<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>Currently an undergraduate student at Ohio State University. Just dropped out of engineering (somehow convinced myself engineering was suited for me). I was miserable and the classes were getting progressively impossible for me to comprehend. Plus I feel I was starting to lose interest overall in being in the engineering field.</p>
<p>So now I'm between majors. I've been in college for about 2.5 years. I have no college debt (mainly due to Mom works at the university). </p>
<p>I do not want to graduate with a useless degree but I also do not want to graduate with a degree I will not like. Tough one ehh? </p>
<p>Before I mention what other degree's I'm starting to look into, let me give some background:</p>
<p>I've grown up around business. My Mom has her MBA and my Dad has his own small business. I've contributed many ideas to my dad's business, which the end result made him 90% paper-less and more-so digital. The way his business works now is much more efficient than the traditional Landscape company that logs with paperwork and more paper.</p>
<p>It would seem obvious that it would be smart for me to go into a business field but I've been swayed over the past years NOT to go into business. The market is saturated with recent grads with a business degree, and usually landing at a starbuck's job. </p>
<p>I've been researching an Information Systems Degree (aka MIS). I cannot get a straight answer on whether this degree is useless or not. To my understanding an Information System's degree is someone who does little to no coding but manages the people who do code/develop programs and put their programs into place for a business. I know a manager position is not something easily obtained and requires years of experience but the end result is a managing position. </p>
<p><em>I dislike coding, never caught my interest</em> But IS seems to combine business and technology and I really find that very interesting.</p>

<p>The second major I am looking at is Health Information Management & Systems
Here is a description: <a href="http://majors.osu.edu/pdfview.aspx?id=76%5B/url%5D">http://majors.osu.edu/pdfview.aspx?id=76</a></p>
<p>It looks to be similar to an IS degree but obviously more aimed to the health industry. I've always been told the keyword <em>health or medical</em> is the way to go when choosing a degree in college. </p>
<p>In the end I just want a useful degree that will land me job. I'm not expecting a job to fall in my hands but I do want something that will keep me out of my parents house or going back to school a second time. </p>
<p>What do you guys think? I'm hoping for someone who is in this field, and if someone could give me insight on maybe where to ask this question, please let me know!</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
