College Majors?

To make: absolutely nothing. You actually don't need any formal training if you already know how to program in C++, C#, or C. What gets iffy is trying to put everything together: graphics, music, servers, etc.; then the prices start sky-rocketing. Then again, making an MMORPG through a 1-man team places a lot of burden on their shoulders.

Of course, if you want to be hired by a company, then that's where you'll need the formal training and education status.

Meteorology, Minoring in Mathmatics. Fun stuff, thinking about getting a Comp Sci minor as well. Doesn't seem worth it, because the program is junk at my school, but for modeling it might be. Then again, I'm learning Ruby by myself...

Oh yeah, I also need to get this sexy computer if I go to Virginia Tech. It's the Engineering Department's requirement:

Sounds like somebody wants to be in on it when they make Diablo 18: the new adventures. Heart

I'm majoring in English currently, though after I get to RIC (Rhode Island College), I'll need to walk out with two master's degrees: one in English and one in education.

I have a degree in Graphic Design which completely went to waste. A degree in Licensed Practical Nursing, which went to waste too and right now I'm going for Medical Assistant and then right after it I've been accepted into the Nursing school of my dreams Heart

I'm going to be as polite as possible as I can about this. RN is for registered nurse. A nurse is not a doctor. There is not that much math in being a nurse or a doctor. The only time I've seen math vigorously employed is when the anesthesiologist was attempting to re-establish a patient's equilibrium with different chemicals because the patient was in critical condition. Medical school applicants can choose between allopathic schools (MD) or osteopathic schools (DO). Even though people bash osteopathic schools for their lower standards, they teach their students just as well as allopathic schools. This has been a general consensus on medical forums such as Student Doctor Network Forum (sdn).

If you are really curious about becoming a doctor, I would highly suggest talking to nannerz or hanging around Student Doctor Network forum. If I have been contemptuous I apologize. I have recently become an orderly at a hospital (completed CNA) and am also interested in studying for EMT-B.

Going back to the original conversation I've changed my major three times. I went through several personality swings and now I feel like I'm studying something I actually enjoy. I was absolutely miserable my second year in college and I lashed out at other people (I was kind of catty). Since then I've changed to something I'll enjoy. All my courses have the same basic requirements so I will still be able to graduate by my senior year.
----
Biochemistry (hated engineering calc requirements) -->

Biological Sciences (got offered a scholarship by the Molecular department to change my major so I took it) -->

Molecular Plant Biology (pre-med attitude. Plants were the easiest option and I could get a higher GPA and professors accepted a lot of research assistants) -->

Molecular Bioinformatics & Computer Science Minor (I'm doing something I enjoy and I don't care what happens to my GPA or what medical schools think. I wanted to find something I wouldn't regret doing for the rest of my life. And I think this is it.)
----
To be honest, this should not be a question you ask in public or in college when you meet new people unless it's a last resort. I don't think this will stop anyone here though. When you hit your junior year, hookarez about your major, the prestige of your school, or your future? The answer is not enough people.

i already knew that.. :f6: I was just saying the math itself is kinda complex Stunned

And congrats with your periods, I mean you MOOD Swings. XDWink Hope you find something within reach... soon

You really need to work on your syntax. At least be concerned enough so you can write a good personal statement. "Med School I heard is kinda easy... but my dad is trying to get his RN or something like that." This is extremely misleading. You make it sound like Medical School is somehow related to your dad getting an RN. Proper use of syntax is as follows: "She went to … school" or "I never drink … wine." In the first example the female really did go to a school and the person in the latter example is Dracula. The ellipses is to focus on the fact that he drinks blood but doesn't want to mention it.

Again there is barely any math involved in medicine. So thankfully there is nothing for you to be confused about. The only math you need to know is probably basic algebra and you can forget classes like Calculus because you will never ever need to use Taylor Series or Newton's Method to determine the health of the patient.

I also have no idea what the hell you're talking about when you use the word "reach." I already have a full-time job waiting for me as an orderly which isn't great, but will allow me to apply a second-time to medical school if if doesn't pan out on my first try. If I don't get in on my second try then I will most probably attend law school and live a normal life like everyone else.

And getting into Medical School isn't really hard if you cheat and memorize old practice exams like all the other "pre-med" bastards. You also get a handicap if you're a minority. Especially if you're black or some South American descendant.

Oh wow I never knew this was Language Arts Class. Why would I bother writing like a professor... It's Southperry.

I used my dad as an example because you need to know math at a college level. I'm not saying "Oh, in order to become a doctor you need to know math like a chemist or else you won't get your degree." No. Just that fact that my dad is trying to get a better pay and if the only guy I know right now thats in the medical field.

Plus I'm not even sure if I'm going to become a surgeon because I'm still young and could change my mind any second. Tongue

I am in my second year out of 4 earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Maybe I'll get a masters later, we'll see. I am specializing in Metalworking/Sculpture and hopefully minoring in blacksmithing. I will probably make little to no money as an artist, so I am also earning a degree for welding as well.

I am about to start my 3rd year and am on my third major, but I am 99% sure this is the program for me. Tongue1 I started out freshman year as chemistry wanting to go in optometry then switched to biology still wanting to do optometry, but last winter I changed directions completely and am now working on a degree in the school of natural resources. The program I am in is called forestry fisheries and wildlife. I am focusing on the fisheries aspect, maybe look into the wildlife part a bit, but I want to end up working for the state or national park service doing work with fish and aquatic habitats.

Oh, forgot to answer the question. I'm trying to get majors in Astronomy/[Astro]Physics and minoring in either Music (performance) or Culinary Arts.

Even though I am not yet in college I'll post what I would like to study.

These are my main choices as of now still need to research some of them-

Double Major in Music(Education) and Education and Minor in Music Theory(Need both degrees to be a teacher from what I have seen)

Major in Sociology(I love the concept of it. I unknowingly profile people I met and try to explain their actions)

Major in Music(A dream of mine, but I am slowly realizing there is little chance of success in the industry)

Major in Poli Sci and Law
