<p>Double PhD in Computer Science and Mathematics. Or Doctor of Science in either.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Oh my… so ****in pointless</p>
<p>I have my desires, and I love both.</p>
<p>It would be very hard to get one PhD, let alone one.</p>
<p>Plus I personally think it would be better to just focus on one rather than being a “jack of all trades” so to speak.</p>
<p>BA in International Studies</p>
<p>Aaaand that’s it</p>
<p>MBA all the way</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Even if you want to research both, you don’t need 2 PhD’s (not that you have a great chance of getting into two different programs anyway). And unless the math you’re interested in is closely related to CS, you’re not going to be able to have an academic career studying both simultaneously.</p>
<p>Fine, just a PhD in CS, with a Double Major in Math and CS</p>
<p>Ph.D. in math [ undecided if pure/applied ].</p>
<p>However, if opportunity presents itself, I might go straight to the workforce after a bachelor’s or a master’s degree.</p>
<p>Ph.D in math</p>
<p>I don’t think people realize the dedication and commitment that any PhD program entails, let alone one in something such as math. The opportunity cost is huge and you need to be very talented to succeed. Just being enamored with a subject as a high schooler isn’t going to cut it. </p>
<p>You also don’t know how your interests will change as an undergrad. Ask how many people changed their major at least once over the course of their college careers… it’s probably a good amount.</p>
<p>MD //10char</p>
<p>PhD in Physics</p>
<p>If I haven’t started dedicating myself for a PhD in math since about 7th grade, then I don’t know dedication.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The two main problems with that stat is that it doesn’t separate out people that are essentially undecided going in but declare a major anyway and it doesn’t account for the size of the change. If I were to switch from Math to Applied Math, would that count? How about switching amongst different types of Chemistry majors?</p>
<p>I want a MS in Potions and maybe minor in Muggle Studies.</p>

<p>I’m perfectly aware thank you very much.</p>
<p>TCBH: I wasn’t trying to be statistically exact, rather just saying that many, yes I know that’s a broad term, end up going in a different direction than the one they had set upon in the beginning. </p>
<p>You do bring up a good point about switching within majors… i.e. applied vs pure math, as many probably do this.</p>
<p>And to MIT: If you enjoy math and/or comp sci that much, then by all means go for it. All I’m saying is you shouldn’t get tunnel vision that (relatively) early on in your academic career. Things don’t always pan out.</p>
<p>PhD in either Linguistic or Sociocultural Anthropology.</p>
<p>My dad got a full ride to UBC for his Ph.D in Engineering, it was some of the hardest **** he’s ever done, and it took years and years. With that said, I think (or at least hope) most of the people on CC have at least an idea about the hardships you have to go through for a Ph.D and many other difficult degrees.</p>
