<p>i'm a marketing major. i like being creative, and i also really like statistics and numbers. so i figure with marketing, i can end up either on the creative side (advertising, etc) or the math side (market research). my ideal job would be creating marketing materials for a university.</p>
<p>Well, I'm a journalism major. But I've decided I don't want to beb a journalist. And even if I did, I'd be better off in a different major and just writing for the paper or something, b/c who wants to take classes on reporting?</p>
<p>When I transfer I will be double majoring in Latin American Studies (emphasis on politics, my particular interest being Guatemala.) and Philosophy with a minor in Ancient Greek. The philosophy and ancient greek are purely out of love for the material. I want to end up working in human rights activism in Latin America so it seemed logical to spend my college years getting an indepth knowledge of its history.</p>
<p>Human Biology, it was a no brainer. I was always curious of how we as humans came into being such complex.</p>
<p>Pure Math: because I love math and abstraction. CS: because it's in some sense isomorphic to math, plus you get to do cool things like nuclear imaging and distributed programming.</p>
<p>I'm currently an astrophysics major. I've always been a rather science-oriented person, and physics was my favorite high school science course. After the Physics 111 test I just took, though, I'm starting to doubt whether I actually know anything about the subject. Heh.</p>
<p>I really want to major in Classics. It's either that or English, but I think Classics would be best for me because I feel like it's more interdisiplinary than English. I'm getting Latin and Greek, and history, and writing, all in one major. Plus, I'm great at Latin. My latin teacher now is thrilled that I want Classics. I'm not sure if I want to go into writing and journanalism, or law, but either way, the rigor of the classics, i think will prepare me.</p>
<p>I put a bunch of majors in a hat and picked out one. I'm now doing business</p>
<p>I'm a music major. Like most music majors, I didn't choose it...it chose me. I just wouldn't be happy doing anything else.</p>
<p>I'm a comparative literature major. I thought for the longest time I'd be a women's studies major, because I know I'd like to enter a career in women's health, but I became so stressed about my major as my entire identity that I became completely disenchanted with the women's studies discpline. I'd been resisting the notion of becoming an English major even though everyone I know was surprised that I wasn't one, because I know I'll always be reading and writing, but I finally decided to pursue something I was interested in and liked studying (lit) and I can still have a career in women's health.</p>
<p>Astrophysics and Math. I came to my school thinking that I would be a Math and French major, but I got sucked into my school's observatory and discovered I enjoyed playing with telescopes. My school has both an Astronomy major and an Astrophysics major, but they encourage those who want to go to grad school in Astronomy to do the Astrophysics major. Our Astrophysic major is the full 9 (10 really) course Physics major plus 4 Astronomy classes. By the time I declared I had done half a math major, so I figured I'd declare that too. It just kind of happened, but now everyone thinks I'm a freak.</p>
<p>I've known what I wanted to so since I was a wee laddie. Meteorology and only that, nothing else.</p>
<p>Even after working in IT for 5 years, and going to school to get an AAS in Information Technology, I'm now going for it.</p>
<p>I'm jealous...I've loved meteorology for as long as I can remember.</p>
<p>Sexualities. I just decided yesterday actually. It's an inter-disciplinary major that I'll create with an advisor. It'll have classes from comparative literature, psychology, anthropology, gender studies, and sociology.</p>
<p>So excited!!!</p>
<p>Majoring in Physics, Computer Science, and Electrical Engineering.</p>
<p>Sometimes, people seem torn between thinking that I'm awesome smart for knowing all that stuff, and thinking that I'm an indecisive naive little punk who thinks he can actually pull off any of that. :)</p>

<p>The attrition rate of those chosing it as a major is high though. by what I know the intro courses at large schools start off at 150+</p>
<p>by the time they're in their senior year, the number of met majors at the scame schools drop to about 40-50. I feel it's either because of the extensive math, or the branches out from it like Oceanography, Climatology, Geology, etc.</p>
<p>I'm a fine arts major and sure this (illustration/animation) is what i want to do for the rest of my life but worried about job availability and money...(ofcourse. and i want to get a masters in animation. it actually exists, whoa) I've been thinking about changing it but haven't found any other good majors... sniff. Going to minor in animation</p>
<p>Computer and Electrical engineering,</p>
<p>UM ive always wanted to be an hardware engineer, so there ya go.</p>
<p>History. One of the oldest liberal arts has been studying and reflecting on what happened before your time, or even earlier in your time, and why it happened. I've always loved history. It was originally my minor though. Psychology used to be my major, but I found it had too much science in it, and later on it was going to have too much math for me. So I switched to History. Beautiful decision for me. I plan to become a History professor (wish me luck!).</p>
<p>I started out with Engineering (undecided, but leaning towards mechanical) because I'd alway enjoyed Physics and other sciences and figured that applying them to create things would be a good career.</p>
<p>Next semester I'll be an English major, and then I'll add Physics. As of now, I see teaching in my future. And it makes me happier.</p>
