What is your college major & when will you be graduating?
Not sure if there's already been a thread on this, but I'm just interested in what y'all learning at college and how you're finding the course/degree so far.
Feel free to talk about other things too, like what makes your of degree enjoying/fun for you. I'm hoping to hear interesting things :) I'm studying accounting and finance. I'm on my last year of accounting and second year of actuarial science. I'm hoping to finish both majors by the end of next year. I really enjoy both of my degrees. Accounting is really easy, but actuarial science is kinda hard. We do quite a few presentations per semester for both, so its kinda fun. I really like presentations. I know some people hate doing them, but most ACCY/FINA stuff has become a 6th sense to me, so I can pretty much BS my way through a presentation without even preparing. You literally just have to walk people through financial statements and stuff, which is as easy as reading from the powerpoint slides. Ironically, this can also be the most difficult thing to do if you have to go through multiple financial statements. I've found myself in that situation quite a few times, but its a good thing that most things add up when I do it the "accounting" way. My major compliments each other so they pretty much help me in both fields |
I thought the rule was to never recite whats already written on your slides because people already know how to read

Where do you live?
You're 17, college for you must be different than college for us, we start at around 17/18 I think you live in NZ, your system is much different I believe Anyway, I like physics and biology/botany, I had to take a year off to raise a baby so I started taking IT courses online from a college near me but probably not going to pursue it any further, I'm probably going to start with Bioinformatics then branch into Botany, education in Canada is going to be much much cheaper in 2017 though so it's good that I waited because I won't end up having to pay around $40,000 |
Studying Computer Technology looking to become a computer technician. Move to the UK, or Australia and open up my own shop. I'm tired of living in the U.S.

Major: Criminal Justice
Minor: Psychology Always loved being in law enforcement and being in the field preventing crimes and helping my community. After college I'll be joining the NYPD and their Police Academy for 6 months then hopefully be ready as a rookie cop. Eventually through the years will try to look for promotions especially as a detective |

Accounting and Finance double. Graduating in the spring, but no clue what Im going to do. Public accounting (auditing/tax service) is kinda shoved in your face because job security and high pay; but I really dont want to do the CPA exam. I'd much rather do corporate accounting; but the job market in my state isnt doing so well. So ill probably try to find a job doing bookkeeping or find something to do at a bank.

I'm majoring in Criminal Justice. I'm also considering double-majoring in Political Science. Took an intro class, liked it, so I'm going to take more and see. |
My major is in Secondary Education with a focus in Social Studies.
My minors are in Theology and Cultural Studies. I will be doing student teaching in the next year. So, graalians, beware, you may have Mr. Macbeth as your teacher if you live in the United States :D |
I had a different major before, forgot to mention that. It was Computer Information Systems (CIS) and the reason I changed to Criminal Justice (CRJ) is because there are so many individuals and groups that commit violent crimes and I want to be apart of the law enforcement that prevents it from happening. Love being in the field and love understanding why certain people do certain things.
CIS wasn't bad. The salary isn't bad either with that degree. But I rather be outside saving lives than stuck in an office all day. |

I currently do not have a college education, but I do have an internship with a company's IT department. I am applying to ******ia Tech, UVA, UMD, and others. Early decision deadline already passed, so I guess I'll apply regular. I will major in computer engineering and potentially minor in journalism, and maybe go to grad school if my job can support it!

Economics major, will be completing undergraduate at UNC in 2019. Not sure whether or not I'll do graduate school somewhere or enter the workforce after that.
Was a biology major before when I wanted to go to med school, but I decided dedicating another decade of my life to more studies wasn't for me, even if it is quite lucrative later. |
