Do you ever wish that you majored in something different in college?

[Yavin4]

I do all of the time. I wish that I had majored in computer science and art history. I really regret not majoring in either.

[Eko]

1. I went to a music school.

I would not change anything. At least on what I went to school for lol.

[True Dough]

2. That floppy disk of an avatar you have

tells me that you are essentially a computer science major already.

[Yavin4]

15. Yes. That's another one.

I love photography.

[MutantAndProud]

4. I don't have a degree in CS yet but

Much of my logic derives from the knowledge and logic underlying those systems, on top of my familiarity with information technology. Even if you don’t ‘code’ (program) you can appreciate systems of assembly and process.

5. Oh yes!

My father pushed me toward the sciences. He wanted to be a doctor, but couldn't afford med school during the depression. I tried science, but hated it. I would absolutely go back in time and study English or journalism.

Ultimately got a degree in sociology, mostly out of expediency.

6. I went into HR

wish I had gone into criminal justice.

7. PoliSci with a minor in Soc.

Wish I'd studied animal husbandry!

[Ziggysmom]

8. Got a nursing degree, then after several years work, herniated discs in my back. Went back

to college for computer science because I couldnt handle heavy lifting or being on my feet 10 hour days. I'm happy as a Systems Analyst and also have done programming. But I still miss the medical profession.

9. What did you major in, Yavin4?

[Yavin4]

16. Film and Media Communication

Huge regrets.

[UTUSN]

10. Uh *yes* - I was totally clueless "English/history" when computers were starting

Laid around reading novels and watching Gilligan's Island. The old Chinese men sat on the steps of our rent house, in their undershirts, smoking like chimneys, and rifling through boxes of punch cards.. I had NO/ZERO concept of what was happening.

Coulda gone from English & History into Law, or better yet "computer" or "programming" instead of ending up with a MA as a typist. Who knew?

[grumpyduck]

11. My choices in junior college

were either architecture or theatrical design, two fields that are remarkably similar. I chose theatrical design and ended up in architecture for the first fifteen years of my career. Looking back, I sometimes wish I'd gone for architecture, but know that my life would have been different if I'd gone that way.

More to the story, but I wanted to answer your question.

[GenThePerservering]

12. I only wish I finished grad school

I majored in English and never regretted it. During the dot-com bust when all the IT people who laughed at me were unemployed I was still working at a good job as an editor in tech documentation. But I dropped out of grad school and wished I'd finished. Also wish I'd completed my minor in theology.

[Karadeniz]

13. History!!!!!

[MichMan]

14. Never regretted my choice of Mechanical Engineering

But when I had dogs that needed extensive medical care, I wondered what would have been if I had completed the Veterinary program I started in.

[ProfessorGAC]

18. LOL!

Yeah, those vet bills will make you reconsider one's choices!
We had a big one last year. Know exactly what you're talking about.

[ProfessorGAC]

17. Not Really

I wanted to work in the sciences since I was 10.
I guess if there was more vibrant job market, astrophysics would have been a serious consideration.
But even back then, getting a good job as a chemist was pretty easy. So, I went chemistry all the way.
No regrets. I only brought up the astrophysics to better address your question.
