I'm a finance major and will get my MBA when i'm finished as an undergrad. I decided on this path (business) for money. yeah, yeah, I know, "thats no way to choose a major" and "money dosent make you happy" but I think id be a lot less happy without it, and I think I could do pretty much anything I wanted to anyway with a degree in FINN and an MBA. | ||

I've narrowed mine down to four. Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Accounting or Buisness. I don't know what to do, so maybe I will just be a hobo for a few years. Any suggestions? | ||

I majored in Chemistry, got my bachelor's, master's and Ph. D. in chemistry. I switched to food science and became assistant prof., then became a very successful soccer coach and opened retails stores and other enterprises around town. Earning your degrees is great discipline which is a great prerequisite for success. My son was a chemical engineer, graduated later from law school and is not a corporate lawyer. I don't think chemical engineering has much to with law. Neither does chemistry with soccer. But applying yourself does have a lot to do with success. | ||

I am currently a second year student at Bucknell University double majoring in economics and philosophy with a minor in german. After that, I plan on going to law school and then getting into corporate law. I was going to do my Ph.D in philosophy, but I was deterred because some people said it might hurt my career *shrug* | ||

BS, MS in mechanical engineering at UVA. PhD in mechanical engineering at VPI. Built a crude go cart out of an old Clinton lawnmower engine when I was 11 years old. Parents thought I should be an engineer. As my parents did not run their family as a democracy, I became an engineer. It worked out well for me. | ||

Well, I was a 4th-year sophomore majoring in Anthropolgy at FSU when I switched to accounting... My real major was trying to prove the theory that there ain't no such thing as having too much fun... Those first accounting classes were interesting. I had long hair and didn't wear underwear. I got hired by the IRS in Houston when I graduated, and I had a plan. I was gonna stay in Houston one year and then haul butt. That was almost 26 years ago <sigh>. Started going to grad school at the Univ of Houston because traffic was so bad. Got an MBA and got talked into going for a PhD. Big mistake. I shoulda gone to law school. But if I had, I wouldn't be DrTax, would I? Ever since then, I haven't been able to hold a job. Problem is that people ask me what I think, so I tell em. Maybe I should tell them what they want to hear instead. All this started back in kindergarten. I was one of those kids who got bad marks in "Plays well with others..." From a CPA in Texas who is trying to find this different drummer that everybody keeps talking about. | ||

Marketing. McMurry College, Abilene, Texas. When? Back in the stone ages. We were still using the abacus as a calculator. Did marketing research analysis with a major supermarket chain for a few year afterward. Then decided I liked cars better and got into sales in 1981. Life has been a journey......... | ||
