What major are/were you in college and why?

Help. The struggle of being undecided and not knowing is overwhelming me.

I was a Computer Networking major.  I, unfortunately, did not follow up after college and I am not currently working in that field.  My advice, find something you like to do and stick with it.  If you do anything long enough it is bound to pay off.

Mine is Photojournalism. Why? I like taking pictures.

My major was web design, and it was chosen because it was a hobby I had for a few years before college.

My major was philosophy, because it came very easily to me. I even went on to get a Ph.D. in it. But I highly recommend that you not just select something that comes easily to you. Also make sure it is something you will be able to find work in later on. I always had a very difficult time finding work with an advanced degree in philosophy. My daughters have masters in business and engineering and they have no trouble at all finding high paying jobs.

I was a physics and applied mathematics double major.  Originally it was just physics, because I was/am always curious about how things work...plus I wanted to be a mission specialist astronaut.  My eye sight was too bad to be a pilot, but the science route was open.  I ended up picking up the math major because I was taking all the math elective courses because I simply like math, and only needed 2 advanced courses to get the degree.

About 10 years after graduation, I found myself in computer programming with our contract coming up for renewal.  I went back and picked up a computer science degree so I would be more marketable in the field should we have lost the contract (at the time, to get a job in the field required a degree or minimum 10 years in the field, which I only had 5 at the time...).  Computers/programming was always a hobby of mine since my dad got our family a Commadore 64 when I was a kid.  Was programming it within a week.

I ended up majoring in Accounting.

My major is Electrical  and Computer Engineering Technology.. The reason why I picked that was because out of the elctronics class I taked in HS.. I find it enjoyable compared to the other useless programs offered in my HS.... I wanted to be a electronic technician at first, but there wasn't a close reputable trade school in my area.. I pursue my ELT. degree at a community college my brother went to as a civil engineer and thats when I stuck with it....

My Major in college was a Bachelors of Science in Business Infromation Systems and a minor in History and Meterology.  When I graduated I was the first student to complete the Bachelors of Science and my good friends from college were the first to complete the Bacheors of Arts in Business Information Systems and Bachelors of Comunity Business Information Systems.

I'm a Language Studies major with a focus in Japanese I had tons of trouble choosing my major too because my parents kept telling me that I needed a major that would get me a high-paying job in the future. But in the end, I picked Language Studies because that's what I was interested in.

So you should pick something you're interested in and just study it. It'll make your life a lot easier and you'll do A LOT better (in terms of grades) if you study something you enjoy.
