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

@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..

I took Theatre and I'm happy with that choice. I had so much fun in college! I ended up doing graphic design, which I am mostly self-taught in.
-
I wish I would have stuck with Nursing, I was about a year in before switching to Marketing. I would love to be a nurse right now.
-
I am happy with what I choose and where I am now, but had I gone for an engineering degree, my life would be in a totally different place!
-
Something in the Science field that would allow me to be pediatrician! My parents wouldn't allow me to be a doctor. Who woulda thunk Asian parents saying no to their kid being a doctor!
-
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.
-
I went to a liberal arts college, so many job-specific majors weren't available. 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.
-
Maybe stuck with my bio major and not changed to history at the last minute (2nd sem of Jr year - who does this)? didn't matter anyway.
-
I wish I majored in business... my school did not offer it so I majored in History with a minor in studio art.
-
I'm very happy with my Computer Science degree!!!
But I originally wanted to major in English - I wanted to be an author!
-
I majored in Computer Information Systems (BS) and Computer Science (MS). I wish I had done kinesiology and just taught gymnastics
-
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.
-
Some kind of language that would have gotten me snatched up by the CIA!
-
@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.
-
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.
-
@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.
-
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.
-
@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.
-
@Mrs. Pen: I am fascinated by patent law . . . however, I have the unique perspective of knowing that it's (law) ALL boring! So, I guess you just have to choose your *boring*!
