What is your degree in?

[Manicotti]

I got my bachelor's degree in English, and that was fucking useless -

I am currently working om my Bachelor's degree in English

And you have my sympathies unless you're also working on your teaching certification/Education minor at the same time. I was a terribly unambitious student at the time I got my English degree, and failed to get even a minor with it. Naturally, McDonald's was the best employment I could hope for.

As the other guy here said, don't limit yourself to teaching, though. Pick up as many useful software skills as you can, and learn to write in as many different venues as possible. A bud of mine is a columnist for a number of websites on entirely different things. And do *not* skip an internship or you're fucked - English-oriented jobhunting wannabes are a dime a dozen, and get paid even less unless you're phenomenal.

On topic - I went back to school for Manufacturing Technology and Industrial Power Systems Management (Major with a required minor). This is my first semester back in college, so I'll be here a while.

I am working on teaching certification in fact. I know several teachers who've helped me get on the right track for it. I've been warned by so many people that my degree will be useless but I think that doesn't have to be the case. And I am also minoring in History which I also plan on getting certified to teach.

Good. More power to you since you're actually preparing for teaching something specific, because yes, English on its own is functionally useless. You learn some of the communication and reasoning skills you need for anything else, but that's it. At least you have a stronger idea of what to do with it than I did.

I have:
HND Internet Design
BA (Hons) Creative Computer Game Design
MA Creative and Media Writing

I really want a career write stories for video games.

 

[darkstarangel]

Im starting Uni this year for my bachelor in molecular biology.

 

[crazythunder83]

Working on my Electrical Engineering with a minor in Electromagnetism. Focusing on power generation. Gonna work on beating the damned fossil fuel curse thats plauged mankind for over a century now.

After the Calculus III and Differential Equations course everything has been pretty much a sinch. Had electronics experience w/ my 5 years Active Duty Navy though, so that helps. Most students, IMHO, don't really have a clue what they're doing or where they're going at the College/in life. Kinda sad really...
Anway, that's me!

 

[GundamSentinel]

BSc Industrial Design Engineering, minor in Software Design. Almost finished with that. I'm a bit slow because I've done 2 years Aerospace Engineering before this. I guess I'll start my MSc Integrated Product Design next year.

 

[Ossian]

I'm thinking of a degree in english, but my being 21 and only just starting college, I really doubt I'll make it anywhere.

Plus I without a mentor in the field I find myself knowing jack all about anything.

 

[Micklet]

BA in Geography and Ancient Classics, MSc in Geocomputation. I'm an assistant manager in a bar Thursday to Sunday. Gotta love living in Ireland at the mo.

 

[thiosk]

Chemistry, and the degree will soon be phD

soon soon soon soon soon

 

[Sentox6]

BA (Econ/Pol). MA (Econ) ... well, providing my thesis passes.

Masters (MPhys) in Theoretical Physics. Currently working on PhD in theoretical photonics.

Damn. Is it frustrating to converse with average humans at this point?

 

[Lancer873]

Planning on going into Biochemistry, and maybe a minor in music.

 

[Zantos]

I hope to have an integrated masters degree in Theoretical Physics soon, however since the last few years have made my course seem like it's been going since the 12th century then i doubt ill get it til the earth's either under covenant rule or they can get an asari that'll be better than me at it anyway.

 

[Grabbin Keelz]

I'm majoring in Graphics design right now, but so far I can only use Photoshop well.

 

[meece]

Applying to Biotechnology degrees. Like Biochemistry but more immediatly useful. Think the biological version of chemical engineering and you wouldn't be too far off.

 

[bartman675]

I'm working on my degree in Culinary Arts

 

[twaddle]

I Majored in Child Psychology....

WITH A MINOR IN PAIN!!!!

Just joshing. I'm actually majoring in computer science right now.

 

[Slacko]

MB ChB - degree in Medicine. Now I'm a Anaesthetics and Intensive Care Medicine trainee. Long hours, but you get to have Dr on all your credit/debit cards

 

[Casimir_Effect]

BA (Econ/Pol). MA (Econ) ... well, providing my thesis passes.

Masters (MPhys) in Theoretical Physics. Currently working on PhD in theoretical photonics.

Damn. Is it frustrating to converse with average humans at this point?

It would actually more frustrating to converse only with other physicists. They can be so dull at times.
I do occasionally get pissed at how little most people know about physics both past and present. But those guys are better than armchair physicists, who deserve their own special circle of hell. The dick circle.

And hey, you'll probably be far more employable at the end of your degrees than I will be at the end of mine.

 

[similar.squirrel]

Dropped out of a Biotechnology course last year, and I'm hoping to get a fresh start in Ecology or Earth Science in a few months, final results permitting.
My plan is to stay a student for as long as humanly possible, and end up with a PhD in something silly like astrobiology or behavioural ecology.

 

[googleboy]

I have a BS in Aerospace Engineering with a minor in Mechanical Engineering. I have my MBA and am working on another masters in Economics.

 

[SketchyFK]

I got a HND in Robotics and Cybertronics. I was unable to complete my course due to severe medical conditions. Truthfully, I am more than thankful I never completed my course. There was too much maths. My life has lots of art and english which would've been pushed to the side if i continued to study there.

Otherwise a Masters in Slacking Off.
