Stereotyping by College Major

College Life
1241

<p>Russian Studies: Either an aspiring Vodka connoisseur or someone who hopes to be the next Cold War hero and has not realized that the Soviet Union has fallen and he/she’d be much better off studying China instead. </p>

<p>Am surprised how management is considered a “practical major” as every alum of a university with an undergrad business school outside of topflight ones like Wharton, NYU, McIntire, etc viewed the Management major as one of the “joke/useless majors” in their respective universities. This was also the perception of nearly all the HR colleagues and hiring managers at one financial company. A few even dubbed it “BS studies”. </p>

<p>Marketing</p>

1242

<p>Thinks its mostly an advertising major, but has to realize it’s much more than advertising. And it seems to be someone who does not have genuine interest in what they’re studying, but that’s not to say there’s people who aren’t passionate about marketing. </p>

<p>Double major in economics and german.</p>

1243

<p>ex pre med students who realized they wanted to party more than study.</p>

<p>art history</p>

1244

<p>Art History: Major mostly populated by the more pretentious oriented wealthier kids hoping to gain some “high-class” knowledge with which to snob others with while having a good time in college. As a result, most of them are considered overly pretentious snobs and mocked accordingly by nearly everyone else. Has high hopes of working and possibly even running an art gallery or two funded by parents or family friends. </p>

<p>American Studies</p>

<p>Has no clue what to do with their lives after college</p>

<p>General Studies major, LGBQT minor</p>

<p>confused/sexually frustrated people who spend more time experimenting with their sexuality than determining what they actually want to do with their lives. </p>

<p>Obsessed with science and soon will rake in the dough.</p>

<p>Political science and international relations</p>

<p>Lawyer in the making or a really uncreative politician.</p>

<p>Spanish</p>

1252

<p>Really? Lazy? I’d hardly call 400 page reading assignments every night lazy. Nor would I call memorizing all the parts of the human body lazy. Not smart enough? I’ll have you know I have higher grades, higher stats, than all of the pre-med studens from my graduating class. Try someone who cares enough to treat patients, not diseases.</p>

1253

<p>^ In reference to a comment that a nursing major was lazy.</p>
