<p>I'll major finance and management at NYU's Stern School of Business. I'll get my BS in Finance, and then join UBS or Credit Suisse First Boston or Citigroup as an investment banking analyst (M&A). I'll work three years while making pretty large sums of money ($100k-$180k) and then go back to Columbia Business School for an accelerated MBA (finance concentration). Then I'll go back to whoever hired me as an analyst as an investment banking asociate (M&A), work three years, then get promoted to Vice President. Then I'll work another two years and then quit and join a venture capital firm as a venture capitalist (with the title of vice president or principal).</p>
<p>Eventually, I'd make Junior Partner at the VC firm.</p>
<p>Personally, I think you should have said, I don't want to raise kids that ask dumb questions like

311Griff, what on earth is a forensic accountant? Do you do dead people's taxes or something?

</p>
<p>LOL, yeah it's cool!!! </p>
<p>Here's a little information about it:</p>
<p>"Forensic Accounting
This is one of the hot growth areas for CPAs in public accounting. The forensic accountant looks beyond the face value of accounting records to determine if fraud has been committed. Also known as an investigative accountant or fraud auditor, the forensic accountant searches for evidence of criminal conduct or assists in the determination of, or rebuttal of, claimed damages. Investigative accountants are also being called in to advise companies on whether to declare bankruptcy or take the necessary steps to remain solvent. In addition to investigative accounting, the forensic accountant may also be called upon in the legal field, assisting lawyers in the litigation process."</p>
<p>Yeah, a little out there - but I was going to be double majoring in Psych and Music, and it just made sense. I'll probably work part time as a music therapist out of my house or in a clinic and raise a family as well. :)</p>
<p>I'm a physics major and a history minor, the former because I think it's awesome and the latter because I like stories and took enough history that the minor crept up on me. I'm going to grad school for "astrophysics", a fancy way of saying I don't know if I want to do more physics or astronomy, and I'd like to become a professor someday. I also want to have the job Carl Sagan had someday writing pop science literature and the like. :)</p>
<p>Well I was asked what I want, and I answered it. Why do you think that I'm not being realistic? People jump from banking to venture capital all the time.</p>
<p>My major is history and my unofficial minors are womens studies and philosophy. I want to become an academic and if that falls through i have no idea. Although, i am actually really interested in working in the international department or exchange department of universities so who knows i may try to go down that track if all does not go as planned. </p>
<p>5 years ago it was my big plan to do colour psychology and link it into advertising but then I realised I did not want to spend 12 hours a day at work trying to climb up the ladder while not having time for my planned children. I also could not find any university that studied colour psychology... maybe i should have stuck at psyc and built up the field myself! I still think that could be a really interesting area though.</p>
<p>I'm going to double major in History and Anthropology, and become a historian/anthropologist/archaeologist...I'm not exactly sure what I want to do with them yet, but I like all the options so far. :)</p>
<p>Political science with English or creative writing. Whenever I tell somebody that I'm interested in those fields, the first thing they ask is, "Uhhh so, like, what are you going to do?"</p>
<p>"People jump from banking to venture capital all the time." -- haha, that's hilarious (not making fun of you futurenyu).</p>
<p>I'm majoring in molecular biology, applying to UW-Madison, UCSD, Michigan, Northwestern. Probably gonna end up working in research or for some medical company.</p>
<p>Majoring in Industrial Technology, on schedule to graduate in two years from a Big Ten school. Typical graduates are usually introduced into technical or managerial esque careers; think "manufacturing engineer" or some sort of low level management. I myself am very interested in the computer technology minor I've decided to partake in, and see myself using my computer tech skills more than my industrial experience (I build websites to pay for tuition, and fix windows-based computers on the side). A few years after graduation, if all the planets are visibly aligned and karma is on my side, I will attempt to enroll in an MBA program so I can turn into the ******* manager most despise. ;)</p>
