undergrad degrees really don't matter that much unless it is something specific like engineering. Most people don't work in the field of their undergraduate studies

I always regretted not having gone farther with Psychology, I always enjoyed learning about how the mind works and why people act like they do. I find the human psyche endlessly fascinating.

Graduated last fall with a bachelor of social work. Not really any majors or minors in the program. I'll probably go on to a masters program at some point.

Agreed. I would rather avoid doing anything to do with which i did to do with physics in my final years so dry and theoretical. Give me a real life problem any day of the week.

Well for me at uOttawa, you can do your Bachelors of Commerce (4 years), but you pick an option to focus on (accounting, HR, finance, MIS, etc). It's similar to a major, but more concentrated..

So for MIS, I have very few electives because there are many mandatory courses I have to take. I don't even have the option to minor because there is no room in my schedule.

Finance if you choose the finance option. They are ALL business degrees, just depends what you choose to do.

Mine is more computer engineering if anything. It combines business with IT/comp courses.

currently its environmental studies. im sure i will stick with it at this point, and will probably end up with an emphasis on climate and energy

also cu boulder has a 15 credit business minor so i might try to get that too depending on how i progress. i think it would be a good thing to have

should take environmental science instead. then you get a BSc rather than a BA. not that there's anything wrong with a BA.

Double major in ecology and biological anthropology. Hoping to spend a year as a primatology field assistant once I graduate then potentially get a position in environmental remediation for awhile before I start considering a masters.
