Old majors: Computer science and Business Finance

Current Major: Criminal Justice
possible minor: Political Science (If I can fit in 2 more classes)

College Major: Psychology

Graduate degree: Applied Developmental Psychology, possibly continuing to a Psy.D program in Clinical Psychology with a child emphasis

My current major is LIFE (don't ask lol but its really Psychology for now) with a minor in pre-medicine. I am a clueless student :confused: ...that's why I've been struggling lately. When I arrived this fall, people scared me out of my initial major...so now I'm...stuck like chuck. I really want to go to medical school, but I have to find courage and FAITH to keep me from running away from all of life's challenges that somehow seemed to pop-up out of nowhere since I've been on my own.......

I started out my freshman year as a computer science major. Then quickly changed to accounting. Then doubled in accounting and marketing, and now i'm back to just accounting. Seeing as i have two semesters left *sp 05, fall 05* I'm not changing for ANY reason.

Major: Criminal Justice
Minor: Spanish

1st Degree in Industrial Animal Science - I worked as a researcher for Bayer in a stuffy lab for one year and decided I could not do this the rest of my life.

Current Major: Nursing
I'm looking to become a nurse practioner in women's health

Vocation Information
 

I wonder what people do all day for those of us who go to work after finishing school. What are you doing now? What kind of work is it? For those of you still in school, what do you want to do?

I am a re-entry specialist for adult males. This is a fancy term for counselor/case-manager for a prison program that helps men go back into the community with a job.

You?

WOW, were you a social work major? I have both B.S. and M.S.W. degrees in social work. Currently, I'm an Adjunct Instructor at a local community college teaching in a Social Science area.

Actually, I majored in criminal justice with concentrations in psychology, corrections, and women's and minority studies. I'm thinking about going back for social work, but we'll see. I actually got lucky and got in good with the superintendents and I was promoted to this position from officer when they switched from kids to adults...

I have a BBA and I will be starting my MBA in June. I'm currently working as a Financial Aid Officer.

YAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!! @ Diva_01 and BrnSuga!!! I have my M.S.W. and used to be a social worker in a men's prison. I also used to be a welfare caseworker. I'm currently a geriatric case manager in a hospital. I go out to client's homes and conduct assessments to get them resources they may need in the community. Can you tell I love being a social worker? :D Check my location.;)

Major: Business Management
Minor: African American Studies

College Major Multicultural Studies

Grad Program Higher Education and Student Affairs

Career Goals Working in African-American Students Services or Residential Life as a Hall Director.

The job that helped me the most is being an Resident Advisor for three years and working in the Multi-cultural office for 2 years. Greek life has also given me experience with groups on campus and working with students.

Ill probably be in college forever :D

Me too! :D

My career goals are slightly different though. I want to be an admissions rep, where I can travel and stuff. I do have an interest in res life coordination, but I think it will totally tire me out (mentally). Some of the stories I heard from other res life people...

Actually I was thinking about admissions rep too. I worked a little in the admissions office as a student recruiter in my undergraduate years.
However, my focus has changed to current students and retention rates as oppose to just getting the students here.

Undergrad Major: Social Work
Undergrad Minor: Public Administration

Currently, teaching Sociology at a technical college

LoJ

I don't know if I posted here already, but anyways,

Undergrad: International Marketing
Graduate: School Counseling (K-12)

Really? I never knew that. Que interesante! :)

We should talk. My BS is in Chemistry, and I'm finishing my Masters in Polymer Chemistry right now. I'm on the job hunt (finally!)

You see I have done nary a thing with that degree, LOL!!!!
I originally enrolled in college as an Accounting major. Made the switch in majors during Junior year.

Graduated May 1, 2004 :D And what a beeeeeautiful day it was! Yes indeed!

Major: Psychology
Minor: African & African American Studies

After graduation I worked with a state funded agency that helps provide funds to low-income persons (minority females) needing money for childcare. Worst job ever. It's one of those jobs you end up getting sucked into for years and years, then you look back and wonder what happened. I was lucky I was able to escape!

Currently seeking a Masters in Public Health. I'm in my 1st of 2 years.

Uuuhhh, I don't know what I want to do with my degree yet. Not a clue. :o I'll figure it out though, hopefully by the time I graduate.;)

Undergrad: Business Management
Concentration: Marketing

Graduate: Physical Education
Specialization: Sports Management

Career: Currently a Graduate Assistant working in Events Management of Athletics Department and managing 17 teams, Men and Women

My major is psychology.

I don't have a minor because I'm too lazy to apply to the education department, but if I wasn't I'd minor in education/child development.

I plan to go on to a doctoral program in school psychology or educational psychology. I'd like to get involved in the psychological services of a public school system, and/or serve as a consultant for a system that serves predominantly minority students (like my old one). I also want to conduct educational research and perhaps get a professorship in an education department at a liberal arts college :D

Right now I'm a research assistant to my statistics professor, and I'm applying for the National Institute of Mental Health's undergradate research program for minorities at my school (NIMH-COR). I also worked at a summer camp last summer for kids ages 5-12 and am going back this summer; I am a Kaplan SAT tutor; and I volunteer at a local elementary school.

I feel like Grad school is so much harder to get though than undergrad. Undergrad, well for me at least, was a lot more challenging. Probably b/c I was growing up, learning how to be the best MsSweetness I could be etc...And don't get me wrong, grad school isn't a breeze but it's hard for me to stay focused. I want this degree bad, but I also want to be working and making money with it NOW!! It's frustrating. Staying focused is key for any degree though. That's what I'm trying to do :cool: <<---I just gotta be cool

Undergrad Major: Finally... Biomedicine (I flop-flopped between Microbiology, Biotechnology and Bio-med... bio-med won)!

Minor: Bio-chemistry

Graduate School: Optometry (1 of 4 years almost down... come on 2009)!

I hear you MsSweetness! This grad school stuff is no joke!
I'm still in shock regarding how much these people actually expect you to do/retain (w/i half the time you're used to in undergrad)!
If I didn't know the power of prayer before... I sure do now!

Anyone else having (had) the Grad School Blues? For all the "had's" please share the knowledge on how you made it through!

Amaterasu:
When you get a chance, research the schools where you're thinking about getting your doctorate from. Check out their requirements for admission. Some may want applicants to have a certain number of credits in Education.
In either case, I think having an Education minor would be a good step for you. That way, you will have even more options for later on in your academic path. :cool:

Advice from Engineering Students
 

Hello all, I am currently an undergraduate student looking to broaden my view of graduate options available to me. For the engineering students, did any of you find it hard to decide which branch of engineering to venture into? I know that a few of them overlap so it has been hard for me to decide what field I want to study. I am currently a mechanical engineering major.

Also, which organizations (NSBE, SWE, etc.) , if any, do you feel best prepared you for life after undergrad?

Undergrad Major: Communication
Undergrad Minor: None
Current Grad Degree Pursuing: National Security Studies


I am currently a military intelligence officer in the Army. I actually use my major every day with all the briefings/presentations I have to do. Plus all the interpersonal communication classes I had to take actually came in handy. Doing grad school and working full time is not the business right now!

Major: Architecture
Minor: Ecological Design

I am currently a state certified & licensed General Contractor and Design-Builder. However, the market in Florida is currently in the tank...so, it's the survival of the fittest for the next year or so.

My family owns a funeral home, therefore, I'm working on my degree in mortuary science...and if all goes well, I'll finish in December '08.

Considering the uncertainty of the economy, it's good to have something to fall back on. Plus, there will always be a need for funeral directors...no matter how bad the economy is! :)

I have 46 days left (including weekends) and I will have my MBA. :D
