If you had to do it all over again would you choose the same major in college? (what is your major?)

I majored in Social.. and while I have now chnged and am in a science program.. I would do the Social program again. I found that I learnt a lot and I don't think that I would be doing as well in the scince program had I not taken it.

If I had to do it all over, I would start as a Computer Science major (instead of starting as Electrical Engineering then switching to Comp Sci).

I just finished my first semester, so I'm not quite disillusioned with Comp Sci yet...

I would have majored in finance and computer science(I chose CS and ECON), and would have gone in to Equity Research or Investment Banking. I do enjoy CS.

no, a fine arts degree gets you no where I did learn a lot, but the degree gets me no where in my job

Manufacturing Engineering (B.S. & M.S.) - it combines Mech Eng, Comp Sci, Elec Eng, and Management (quality/production control). This way, I get to learn about all the things I like and it allows me to interface well with engineers from lots of backgrounds. It's also handy for the robotics competitions I help run.

This doesn't apply fully for me - I'm a two year student at a community school - I'm liberal arts - it's the way to go because it transfers so nicely!

I did do it all over again, and I picked another college major, i.e. nursing. First time around I picked education.

I am a teacher, for 34 years, and it isn't fun anymore. For many years it was agreat job, but with the lack of work ethic and the parents who do not want to put in the time with their kids - forget it!

Seeing as how i'm currently a freshman in college, i dont think i'd want it all to do over again quite yet. (physics).

My major was Computer Science, (with a Minor in English Literature. The only person to go through my college with that combination.) So I actually have a Bachelor of ARTS in Computer SCIENCE. Many people think that's weird. Most CS majors I knew couldn't even spell and took their MINIMUM required Lit courses. I used to get mostly As in Lit, but generally only Bs in CS.

it was the best major for combining writing, theory, and practice at my college ... political science.

GIVEN THE MIND SET AT THE TIME WE WOULD STILL MAKE THE SAME CHOICES, HOWEVER RIGHT OR WRONG. YOU CAN'T GO HOME AGAIN.

Probably not at this point. I think I might go for psych or sociology now, or maybe something in the sciences. But Latin American Politics was very interesting.

yes, but i'd spend more time concentrating on it instead of messing around with computers.

Well, the few months I was in collage I had a theatre major with a human sexuality minor working to overtake it. They're still some of the most facinating subjects I can think of. Well, come to think of it I might broaden both a bit. Perhaps human interaction and media...

Well, maybe... but perhaps a music major. At least a minor. Hrm.

Yes - Computer Science. But I'd take a lot more classes in other things too. So many interesting things I didn't bother pursuing...

I'd switch the Planetary Science to a concentration (ie minor) and get a Design degree. Computer Sci is what I do, but I've never met a CS grad that had anything up on a motivated self-trained individual.

I'm currently majoring in Elementary Education/Learning and Behavior Disorders. I plan to become a special ed. teacher for elementary school students. I've always wanted to be a teacher. I hope I am not disappointed when I begin to student teach!

I was a psych major. I haven't done much with the degree, but I enjoyed the study, so I suppose I'd do it again.

If I had it all to do over again, I'd either have a liberal arts degree and be saying "You want fries with that?" for a living or I'd have taken drama and performing arts and be saying "You want fries with that?" for a living.

yes, and I would seriously try to not let my objections to the theories get in the way. basically accept it until I can get a degree and try to come up with a better alternative. (if I do this without a degree, then I am simply a crackpot.. with a degree I would be a crackpot with a degree) my major was physics.

I was a math major, and both the coursework I did and the degree have served me well (math at my school was considerably stronger than CS or engineering)

At the moment I would say yes (Biological Sciences), but perhaps I should answer once I'm a doctor (if I ever am) and decide then whether it was worth doing another degree before medicine.
