What was/were your major/minor(s) in college?

[Jenn! 918]

Many of my friends don't really work in any field that's at all related to what they studied during college. What was your major and/or minor? Do you use those subjects in your current job? If not, how come?

I was a Math major/Music minor. I use Math everyday at my job, but not Music. My Music minor was more for my own edification than preparation for a future job.

Well I spent the first two and a half years as a biomedical engineering major. Then I changed my mind and graduated with a Business Admin degree with a concentration in Accounting. Yes I use it.

I started out as a Math major and was thinking of minoring music with the idea of teaching, but I ended up dropping out of those courses and taking studio art, finishing with a degree in Character Animation.

BA in history, minor in South Asian studies. I was actually a music major for 3 of the years but dropped it because I didn't want to be an operatic singer anymore. History was the thing I had a lot of credits in and good grades, so I finished up with that.

I have never used any of those things in a practical way. Mostly everything I learned was for my own edification.

I'll start my grad degree in August in journalism, and hopefully I'll be using that for a good long while.

My original major was Chem Engg.; unfortunately, the bottom fell out of Canada's oil industry a little before I graduated (due in no small measure to chopfrack Jean Chretien's National Energy Policy ), so I switched to doing an Assoc. Degree in IT, followed by MSCS (at a US university); my basic work experience has been in IT.

Wow! That's awesome! Perhaps some of that helps you with moderating the rugged bunch here.

My BA major was Sociology, almost had a minor in Psychology but was missing a class or two.

I haven't used it. I am glad I went to college though and I did like a lot of what I learned.

My last job was as a Preschool teacher, the only requirement for the job was a 4 year degree. Otherwise ,in my area at least, there are no decent jobs in Sociology unless you get a Masters degree in it.

I almost majored in Biology in college but changed my mind.
