Just starting college searching and it blows. I know a major isn't 100% necessary right from the start but some ideas of good majors plus a job that follows that are things to think about. What is your major and what job are you pursuing?

Environmental Studies with a double major in something else (like philosophy, political science, or hard science like geology)
I want to do environmental law one day.
Because I want to make a difference somehow, no matter how minor it may seem at the time.

Political science because I find it very interesting. I don't know at all what I want to do later on, but here are some fields such as foreign affairs that may tempt me.

Broadcast Systems Technology.

Took it because it's a pretty sweet industry. I've worked some live sports events, it's such a fun experience. Really good money, and you get to travel if you want. So with that background, I went into the course to become a broadcast engineer.

The money is in computers, anything with computers whether that is software engineer, network security...companies pay big bucks for people who know how to make their technology run smooth and know how to fix it when it breaks.

Geographic Information Systems & Spatial Analysis... already graduated and I got into it because of many reasons but also the technology we have developed in the past decade is insane and the technology that is in the works and going to be real in the near future is mind blowing. I get to do work with some technology that a very small amount of people have access to.

Finance because it pays well and I'm really good at it.

Too bad all those wall street shitcunts had to go and give it a bad name. I always get a slightly filthy look when I tell people what I'm studying.

Oh and commercial law because it's easy, is good knowledge to have and will help with employment opportunities.

Environmental Science and French... I don't know how I am going to apply these to life, but coming out of High School they where the things I had most credits in and a few years later I am stuck with it.

my dad is a petroleum engineer and he doesnt make that much. also the job market is fucking terrible here in PA. poor choice on my dads part i guess on picking his major regarding where we live

im thinking pharmacy? anyone have any comments?

and i hate physics so should i pretty much cross out anything to do with engineering off of my list?

if you want to go into pharmacy and don't like physics i would suggest chemical engineering. You only have to take 2 physics classes, the basic and then magnetic/electricity, its not bad at all. I am thinking about doing pharmacy myself

A.S. in Media Comm. so I can have avenues to filming, marketing, HRM, etc.  B.S. in Business Administration because....ummm.. I thought it would be a good degree to get..and eventually get the M.B.A.  I'm minoring in Athletic Coaching because I love soccer and coaching it would be awesome because I'm super competitive but I'll only be able to play for so long.  Still couldn't give an example of exactly what I want to do though.
