So, I guess you just have to choose your *boring*! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-major-do-you-wish-you-couldve-had-in-college/page/2#post-1693191 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:57:12 +0000 babynumber1 1693191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bushelandapeck: @Rocker2014: I work in a continuing care retirement community in the nursing home. Its a great job, I just wish it paid a little more. I do love my job and my little old people! I would have a difficult time working with children, especially now that I have one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-major-do-you-wish-you-couldve-had-in-college/page/2#post-1693102 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:34:52 +0000 Rocker2014 1693102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also have Bachelors and Masters degrees in Social work (@bushelandapeck and @babynumber 1 !)and I'm pretty happy with that - I've stayed in those areas with my career. I do wish that I could have double majored in business, though, it would have opened up a lot of doors for me career wise. I dream about going to law school (and staying in human services after) but know that realistically that will probably never happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-major-do-you-wish-you-couldve-had-in-college/page/2#post-1693062 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:24:16 +0000 bushelandapeck 1693062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babynumber1: what area of SW are you in now? I work for one of the children's hospitals and feel like it's probably the best paying option, aside from private practice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-major-do-you-wish-you-couldve-had-in-college/page/2#post-1693035 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:14:29 +0000 Anagram 1693035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty happy with what I majored in--English lit and literature, minor in linquistics. After graduating, I did my teacher certification and then got my graduate degree in Library Science, which was the best move I ever made, in terms of job happiness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-major-do-you-wish-you-couldve-had-in-college/page/2#post-1693032 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:13:18 +0000 babynumber1 1693032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bushelandapeck: I have my BSW and MSW and wish that I had done nursing. There are so many admin nurses that do about the same thing that are more valued and make lots more money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-major-do-you-wish-you-couldve-had-in-college/page/2#post-1693025 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:09:18 +0000 Happygal 1693025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some kind of language that would have gotten me snatched up by the CIA! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-major-do-you-wish-you-couldve-had-in-college/page/2#post-1693021 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:06:55 +0000 blackbird 1693021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If i could go back and do anything, I think I would want to do anesthesiology. There's no program that allows it without a bachelors and experience in nursing, though. And I don't have any desire to be an actual nurse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-major-do-you-wish-you-couldve-had-in-college/page/2#post-1692859 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 10:04:20 +0000 brownie 1692859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I majored in Computer Information Systems (BS) and Computer Science (MS).

That said I would have possibly done Art History instead. I think what would have changed is what I did for GRAD school. I think I would have not gone to law school and studied something else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-major-do-you-wish-you-couldve-had-in-college/page/2#post-1692500 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 08:23:42 +0000 kjpugs 1692500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I had chosen a major that was less nebulous. I majored in communications with a minor in art. Going into the job market I went into meant I kind of had to take what I could get. I almost majored in teaching, which would have been much more focused as far as career but I also don't like the direction teaching has taken (aka, test moderating) so I wish I had considered something like nursing. It would be nice in this type of job market to have a very clear path from graduation to job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-major-do-you-wish-you-couldve-had-in-college/page/2#post-1692480 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 08:18:02 +0000 Alivoo01 1692480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Something in the Science field that would allow me to be pediatrician! My parents wouldn't allow me to be a doctor.

I ended up doing graphic design, which I am mostly self-taught in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-major-do-you-wish-you-couldve-had-in-college/page/2#post-1692428 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 08:01:33 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1692428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: @MsLipGloss: the father of the kids I nannied for when I lived in NY was/is a patent attorney! He really likes it. My husband was in grad school at the time (we were dating), and the dad offered my husband a position at his firm if he decided to go to law school instead- in addition to a nice cushy starting salary. He had his undergrad in mathematics and I suppose that is helpful as a patent attorney?? Unfortunately, the prospect did not excite my husband and he was afraid patent law would be too boring.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-major-do-you-wish-you-couldve-had-in-college#post-1692285 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 06:21:50 +0000 bushelandapeck 1692285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a bachelors and masters in Social work an have been really happy with my decision, for the most part. I have wished, at times, that I had gone for nursing or nutrition but not enough to ever want to go back ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-major-do-you-wish-you-couldve-had-in-college#post-1692279 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 06:18:47 +0000 NovBaby1112 1692279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really wish I would have went for Nursing or social work- both fields really interest me and I know I would have loved having a career that was hard and challenging, but helped people. I majored in Business Marketing and lets just say I have zero interest in it. Oh hindsight.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-major-do-you-wish-you-couldve-had-in-college#post-1692226 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 04:18:36 +0000 MrsKRB 1692226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went for Nutrition but I wish I majored in physical therapy, their jobs seen awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-major-do-you-wish-you-couldve-had-in-college#post-1692223 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 04:13:34 +0000 lamariniere 1692223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I minored in French but wish I had majored in several languages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-major-do-you-wish-you-couldve-had-in-college#post-1692216 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 04:03:08 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1692216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anthropology! I took a beginning course in cultural anthropology during my senior year and I loved it! If I took it earlier, I would have definitely majored in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-major-do-you-wish-you-couldve-had-in-college#post-1692213 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 03:49:54 +0000 BSB 1692213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not that it matters now, but I wish my campus had a Biology degree. I have a Life Science degree that is biology concentrated. If I transferred to another campus and they had the bio degree, I could have easily graduated with what I had. I just wish there was more of a selection of courses.</p> <p>Oh, I had a concentration of psychology classes but would have loved to have an actual minor in it. </p> <p>A dual major would have been nice, too, but my regular course work was as much as I could handle.</p> <p>Oh, if I lived on the west coast, I think I would have pursued a marine biology degree... If I could get over my sea-sickness. My motion sickness is pretty bad sometimes. Imagine going through all that schooling and find out I can't be on a boat without being drugged up. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-major-do-you-wish-you-couldve-had-in-college#post-1692146 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 23:03:28 +0000 MrsRcCar 1692146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I had stuck with music therapy.
