<p>I chose it partly because it's what my older sister did, and partly because I only had a choice of three majors because of a program that I'm part of. The other were bio and animal science; the latter is useless, and I don't like the college (within my university) that administers biology.</p>
<p>I like biochemistry and probably will not change my major. It is sooo versatile, too. Right now, I plan to use it to become a veterinarian, but if I switch to human medicine, it will be just as valid.</p>
<p>Computer science or EECS or Film or Business.</p>
<p>i don't know. and i'm almost a junior now and trying to transfer. all the schools want me to make up my mind, but my crappy little CC in TN didn't have any options for me to explore what i wanted.</p>
<p>I came into college an Econ/Math major having not taken a science in 2 years. With Gen Chem I just became completely obsessed with the subject, while econ and math paled in comparison. It was definitely about finding a passion for me.</p>
<p>I'm completely happy, and plan on going to graduate school for Organic Chemistry or Pharmacology. Chemistry just makes everything make sense to me.</p>
<p>That was really sentimental, but for me it was less about the utility of a major and more about what I was completely obsessed with.</p>
<p>And then I'm a Dance minor because, well, I dance and it just kind of happened.</p>
<p>I'm a freshman at Cal majoring in bioengineering. I chose this major because I did some research about the field (it's quite new), and it seemed very similar to my interests. While Cal isn't the best bioengineering undergraduate university in the world, it's certainly not bad either. Also, I'm considering pre-med and bioengineering is a good route into med school, but with a fallback plan of being an engineer.</p>
<p>Started out as biomechanical engineering / electrical engineering, now Econ</p>
<p>I did really well in engineering classes first year, but didn't like it. I'm also really good at Econ, so I decided to give it a shot. It's awesome. More relevant to daily life. Easier classes. More time for ECs, internships, research etc. Also, I can finish it in 3 years and in the fourth year complete a Masters (my university allows it).</p>
<p>Lesson: even if you're good at something, if you don't like it don't do it. Do something you like (hopefully you'll be good at it)</p>
<p>Yeah, as of now I'm not really sure what I want to do when I get out of college. I'm a freshman, so I still have some time to decide. From what I've heard, college gives opportunity to explore, but I somehow disagree with that. Yes, it gives opportunity for new things, but you find them yourself without any college assistance. What do they mean by opening opportunities, simply taking any odd course that sounds interesting? I mean how do y'all guys 'explore' other than by yourselves without any college help and guide along the way? What kinds of 'help' or advice for choosing majors do colleges provide other than some interest test that they charge for? My college isn't really opening doors for me, or am I just not walking down the right avenues?</p>
<p>Biological Sciences and Math
Even though I like chemistry classes better, there are bio classes without labs, plus I get to take physics for the bio major.</p>
<p>No idea what I want to do with my life. I have tentatively ruled out research, am wavering on the health professions idea, and suddenly find myself wishing I was an econ major...
I've also thought about becoming a teacher since age four.</p>
<p>It's best to weigh your options until the first semester of your second year, especially those of you who have interests that are polar opposites. The classes you take for Biology aren't the same ones you take for Film.</p>
<p>I'm majoring in math, applied math, and physics. I always wanted to be a mathematician, and my calculus teacher showed me how neat rigor is. I took a major in applied math as well, and then a major in physics so that I can take the grad classes in plasma physics.</p>
<p>Also, lots of people say that it's not good to decide on a major too early. Maybe this is true for some people; there are certainly others, though, who simply know what they want to major in.</p>
<p>I'm currently an applied math major. I chose it because I'm good with math, and I want to do something more practical with it. Not sure how I like the major yet, though, as I'm not taking any math courses this semester (I'm a freshman). They simply didn't fit into my schedule. Next semester, I'm taking Calc 3, so we'll see how that goes.</p>
<p>I'm actually kind of thinking I want to change my major. The more I think about it, the more I'm not sure I like math that much. I'm good at it, sure, but I'm not sure that's all I want to do. I'm not sure what I would change it to, though. History has always interested me, and I was already thinking of minoring in it. But then, I can't help being practical and wondering what I would do with a history major. Also, I took my first comp. sci. course ever this semester, as you have to take two CS courses for the applied math major. I ended up really liking it, so I may major in that. I'm going to wait until I've had at least one more course before choosing it, though. And then there's always business, which looks kind of interesting and is definitely practical.</p>
<p>I kind of wish I could just have a lot of minors instead of having to choose a major (there's an honors program here that lets you create your own major, but I'm not sure how practical it would be with my leaning towards math and science, since its a very liberal artsy type major). Multiple majors doesn't really work, either, since I really want to make sure I graduate in 4 years (money).</p>
