My dad always told me to major in something I enjoyed, and I could figure out a job further down the road. Majored in English (focused on literature), ended up in public relations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-college-major#post-2347817 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 22:25:08 +0000 Corduroy 2347817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Senior year of high school and then switched 2.5 years in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-college-major#post-2347809 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 22:07:11 +0000 tofuwad 2347809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm surprised at how many people chose in high school! I went to a junior college and basically didn't know what I wanted to do, so I took enough classes so that I could apply as three different majors at a four year university. I basically applied as one major and changed my major at orientation. </p> <p>But then I decided my senior year of uni to go to library school and get my Master's. But I think if I had known technical writing was a thing I may have done that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-college-major#post-2347699 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 19:30:06 +0000 jhd 2347699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Senior year of high school. I was open to changing it, but ended up studying now exactly what I said I would on those college/scholarship applications! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-college-major#post-2347634 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 16:17:35 +0000 simplyfelicity 2347634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Midway through Freshman year. I went to school interested in interior design (I still am not sure why) and ended up studying English with an emphasis in Creative Writing after the reccomendation of a professior. I have done very little with the creating writing concentration because I went into teaching. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-college-major#post-2347601 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 14:59:17 +0000 Miss Sarah 2347601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was probably in junior high when I knew I wanted to be a teacher. But I did start as a music education major and changed my mind and switched to an English education major at a different University sophomore year of college. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-college-major#post-2347577 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 13:55:40 +0000 LilSprinkles 2347577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was around 2 or 3 when I started telling everyone I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-college-major#post-2347476 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 07:02:30 +0000 brownepiano 2347476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Freshman year of highschool.

That was first year of high school! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-college-major#post-2347371 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 19:54:38 +0000 Mrs. D 2347371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>at the end of my freshman year. I wish I'd known more about my job prospects when I chose though. I graduated With a BA in English with a History Minor, then took an Elementary Education Program after to be certified to teach. I would have taken the offered TESOL courses for a second minor so I"d be infinitely more employable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-college-major#post-2186766 Fri, 22 May 2015 07:19:09 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 2186766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The moment I had to register for classes... I went in determined to be a Theater major. Reality hit when I realized how few jobs I could get with that so I switched to my other passion Criminal Justice. I wish I had taken some theater classes still since that is part of the reason I even went to that school but I loved the classes I took. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-college-major#post-2186760 Fri, 22 May 2015 07:05:54 +0000 looch 2186760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>End of freshman year, when I switched from the Arts and Sciences program (undecided) to the School of Mgmt (finance). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-college-major#post-2186754 Fri, 22 May 2015 07:00:54 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2186754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Early in my junior year of high school.

I'm happy with what I ended up with as it opened the door to grad school, which then led to my career, which then took me all around the world. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-college-major#post-2186726 Fri, 22 May 2015 05:57:56 +0000 nana87 2186726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I basically knew going in but didn't have to officially declare until the end of sophomore year. I think I really knew after the first semester though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-college-major#post-2186709 Fri, 22 May 2015 04:55:42 +0000 lamariniere 2186709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I chose my senior year of high school because I had to apply to get into a specific program. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-college-major#post-2186705 Fri, 22 May 2015 04:41:29 +0000 Andrea 2186705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I switched from premed to economics in the 2nd semester of freshman year. No regrets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-college-major#post-2186639 Thu, 21 May 2015 22:46:58 +0000 KT326 2186639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Officially I chose it before I transferred to a university as a junior. I spent 5 years at various community colleges trying to figure it all out. I think I changed my mind on a major 5 times? And now looking back I wish I had stuck with one of my earlier choices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-college-major#post-2186637 Thu, 21 May 2015 22:41:09 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2186637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Five years after high school graduation! I bided my time doing generals because I didn't know what I wanted to do, finished my associates in general education and took a break to figure it out. In that time I got married and had a child, and it must have given me clarity because I returned to school when J was 1.5 :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-college-major#post-2186635 Thu, 21 May 2015 22:36:34 +0000 mrscobee 2186635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Freshman year of college.

If I could do it all again, I'd keep my computer science major and combine it with Economics!</p> <p>When did you pick your college major? </p>
