what would you have majored in differently?

<p>I should have majored in creative writing, but I was terrified that I'd end up waiting tables and typing away in a frozen hovel, unpublished and bitter. I went corporate instead. I will probably spend the rest of my life wondering what might have happened if I hadn't been so afraid of failing. (And most writers do fail to earn a living at their craft, even those who are published.) Of course, I repent at leisure, because I did make the money. And I type away now in comfortable surroundings, unworried about being published. But I still dream...</p>

<p>Major: Fashion Merchandising</p>

<p>I would probably have gone to a non-arts school, so that if I do want to change I won't be limited to such thriving career options as sculpture or dance...luckily I like my major.</p>

<p>I'm happy with my mechanical engineering major, but I would love to have the room to take more classes in the social sciences/humanitites.</p>

<p>Selected: Mechanical Engineering
Wished major: Nuclear Engineering</p>

<p>Reason: I didn't know the nuclear engineering major existed until I already started attending college. No school in my state offers a nuclear engineering degree and I'm way to far into my current degree to transfer out of state. Graduate school is a better option.</p>

<p>Selected: Biochem>Toxicology>Medicine (MD)
Wished: Some field of marine science (spent several years on/in water
and loved it). Also art, just because.</p>

<p>I think it's fine...no, GREAT if you are majoring in something you love.
You don't have to worry about what jobs you'll have out of college. Just be good at what you love.</p>

<p>Sometimes there are jobs offered to those who would have never thought it involved their field of study.</p>

<p>Previous: Psychology</p>

<p>Future: Cinema and Television Production (emphasis: Television Production/Editing)</p>

<p>I wish I had realized sooner what I really wanted to study instead of limiting myself.</p>

<p>I'm premed about to apply to med school but I've often thought I might have liked law or policy just as well.</p>

<p>Selected: Cell/Molecular Biology, Chemistry
Wished: Economics, Public Policy Studies, Political Science, Markets and Management Studies</p>

<p>Current major: Biological Science
Wish: Bioengineering or something related to Astronomy.</p>

<p>Current: Not saying...
Wish: Gap Year lol</p>
