How are you choosing your major?

<p>Is it because you enjoy it? Because it is in high demand for the job market? Both? :O</p>

<p>I’m not sure what I want to major in, and I have exactly a little over a year to figure that out :/</p>

<p>I’m leaning heavily towards linguistics right now, though I’m also interested in art stuff like music, design and photography, plus a lot of other things that I haven’t really had the chance to explore yet (astronomy -gasp-). I’m just saying linguistics because it seems amazing to me and I haven’t become bored with it in the last year like I have most of my other passing interests.</p>

<p>I chose it because I love it and I’m sticking with it because of its opportunities, both intellectual and financial.</p>

<p>I think I’m gonna pick it due to it’s demand in the future and the salary. I guess you will always have to work no matter what even when you are old. So mind as well do something that will pay a lot. You may not like the job but who wouldn’t be happy making 6 figures a year. I would want to major in what I love but there are so many useless degrees. At the same time a major doesn’t decide the career. Who knows maybe I’ll change my mind and take on a whole new path.</p>

<p>I picked both of my majors and both of my minors because they’re what I’m passionate about.</p>

<p>I’d rather follow my heart than a dollar sign.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I love astronomy (main EC) but I’m leaning towards PoliSci and humanities majors or maybe physics if I become better at it.</p>

<p>I’m just going to roll a dice that has different majors on each side. I hope I don’t get fashion designing!</p>

<p>Because it’s what I’ve wanted to do since I was seven years old.</p>

<p>I haven’t chosen a specific major.
I know whatever it is, it will be something I truly love to do! :)</p>

<p>Still trying to decide, but I’m choosing purely on interest because I have plans to go to med school. I’m between physics, neuroscience, physiology, microbiology & immunology, and anatomy & cell biology.</p>

<p>I fell in love with French February vacation in 8th grade. I’ve known I want to major in it since college first entered my mind (freshman year, even if I didn’t do any research then). So, I guess the first one…</p>

<p>EDIT: Linguistics for the same reason, but much more recently</p>

<p>because I’m good at math and physics and generally suck at anything else to make a career out of it (can I make a career out of reading and doodling? no? not really? damn)</p>

<p>also to make explosives and robots and exploding robots that break dance</p>

<p>

xkcd. nuff said.</p>

<p>that’s a career out of reading, doodling, and being awesome</p>

<p>I don’t think I have the awesomeness level.</p>

<p>I’m going to do what my parents didn’t do first and foremost, and I’m going to do what interests me, though I’m not quite sure yet.</p>

<p>International studies because I love it! & I want to work in Washington DC… or somewhere in the US.</p>

<p>I’ve loved computer science since I first messed with a computer at age 3.</p>
