<p>trying to find out what to do with life. Let’s see here. I like math, I like history, I don’t like sex. Say. I’ll just do THIS.</p>
<p>college dropout/entrepreneur (pretend it’s a major)</p>
<p>Some rich kid who had the guts to dropout of college and become an entrep. because either he was extremely hubristic and/or had parents who were either high middle class or rich so he knew he would have a backup in case he failed, which most do.</p>
<p>Political Science and International Relations with intention to go to Law School</p>
<p>cliche. That’s like a would-be doctor choosing Biology as his major. Yawn.</p>
<p>Applied Mathematical Economics + Industrial Engineering Technology (possibly minor)</p>
<p>@TomServo
Fair enough. But you also have no idea what the (a large portion of the) design field is about.</p>
<p>@MonkeyKing1
You do realize that it’s possible to …gasp…return to college if your plan fails? The worker bees these days never fail to amaze me…</p>
<p>@ mamaroneck
Math-head who’s focused on applying math to the real world.</p>
<p>Philosophy</p>
<p>Pretentious nitpicker who has to waste 4 years and thousands of dollars when he could just pick up a book.</p>
<p>Chemistry</p>
<p>post number 666</p>
<p>Remember guys, this IS about stereotypes, not what the realities of each major are.</p>
<p>“But you also have no idea what the (a large portion of the) design field is about.”</p>
<p>I sure don’t, but the whole point here is to have fun stereotyping.</p>
<p>Stereotypes, sure, but of what people who major in XXX are like. When discussing what a certain discipline really is, that’s where the uninformed stereotyping ought to end. I think this thread, while fun, is also a good chance to clear up misconceptions about certain majors (though that certainly shouldn’t derail the thread).</p>
<p>Since nobody gave me a major, I’ll do one:</p>
<p>Computer and information sciences:</p>
<p>Likes computer programming, wants to work as a software engineer, but didn’t want to do all of the math and theory involved in a real CS degree.</p>
<p>Agricultural engineering.</p>
<p>Worked on a farm as a kid, has a poor family, possibly first in his family to attend college. Smarter than the average Farmer John, and wears overalls to class. Likes getting his hands dirty; engineering type.</p>
<p>Physics PhD student.</p>
<p>Interested in science, but don’t really give a crap about life and money</p>
<p>Finance major, minor in math and economics</p>
<p>Greedy SOB who in the future is going to be caught in some multi-million dollar fraud and get off easy because he puts the blame on someone else.</p>
<p>Double major in electrical engineering and political science with a minor in business</p>
<p>

<p>Thank you my presumptuous kind sir.</p>
<p>^^ Will take more than 4 years to graduate. Doesn’t know if he/she wants to work in law/politics/etc. or engineering.</p>
<p>Plumbing (trade)</p>
<p>Loves to have greasy hands</p>
<p>Turfgrass science</p>
<p>

<p>Sorry, but anyone who criticizes entrepreneurs obviously can’t fathom an existence beyond their corporate slavery. Some people actually have the guts to start their own company, and most aren’t “hubristic” (which isn’t a word, by the way) nor are they from rich families.</p>
