I was all determined to get my degree before the age of 21, which I did but not sure what my hurry was for!abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05956734205798602159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-33779713271331688562010-08-03T22:21:00.427-05:002010-08-03T22:21:00.427-05:00Lisa - Yes, a math degree totally intimidates!

Your comment reminded me a little of my dad; his masters is in "physical engineering" which he laboriously explains is not the same as physics or engineering!Graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641028266038110278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-91488734073420629852010-08-03T20:21:36.404-05:002010-08-03T20:21:36.404-05:00I changed my major slightly, from polymer science ...I changed my major slightly, from polymer science to chemistry (then later went on to get a master's in chemical engineering- but most lay people don't think chemistry and chem E are very different) but I was really really torn between majoring in a science or majoring in English. I decided to major in chemistry because I figured that you always get tired of your job and I never wanted to tire of literature and writing. I still kind of wish I'd double majored, and if I could go back to school, I'd be torn between getting an advanced degree in English or one in Nutrition. <br />The good thing is that my love of writing has really paid off for me because I do a ton of technical writing for my job and it's a skill that most engineers don't have.Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03408929681739560085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-88533185806012383822010-08-03T19:13:39.763-05:002010-08-03T19:13:39.763-05:00I started off as a Clinical Lab Science major. I ...I started off as a Clinical Lab Science major. I didn't take a single math class, and I missed it so badly, I was tutoring girls on my floor in college algebra. So after that first semster, I switched my major to Math and never really looked back. It is definitely not the most 'practical' degree... but it is something that people respect when they see it on my resume.Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-45655271564815467522010-08-03T18:17:28.153-05:002010-08-03T18:17:28.153-05:00I didn't really change majors - I had planned ...I didn't really change majors - I had planned on going into journalism and for any journalism school in Canada I would need two years of general studies. So I did two years of general studies (LOVED IT - I wish a degree in that would be useful) and then did two years of journalism and ended up with a Bachelor of Journalism and a major in Public Relations. However, I'm working in PR and Marketing so didn't really end up in the field I majored in. I do still freelance write on the side, though.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185652640389232120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-39404219835503999202010-08-03T17:42:01.917-05:002010-08-03T17:42:01.917-05:00When you write about your brothers it makes me lau...When you write about your brothers it makes me laugh!! He may just become an MD. I had the same major thru college because I just had to get a degree. I wanted to be a flight attendant and travel. Then I landed in commercial insurance, funny how life works!!Charbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12023222309412936172noreply@blogger.com
