Whats everyones majors or minors... ?
Or PLan to be Majors or minors... ?

Growing up I wanted to be a marine biologist but... I'm now doing something close to it... COMPUTER SCIENCE.
I'm not sure I like it.

I think I am more suited for MARKETING... ?
Whats a good Marketing Major... anyone know?
Would just a B.S. IN business be good for marketing?

I dont know. I'm thinking ty pham needs a career change. I need to interact with people. Not 3 cubicle walls and marvin the martian doll.

I wanted to go to school to be a paralegal or a court reporter because I loved anything to do with law. But more than that I wanted to be a writer but that's just really hard to make money from so I went to college and took computer classes and writing classes and accounting classes and in the meantime I worked in accounting, and after a year of college I had enough, so I just worked and pioneered, and then I went to computer school, got my MCSE, and worked full-time in that for 2 years, then pioneered for a year while working 4-days a week.. and then lost my job and did temp work for about a year, which kinda sucked but was kinda fun at the same time.. and now i'm doing accounting, payroll and HR at a Law office, I've been here almost a year and I love it. So.. it's weird because I wound up doing something that has to do with law, sort of, while doing accounting which is what I did years ago. Hah.

The worst question I was asked at interviews for jobs is "where do you see yourself in 5 years" because I HAVE NO IDEA... i could be a coal miner, a photographer, a horse trainer, an executive accountant or a janitor, who knows. However, I would like to get back to pioneering PRONTO, which ever job I get to have is just "the background" to my real goal of pioneering.

ok4now #8.1 ok4nowOG 2002

what exactly is 'minoring' in something?

forrestina #7 forrestinaOG 2002

ilikebirds #7.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

I would love to. It'd be amazzing

tinser #7.1.1 tinserOG 2002

esprit15d #7.1.2 esprit15dOG 2003

and what would you sell?

tinser #7.1.2.1 tinserOG 2002

vending machines....i supply the vending machines and take part of the profit of what is sold

ilikebirds #7.1.2.2 ilikebirdsOG 2002

depends.. if i move to aruba.. i'd sell coconuts... if i was in brazil... i'd sell platanos... if i was in new jersey ... i'd sell my body... but really. i'd like to open up a lounge/bar/stage performance place.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

Yeah, that's another thing I'd love to do, my husband and our friend really wanna do this, but we prolly never will... cos who will make the first move i have no idea. Plus you need the startup capital. And we only have a capital O as in zero.

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

yea.. well.. plan out a business proposal and bang it out.. get a loan.. all that. i think i will eventually. my parents own a shop now.. so i know the ins and outs really.. now i just need the ambition.

omegatweeter #6 omegatweeterOG 2003

probably an architect or carpenter. i love designing stuff. when i'm a pro, you guys can call me up to design your house or somethin

malibu #6.1 malibuOG 2001

i used to want to be an architect for a long time and then a guy came to our school about it for career day and everything he explained and talked about, i absolutely hated the thought of doing it. so now i have no direction in life. i think its better this way.

thatdarngirl #6.1.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

Mike Russick is going to be an architect.

omegatweeter #6.1.2 omegatweeterOG 2003

you know, i just read up on a summary of a life of an architect. can't be an architect in a snap. need lots of years to be a licensed architect, and that kinda got my hopes down. now i dunno wat to pick either.

ok4now #5 ok4nowOG 2002

thatdarngirl #4 thatdarngirlOG 2002

I wanted to be a Literature teacher for High School kids, or History..but I suck at History even if I love it so that's not gonna happen. BUT psychology keeps begging me to look into it, and in my class today the idea of being a human resource person at some huge company presented itself to me. I like the idea of working in a cubicle because I don't like being too near people for long periods of time.

tinser #4.1 tinserOG 2002

but if you work as a human resource person...you have to be mean....ohhhh, maybe thats just where i work.

tinser #4.2 tinserOG 2002

and psych...psych is crazy....i came to a new realization about psych today...that question about what makes us the way we are? Its stupid. We shouldn't care...we are that way, and since most people don't even actually know who they are...they should figure that out first. I hate the question why...it leads to far too much confusion and ......

thatdarngirl #4.2.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

Well..my psych teacher is just super awesome, I love her. And she doesn't really have us psycho-analysing ourselves..but I do understand the dumbness of that. Like..we are the way we are, just deal with it.

tinser #4.2.1.1 tinserOG 2002
