undecided on major

College Majors
1

<p>I was one of those who after HS partied too much and ultimately dropped out of college. I'm in my 30's now and have mostly worked blue collar jobs.</p>

<p>just finished my AA at the local community college. My major was liberal arts. I was thinking of majoring in sociology for my bachelors but my last couple of sociology courses at CC turned me off the subject. What good is a sociology degree anyway? Pretty much the only way to have a career in a discipline like social science is if you have a graduate degree. </p>

<p>So i got to thinking..if i'm not going to have a major that can instantly transfer to the job market...something like business, marketing, accounting etc...then I might as well just go for a subject I really enjoy like English literature for my bachelors?</p>

<p>how hard is an english major anyway? :)</p>

<p>You can usually figure out the difficulty of an English degree by doing some quick formulas that calculate your Velocity of ********ting Essays.</p>

<p>Economics is a social science and also a part of the liberal arts, but much more lucrative than any other social science. It is the highest paying undergrad major after engineering.</p>

<p>See my thread for this:

<p>If you are going into the liberal arts, but want financial stability then it’s by far the best way to go.</p>
