What was/is everyone's major? Why did you choose this particular major?

[niceone]

My major is Chemical Engineering. Why I chose this major....good question. I went to a high school for the engineering professions so basically engineering was all I really knew. I chose chemical because I thought I would love working with chemicals and creating things. It's a very tough major and I'm struggling but I plan to graduate as a chemical engineer.(God spare)

My major is political science. I basically chose this major because I am planning on going into law school after I graduate. And that was one of the majors the fit my plans. The other was criminal justice, and I really did not want to limit myself to that. Also I really enjoy politics, especially foreign relations.

I'm a english and secondary education major. I like to read and write so English is a natural choice. I want to specialize on contemporary literature written by people of color. I want to teach English and I don't like elementary school kids so secondary education.

Hey ladies,

My major is Sociology. I picked it because I want to find a way to deal with problems facing the African-American community. I do want to help individuals, but my career will focus on African-American communities as a whole. Also, I'm thinking of opening up some type of non-profit organization/community center (after I start and finish graduate school). Sociology seemed like the best major for me. It may change in grad school though.

Hello all,
My major is Psychology with a minor in Elementary Education. I discovered my love for Psychology during my Sophomore year in High School where I took the class as an elective. I had never encountered a subject so intriguing. I wanted to know what motivated to people to behave the way that they do. I always liked to try to figure people out; understand their motives. Then, I have a love for, or should I say that I am better able to tolerate misbehavior of thechildren. So, I decided to go into the field of Child Psychology. I plan to work as an Eduacator while pursuing my Psy.D, in Child Psychology. Once I achieve that I will open a private practice.....

Kitten03, my major is also English and my minor is Secondary Education! How completely fascinating! I LOVE to write! I started writing a book last summer, but never had the time to continue it. I lost interest...I think it's because I am a comedy writer and what I started writing was more Stephen King/Dean Koontz. Anyway, I prefer working with the high school kids too. Right now I work with the little ones and they have WAY too much energy for me!

My undergraduate major was Speech/Communicative Disorders. I was always fascinated with speech disoders(stuttering), fluency disorders, voice problems, and language disorders. The field is one that has many opportunities and there are so many different work settings. The program at my school is one of the few in the country that allows undergraduates to conduct clinical practicum(therapy). During my first semester of clinic(my junior year), I decided that this was really not what I wanted to do. I stuck it out because I refused to be in undergrad more than four years.

This fall, I will be entering graduate school pursuing a masters in Health Services Administration. I did take some classes in Healthcare Administration during my senior year of undergrad. I want to be an advocate for African Americans and other minorities to help make health care more accessible to them.

I am a Political Science/Psychology major. I chose this major because I plan on attending law school and becoming a criminal prosecuting attorney (federal gov't). I chose Psychology because as a lawyer, I wanted to be able to dictate what type of behaviors witnesses, lawyers, judges etc., displayed in the courtroom. If that doesn't pan out, I plan to become a criminologist.

I was a chemistry major. I choose it because I fell in love with chemistry in High School and couldn't see myself majoring in anything else.

[blu_theatrics]

I have a double major of criminal justice and theatre (i know strange combination)
I also have two minors. One in Deviant sociology and one in public affairs

But amazingly, I am now looking into getting my master's in Social Work.

I guess, I am just a jack-of-all-trades or as my mother calls it
"too lazy to make a real desicion"

But I have found over the years that I love working with children and especially teenagers, so I think that I will stick with the social work thing.....lol

My major is Radio, Television, and Film. I chose this major because I want to become a director in films and the stage. I was a theatre arts major but I believe that my talents would be better appreciated behind the scenes instead of up on the stage acting, even though I love it.
