I'm now taking a step backwards and going for nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-other-majors-did-you-think-about-doing#post-926789 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 11:47:23 +0000 Lindsay05 926789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Education. I wanted to be a gym teacher. I applied to get in and never got accepted. Otherwise i'm sure i wouldn've have gone that route. Instead I majored in Kinesiology, which everyone thinks i'm a gym teacher anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-other-majors-did-you-think-about-doing#post-926765 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 11:41:06 +0000 bisous 926765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a political science/journalism major. I thought about psychology, communications....also art history with a focus in architecture. I took a class like that when I was abroad and loved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-other-majors-did-you-think-about-doing#post-926559 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 10:55:59 +0000 Alivoo01 926559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to be a pediatrician, but my parents didn't support it (Asian parents not wanting their child to be a Dr., imagine that!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-other-majors-did-you-think-about-doing#post-926527 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 10:45:04 +0000 pui 926527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took theatre and I don't regret it one bit! I ended up being a graphic designer though, so maybe I should have taken something to do with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-other-majors-did-you-think-about-doing#post-926473 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 10:27:34 +0000 MsInformation 926473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stuck with journalism as my primary major but waffled a lot on my second major: it was going to be English, then Spanish, then Linguistics. I finally settled on International Studies with a concentration in Latin America, which ended up being very helpful for my career. But sometimes I wish I had stuck with Linguistics because it was so interesting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-other-majors-did-you-think-about-doing#post-926232 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 09:18:39 +0000 IRunForFun 926232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fussygal: I did the opposite! Started out as a psychology major, then switched to English and ended up in journalism.

If I was math-smart enough, which I definitely am not. I took geology 1 and 2 as electives, and I loved the class but I don't think I got above a C. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-other-majors-did-you-think-about-doing#post-925528 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 04:46:23 +0000 808love 925528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre-med (until I kept getting lost in the hospital as a volunteer), American Studies (one great class was not enough motivation), Journalism (loved writing), Liberal Studies (too chicken to pursue it the business dream all the way), Counseling (too much work), Library and Information Studies (Masters dropout). I'm happy to say I absolutely love my final career choice now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-other-majors-did-you-think-about-doing#post-925497 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 03:18:06 +0000 lamariniere 925497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I minored in languages, but I wish I had majored and studied additional ones. Or photography, which I also minored in. Or, and I always say this, in another life (when I understand math), I will be a furniture designer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-other-majors-did-you-think-about-doing#post-925427 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 00:31:01 +0000 sarac 925427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought about physics, but realized I just did not have the brain for all that math. I went for russian, instead, for my second major. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-other-majors-did-you-think-about-doing#post-925381 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 00:02:34 +0000 Corduroy 925381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Started in engineering but decided to change majors after shadowing a few engineers.

I also toyed with the idea of real estate too but thankfully didn't pursue that since the market crashed about a year later. </p> <p>Not exactly college level stuff but I'd have loved to have a career in fashion as a buyer.

Sometimes I think I should've stayed with journalism. </p>
