<p>When I was little I wanted to be a pirate. I still want to be a pirate, but it’s not quite as easy to go be a pirate as I had thought.</p>
<p>I just decided my major a couple months ago. Even so, I might end up changing my mind.</p>
<p>when i was little i wanted to be: a doctor or journalist (for a while) then back to being a doctor again.</p>
<p>When i got to HS i wanted to be an engineer (since my sister was a biomed engineer; but she’s a genius & im not) then i decided i would hate it and would not be able to handale that.</p>
<p>now: kind of unsure but i think i’d like to be a lawyer. We could really use more muslim lawyers so why not if that doesn’t work out i’ll just move back to d.c. or somewhere & work for a government dept [since im bi/multilingual my prospects are better :)…i think…?</p>

<p>I don’t care if I become famous. I want to become an actress/musician/songwriter because I love acting/playing guitar/songwriting. Those activities make me happy, and fame and fortune are just side effects.</p>
<p>Job opportunities probably will be limited, but there still will be opportunities regardless, even if they don’t pay as well.</p>
<p>As I mentioned earlier, I’m not in it for the money and popularity.
Most people in the entertainment industry aren’t, it’s just too tough if you don’t truly love what you’re doing. You get rejected time after time, and eventually, become discourage if you’re in it for the $$$.</p>
<p>I have to figure out what kind of surgeon I want to be though…hmm…</p>
<p><---- Name.</p>
<p>Journalism/Communications. And I don’t want to just write for a local newspaper. I want to make it BIG. I want people to know my name. A lot of people don’t know this about me but I’m a huge undercover sports fan, so being a sports journalist would be my ultimate dream. There are not many females in the profession and I would love to defy the societal denouncement of females who are interested in sports. </p>
<p>Also, I love writing, I’m nosy and curious, and I love interacting with people. I really think it’s the ideal career path for me.</p>
<p>Interesting to see everyone’s responses. Personally, my own intended major has fluctuated a lot throughout high school (mostly due to lack of understanding/information about various subjects), and I had absolutely no idea back in middle school and before that (it’s questionable whether I even knew what a major was), but now I’m pretty sure about what I want. </p>
<p>My freshman year, I still had no idea what I wanted to study. Then in my sophomore year, I wanted to be an Econ major. Then I took AP Macro this year and changed it to political science + a language. Now I’m fairly certain I want to major in linguistics, with a CS minor.</p>
<p>Political Science and/or International Relations</p>
<p>I have so many (so I guess undecided?) </p>
<p>Social/Family/Counseling/School Psychology
International Relations
Political Science
Sociology</p>
<p>East Asian Studies or History with a minor in Folklore and Mythology or Classics.</p>
<p>Physics with some engineering physics classes and philosophy</p>
<p>maybe some minors in italian and history</p>
<p>Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Engineering, Pharmacy, Possibly Pre Dental, Pre Med</p>
<p>swineflu17— math with an emphasis on pure mathematics, or math with an emphasis on economics</p>
<p>^But the baskets woven underwater are in much higher demand by far. Are you going to follow your passion for GLBW at the cost of potentially millions of dollars? =O</p>
<p>I’m not an expert on this…I’m more knowledgeable about the job prospects for biology and engineering majors (those being, after all, my interests). But I suppose that if you major in underwater you can do ground level, but not the other way around. And job prospects for everyone are horrendous–and even worse for such a niche occupation.</p>
<p>They just have a greater skill set than the ground level…not only can they weave baskets, they can also deal with lack of oxygen, high current speeds, and hostile marine life (if they are sufficiently experienced). They don’t take up valuable real estate either–no one bothers evicting people from the ocean floor after all, even if you haven’t paid your mortgage on it.</p>
<p>I don’t know how you would start your own business right after college. It may be possible however to hire other recent UWBW or GLBW grads, pay them nominal wages (the job market is, after all, pretty bad) and reap huge profits. Of course, then you would be subject to governmental investigation and competition from the big basket-weaving companies (Wall Depot and Home Mart, for a start).</p>
<p>Gaaaaaahhhhhhh!!! IDK!!!</p>
<p>I have not done any research about the disciplines in which you have expressed interest. I have been recounting the experience of friends and acquaintances who have studied this subject more extensively than I, and I believe that information is more or less accurate. I do not, however, have the answer to your previous query.</p>
<p>Wow reading up these posts made me realize how immature I probably was when I was still in high school. You guys beat UWBW better than I did back then GJ. BTW pre-med is not a major for those who don’t know.</p>
<p>Welcome to HSL, where we waste lots of time by writing inane posts.</p>
<p>And yes, pre-med is a major; it’s officially called MCB. ;)</p>
<p>I am sure Splonk will find it interesting as well.</p>
