Just curious...for those of you that are going to school to pursue a degree...what are you majoring/minoring in and for those of you that have graduated....what did you get?


I have a Bachelors in Music (Sound Engineering specifically, with a minor in Computer Science). smile.gif

I got an AS in Electronics and Computer Technology @ Devry University. Federal Way, Washington State.

What did I get, a big ass loan payment. Oh and a good job!

^yeah school is not worth it unless you skim through it quickly in the form of business, nursing, or some government job and can pay it off quick. shoot for that bachelor or masters though.

i'll be in the graphic design program from the university of maryland in the spring. 1 year of that and i'll be a bachelor. after i get my portfolio together, i'm looking at a few automotive design schools. preferably royal college of art in london, or scuoladesign in milan. i will always be in school sad.gif

I think I may go back to school as well. I'm thinkg about some metal fabing classes. Just something I've always wanted to tinker with. I like making stuff.

I thought alot about going back and getting my Masters in Music, but the only thing I could probably really use it for, is to teach. *lol*

^ i know!! that is such a problem. having gone through school, i always disliked teachers. never ever ever want to teach. and it looks like that's the only thing you can do with a music or fine arts degree sad.gif

you don't say!!!!!! Bachelors? from where? that's one thing i'm scared of, is investing all this money and get nothing in return.
