I majored in English Literature when I was in university. The reason was simple lame. I heard that in other departments, the students were really busy, but for English department, the students have more time to do other things. I love English and therefore, it sounds good to me to have more time to do my other stuff *smiles*.

I majored in Accounting. I wanted to take up Political Science or Psychology but my father convinced me to take up Accounting instead since its easier to find a job with that course. Well, I think he is right but there is still this part of me that wonders where will I be now if I pursued what I had wanted in terms of major.

Psychology you have to go to school for forever, and classes are insanely hard! Or at least, the ones I dealt with seemed to be which is what turned me away from it. I didnt want to go to school for a whole other 5 or 6+ years of schooling lol, nosireee!
Marketing major for me! I want to run my own business, :P Financial advisory of some sort is what i'm thinking.

I was a single Mom of two so, I had to wait until I was 30 and my son was 13 before I got a chance to go to college. I had been kicked out of high school at 15 for being pregnant and gotten my GED. I had no idea what I wanted to take when I passed the exam to gain entrance into college but I knew I wanted something that would make a lot of money. LOL I ended up getting a four year degree in Computer Science and went from making 13,000 a year to making 90,000 a year after graduating. Now, I quit my job and I am a stay at home Mom to two more kids that my husband and I adopted. We are actually working on adopting a third!

Yeah, $13,000 to $90,000 a year is an awfully big difference, aha! I need to get back into college here & get a good career going for me! Most i'm going to be pulling off in the near future is probably about $25,000+ a year.

Sounds like you might want to take a break and assess what you want to do with your life, I dont know. Just my suggestion! I went through about 10 ideas before I finally decided what I wanted to do. I had time to think about it because after my first semester and a community college, I decided to take a break and do a lot of research and explore my interests and I found that Marketing/Business stood out the most & would be the most profitable and most enjoyable for me as a person.

It spent me 4 years in university,i majored in computer science and technology,but in fact i don't like it at all.I just followed the flows,there was no choice,many guys graduated from their senior high school,didn't know which major to choose, so did I. I even don't know whether i regret or not.I'm interest in lots of things,but just a little bit interested. And the job is not my love,it's difficult for me to decide my direction. The major you study in college is important for your way,i'm very confused now,and seek for a correct way is my task.

I did my major in Journalism. I always had a desire to express myself and loved writing too. But then later, I realized Journalism is not just about expressing oneself. Many other factors count as well. Despite that, my passion for writing is still alive and that's why, I want to set up my career through writing only.

My major was psychology. I was only able to complete one year as both my parents became ill and needed my undivided attention. I never did return to get my degree and have regreted it ever since that time. Was married at the time I attended and had children. The schedule was a bit too hectic.
