What should I major in?

Pre-Med & Medical School High School Student Topics

<p>So for a while I was really interested in Architecture but everyone tells me it's a bad major b/c it's not doing so spectacular in the job market (one teacher went as far to tell me it's a waste of my 'talents') and that I should look into something else. While looking around different majors (mostly engineering) I found one called biomedical engineering. It seems interesting but I don't think I've researched enough to come to a decision. </p>

<p>So the the question is: What other majors are there and, if you live on the east coast, are there any colleges offering accelerated programs in NY, PA, and NJ?</p>

<p>The major that will get you a job in a field you like if med school doesn’t work out.</p>

<p>For me, that’s economics. Kids can have fun with their worthless biology majors.</p>

<p>I have always been a proponent of having a different major. I was an econ major which worked out well. Overall, I havn’t seen success or failure with my students based on majors with my students.
