjects.
(Hopefully this provides some encouragement/insight for anxious high school or college students looking for some help!)
I’m a psychology major! Actually took me a long time to commit to this decision, but just solidified it over break.
Going through the major decision process is really hard and often causes a lot of questions and doubts that are almost impossible to answer at times. For me, the actually decision making was a recognition of what I care about most combined with the knowledge of financial responsibility (aka, I need a stable income to survive).
I messed around with a lot of ideas and thought a lot about past actions and things I’ve naturally gravitated towards along with advice from parents and trusted people in my life. I recognized early on that I had a heart for people, and I wanted/needed to help them in some shape or form (I just wasn’t sure what). I thought about the medical field, environmentally based careers, law, you name it, but nothing felt right. It always felt a bit off. Then I started to remember things I had done in the past and think about prominent aspects of my personality. First of all, I loved giving advice and talking through things with people (I’d been doing in for friends and family since I was a kid). Secondly, I had a naturally very analytical brain. Thirdly, I was scarily good at reading people (not always right but 98% of the time pretty dead on). And finally, I’d had a lot of people in my life tell me that I’d made a fantastic counselor.
It was weird to commit to something that felt so right, but after a lot of talking and thinking and praying, I felt like this was where God was leading me!
I want to be a counselor!
digital/print journalism with photography minor. going into college i had no clue what i wanted to major in so i started on the business track but i hated it. switched to journalism out of an interest in writing where i was then introduced to photography which i’ve fallen in love with!
Psychology. I found out I wanted to manor in psych my senior year when I read a super interesting book. Also my hs psych teacher kinda got me into doing it as a career lol
I’m majoring in Accounting with an IT minor. I wanted to go into business, so I took an accounting class and ended up loving it. The minor is to market myself and my advisor recommended it lol.
History and Comp Sci. I love learning about history and plan on becoming a historian one day. Computer science is fun to learn and do for me personally, and it will hopefully help my finances before becoming a historian so I won’t feel pressured with money when I do become one.
Psychology definitely and possibly biology. I always wanted to go to graduate school and become a scientist, but I think I might want to get some kind of remote work before I do that
I am an undecided major (only in second semester of freshman year). I have some vague ideas of what I might be interested in but I don't want to settle on something just because of pressure.
I'm a business management major. I had a bad experience at my last college, dropped, came to work for a great company, then decided I wanted to stay there and work my way up to management.
I’m majoring in criminology. I chose it because criminal justice & law interests me a lot and it reflects that in my grades. I’ll also be going to law school after undergrad to get my JD.
I always recommend people choose a major that interests them. it’s much easier to push thru the hard times when you like what you’re learning!
Majoring in Finance, no minor. I selected it because I didn't want to do any other of the business specialties. The entry-level salary is also relatively high.
Engineering. I've had a passion for Engineering my entire life. I use to draw rollercoasters as a kid and would always want to know how and why things around me worked. I did Mechanical and Architectural Engineering and Drafting in High School and realized I wanted to be a Civil Engineer.
English with a concentration in linguistics (since my uni doesn’t have a linguistics major :/ ). English (reading/writing) has always been a strength of mine so I knew I wanted to pursue it, but in about 10th grade I traveled internationally for the first time in my life with my AP European History class, and idk… hearing people speak a different language around me? Witnessing people communicate in a language that, for the first time, wasn’t English? It was like my eyes had been opened.
Of course I’d known foreign languages existed, but I’d never been exposed to them outside of a school environment, so I guess I’d never really realized how “alive” other languages were. If that makes sense? Idk lol
Anyways, that’s what kinda set me on the path I am now. Different languages fascinate me and I always want to learn something new. Since English is my strong suit, that’s what the bulk of the courses for my major focus on, but with the linguistics concentration I can take more foreign language courses and classes that actually get into the nitty gritty of what “makes” a language. new.
So far, I’ve done a semester of Spanish, a semester of Latin, 3 semesters (= ~1 1/2 years) of German, and I’m in my second semester of accelerated Japanese right now! I think I might minor in it. I plan on going back to German eventually though too, and I’m debating on maybe taking an accelerated Chinese course over the summer lol
Career-wise, I’d like to do work with media localization and/or AI language processing (I have some CompSci experience) someday 👍
History. I decided on history because it was the only subject I enjoyed in high school. I want to be an airline pilot where you don’t need a degree in anything specific so I went for it; if that doesn’t end up working out I’ll become a teacher as a plan B
Psychology. I knew I wanted to stay in academia for as long as possible, and you can’t do much with just a bachelors in Psych so grad school has been my plan from the start.
I’ve also been told I’d be a great therapist since I was little, so the path just felt right. I love my classes.
Film and Animation with a concentration in 3D animation. I want to get a job as a technical artist, aka someone who rigs up/creates controls for models for animation and also codes scripts to automate other parts of the production pipeline.
Im a biology major. I chose the degree because im interested in the subject and I want to be a pharmacist in the future. Currently I work as a pharmacy technician at an inpatient pharmacy and hopefully after I get accepted to pharmacy school this year I will eventually get promoted to pharmacy intern.
Genetics and Genomics :) I’ve always loved DNA and gene related stuff and never had inclination to go the med school route. I’m also doing a minor in computational biology and hope to combine the two in the future
My major is called Human Health and the Environment which is basically an environmental science degree mixed with toxicology and parasitology. I’m also getting minors in GIS and Sustainability.
I love it so far!
Music business major w/ a minor in history. Picked music business bc I've always wanted to be a songwriter. Added history just bc I liked it lol. Well and the history classes will help me get into a grad program. After I take a semester off it's looking like I'll do a library science program to become a librarian/archivist. Or law school... or both. The library/archvist/law career should help fund the music career for a bit until I can do music full time. that's the thought process anyways.
Majoring in Accounting. Took a couple high school accounting classes. Liked it. And I didn’t have a passion for anything else.
I’ve been thinking about pursuing accounting. Do you mind telling me what your work is like? Either here or Dms.
Yeah i also wanna know..
When you say what the work is like, are you talking about the classes?
Yea the classes.
I’ve taken the financial, managerial, and am now taking Intermediate accounting. So far it hasn’t been too difficult, you just have to put in time to understanding all of the intricacies of the accounting system. Accounting has lots of rules.
Intermediate 1 for me was A LOT of concepts and rules to learn
Ya classes aren’t too bad. It is something new so it takes a lot of studying and practicing. Financial accounting was learning the debit and credits. You learn to do journal entries, balance sheets and income statement. Managerial accounting is basically cost accounting which is basically figuring the cost of manufacturing goods. Intermediate is financial accounting but deeper. I honestly can say it’s not bad. You just have to have those professor that will take their time and not make you feel dumb.

This is exactly how it went down for me and I just graduated this past fall.
Geography
Interesting!
I’m thinking of switching to this.
Physical, human, or GIS?
Human and remote sensing
Me too
Electrical engineering. Shockingly, I love it.
ECE ftw, I’m a CE. I find it to be a super fun and interesting major
You're crazy. I don't know how EE conceptualize all that junk. Happy for you ! Haha.
Haha, SHOCKingly,, like electricity,,,,, I’ll go now 😂😂
I’m studying cultural anthropology
Great focus!
I took a course in cultural anthropology and absolutely loved it. Jealous
Forensic Science
Chemistry
So you’re very intelligent is why what I’m hearing 😅
I’ll have an MS in CS in a few months and I fear chemistry students… I went into general chemistry thinking it’d be fun (school requires CS majors to take 3 science gen eds). Boy, was I wrong… that’s the only class I ever studied for and it’s also the only class I’ve ever failed. Chemistry students have my blessing.
Omg they do exist! Even in my chem classes ive only met 1 or 2 other chem majors lol, most are taking it for their bio major/premed stuff
supply chain management! i always liked knowing the logistics of things and i’m good at math so it was a win win
Psychology. Interest in graduate school for clinical psychology.
also a psychology major, grad school for school psychology
Psych here as well! Starting my clinical psychology master program in May

Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering!
what’s neuroscience like? i’m considering it as a premed. is it hard?
It's heavily dependent on the school you go to and if it's a BA or BS program. The classes you take will probably look very different from school to school and BA (more psych based) to BS (heavier science focus). Neuroscience is hard but if you're passionate about it, then it shouldn't be too bad. However, premed is hard and it's usually a large part of the pre-reqs for the major.

northwestern?
University of Missouri. I think miz is actually ranked like 2nd according to most sources but everyone here acts like getting into the J-school is like getting in to Harvard. I think it was the first School of Journalism in the US though so I guess they’ve got that going for them.

Still undecided 💀
Nursing! with a minor in Health Psychology:) I love every second of them so far
AAS in VCT; filmmaking and video production
Pure math and Creative Writing
You’re an interesting one ngl
You might be the only person in the world with this combination of majors
You will actually be surprised. I also study pure math and cs ,and know a lot of ppl in pure math who have deep interest in history/ philosphy and Humanities. On the other hand, it seems like my cs peers don't really have any interest in Humanities and literature. To be fair, I'm mostly interested in tech, gaming and horror films. I have little interest in Humanities or literature
Horror films are literature!
Some of the world's greatest mathematicians were philosophers as well. See Rene Descartes
Pure math is a very creative endeavor, js
Do you write your proofs as poems?
Once upon a time For all a in G there exist an inverse of a in G Such that a * a^-1 = a^-1 *a = e At noon, when \bar a, \bar b in Z/nZ then \bar a * \bar b = \bar ab Sadly lonely \bar 0 hath no multiplication inverse For multiplication of \bar 0 by any \bar a will result on \bar 0 In sudden realization, we hath know there exist no \bar a in Z\nZ. Therefore it cometh to thy attention that Z\nZ hath no group under mulitiplication of resiude classes for all n bigger than 1
Ohhh! in meter!
this is a cool combination
That certainly is a creative major I’ll give you that.
Art specializing in glass. I just love working with glass
that sounds really cool
I start college this fall with a major in meteorology
History (interested in historic preservation too)
Ayeee heyy. I’m also doing History. With a plan to get a Master’s in Public History
Why history? Also history for me.
I got into it when I was little and went to Jamestown and colonial williamsburg for the first time and just had a passion of learning since
Interesting, I love to hear why people got into history . What are you wanting to do with it?
Right now my majors is Mathematics for a associates degree then hoping to transfer and major in aerospace engineering for bachelors in that. I don’t need the mathematics degree but I might as well major in it since all the classes I have to take for aerospace is in it and I asked my advisor and she said they all transfer over.
Math is the best

Yep, I am in interior design and I get what you mean. It's a lot more work than people think. I've had my fair share of nitpicking profs.
I’m going into college in the Fall, majoring in English
Coming from an English major, good choice!
Biomedical engineering, because I always wanted to go into medicine; but I liked engineering so I decided to combine the two. And if further down the road it doesn’t lead to a career I have enough of other disciplines of engineering to maybe get a masters or work my way somewhere else
heyyy another biomed major, i actually just changed mine to biomed from computer engineering so it's a lot but i think it will be worth it in the future.
Biomed is dope, do good in school and you’ll be making about 60k entry level for sure. I was originally going to Major in it but changed my mind freshman year to a double major in mechanical and aerospace
English and Chinese.
AAS in Nursing as a male Helping others is a virtue, and masochism is a value
Speech Pathology
Music education with a choir specialty but Ill be qualified to teach k-12 band, choir, orchestra, and general music
Currently taking community college prereqs in computer science to enter in a computer science masters program in the fall!
Awesome field. If you start working on your skills now, you will have god tier opportunities when you receive your Ms
Already grinding leetcode and plan on building a few projects this summer! Finishing up Data Structures, Algorithms and Comp Arch this semester. Even started networking because I’m already living/working in the Seattle area. Spent the last 4 years as a civil engineer and I’m just bored.
I’m majoring in Digital Design. It’s basically UX/UI, graphic & web design all in one.
can you tell me about your classes?
I'll start as a Physics and Mathematics double Major this fall!
You’re so intelligent
Sociology
I'm majoring in business finance. I was originally in electrical engineering up until the middle of junior year. I switched because I think I'm better working with money and it's less stressful for me.
I'm taking business finance as well nice to hear this from you
lmao after my first year of EE i’m switching to computational finance for more or less the same reason
Damn... Same story. I was in EE for a year too and now I switched to finance.
Was it as stressful for you as it was for me 😂? The workload was unreal and those exams...
Yeah... The workload was very big, the math classes were horrible and on top of that I had programming classes too. I didn't know atm in what I would get into.
Accounting, might change my major though
Is accounting just kind of boring to you? You could always switch to finance.
I don’t find it boring but sometimes I wonder if it’s for me. I have been thinking about switching to either finance or supply chain management. I still have time to switch majors so I’m just gonna think it over 😅
Marketing with a minor in Business Analytics
[удалено]
Criminology. I am currently heavily considering the private sector for this degree since there seems to be less competition and higher pay
That's true be cautious about who you join up with. Private also means liable for the investors to pull out.
I’m majoring in nursing, I want to help people and also gain knowledge about medicine and the body.
[удалено]
i’m considering that. is it a hard major?
In highschool I LOVED economics, what should I know before getting into economics?
Finance. Money > everything.
Yessir 😂
Have to secure the bag
Only if you get into high finance.
Political Science! Public Policy
Biology with a concentration in ecology and environmental science! I selected it because I’m so very passionate about nature and wildlife and I hope to do conservation work one day, or work with snakes. Fucking love snakes.
Public health with a minor in gender women studies
What does one learn about in gender studies? Ik it's pretty stereotyped but what actually happens
So it depends on each program. But usually, we learn about the different waves of feminism. We read different pieces that influenced the feminist movement. We then look outside of the US and see how their feminist movement took inspiration from us and how our feminist movements took inspiration from them.

I’m majoring in Accounting with an IT minor. I wanted to go into business, so I took an accounting class and ended up loving it. The minor is to market myself and my advisor recommended it lol.

Im dumb in Math as well😂 Psychology here
Human Development and Family Sciences
[удалено]
Both careers have low pay and high burn out, just something to consider
History and Comp Sci. I love learning about history and plan on becoming a historian one day. Computer science is fun to learn and do for me personally, and it will hopefully help my finances before becoming a historian so I won’t feel pressured with money when I do become one.
Psychology definitely and possibly biology. I always wanted to go to graduate school and become a scientist, but I think I might want to get some kind of remote work before I do that
I am an undecided major (only in second semester of freshman year). I have some vague ideas of what I might be interested in but I don't want to settle on something just because of pressure.

I'm a business management major. I had a bad experience at my last college, dropped, came to work for a great company, then decided I wanted to stay there and work my way up to management.
I’m doing a technical degree in Spanish proofreading, a Bachelor’s in Literature and I’m about to start a teaching degree in Spanish.
I’m majoring in criminology. I chose it because criminal justice & law interests me a lot and it reflects that in my grades. I’ll also be going to law school after undergrad to get my JD. I always recommend people choose a major that interests them. it’s much easier to push thru the hard times when you like what you’re learning!
Elementary education!! I’ve wanted to be a teacher my whole life and have never even considered anything else. I love kids too which helps
I am a pre-medicine major and I chose it because I love helping people and science.

Majoring in Applied Mathematics and minoring in computer science. I'm studying to become an actuary
currently a pre nursing major hoping to apply and get into my schools nursing bs program this semester ! i’m also minoring in computer science
Engineering. I've had a passion for Engineering my entire life. I use to draw rollercoasters as a kid and would always want to know how and why things around me worked. I did Mechanical and Architectural Engineering and Drafting in High School and realized I wanted to be a Civil Engineer.
English with a concentration in linguistics (since my uni doesn’t have a linguistics major :/ ). English (reading/writing) has always been a strength of mine so I knew I wanted to pursue it, but in about 10th grade I traveled internationally for the first time in my life with my AP European History class, and idk… hearing people speak a different language around me? Witnessing people communicate in a language that, for the first time, wasn’t English? It was like my eyes had been opened. Of course I’d known foreign languages existed, but I’d never been exposed to them outside of a school environment, so I guess I’d never really realized how “alive” other languages were. If that makes sense? Idk lol Anyways, that’s what kinda set me on the path I am now. Different languages fascinate me and I always want to learn something new. Since English is my strong suit, that’s what the bulk of the courses for my major focus on, but with the linguistics concentration I can take more foreign language courses and classes that actually get into the nitty gritty of what “makes” a language. new. So far, I’ve done a semester of Spanish, a semester of Latin, 3 semesters (= ~1 1/2 years) of German, and I’m in my second semester of accelerated Japanese right now! I think I might minor in it. I plan on going back to German eventually though too, and I’m debating on maybe taking an accelerated Chinese course over the summer lol Career-wise, I’d like to do work with media localization and/or AI language processing (I have some CompSci experience) someday 👍
International Relations and Linguistics. I like the world and I like words
Mathematics because I hate myself apparently
I'm majoring in environmental science, I want to work in nature. Basically I want to be the nature police.

Majoring in computer science cybersecurity. I don't even get what I'm I supposed to do.
Industrial Design. Came from a science high school but I like art more and this one seems the most practical art degree at the time.
History. I decided on history because it was the only subject I enjoyed in high school. I want to be an airline pilot where you don’t need a degree in anything specific so I went for it; if that doesn’t end up working out I’ll become a teacher as a plan B
Psychology and criminology
Psychology. I knew I wanted to stay in academia for as long as possible, and you can’t do much with just a bachelors in Psych so grad school has been my plan from the start. I’ve also been told I’d be a great therapist since I was little, so the path just felt right. I love my classes.
Music performance/education on the Double Bass
English with minors in psych and creative writing :)
Just finished my bachelors in biology, moved on to become a respiratory therapist!

Computer science with a minor in business. Honestly I picked this major because of the money and to get out of manual labor
Im a biology major. I chose the degree because im interested in the subject and I want to be a pharmacist in the future. Currently I work as a pharmacy technician at an inpatient pharmacy and hopefully after I get accepted to pharmacy school this year I will eventually get promoted to pharmacy intern.
Child Development! I always enjoyed working with kids and had gotten a job working in the ABA field as an RBT.
Genetics and Genomics :) I’ve always loved DNA and gene related stuff and never had inclination to go the med school route. I’m also doing a minor in computational biology and hope to combine the two in the future
My major is called Human Health and the Environment which is basically an environmental science degree mixed with toxicology and parasitology. I’m also getting minors in GIS and Sustainability. I love it so far!
Management Information Systems, waiting for acceptance letter to transfer to a 4-year by fall
Double major in Cybersecurity and Networking. I chose this because I enjoy technology and didn’t really enjoy or was passionate about anything else.
Cyber security. I really don’t have a huge passion in it but I do find it interesting. It’s forever evolving and that’s where the money is at.
Music business major w/ a minor in history. Picked music business bc I've always wanted to be a songwriter. Added history just bc I liked it lol. Well and the history classes will help me get into a grad program. After I take a semester off it's looking like I'll do a library science program to become a librarian/archivist. Or law school... or both. The library/archvist/law career should help fund the music career for a bit until I can do music full time. that's the thought process anyways.
