Hey people,

I was just interested to know what would be the dominate choice(s) of higher education here on KMC. Wondering if there would be some kind of obvious choice or wether or not it would be pretty general so cast your vote

PS: for obvious reasons I made the choices as wide as possible, since I tried to include everything.
PS2: if I left something obvious out, please let me know

I myself study politocology (as it is aparantly called in dutch, I assume it is about the same in Enlgish), the science of politics

I'm going to be majoring in film once I get my general degree.

yea that's one I left out, due to not having enough options, sorry for that just vote other I'll keep a record of it all and post a summary if this thing ever reaches a 100 posts

As you know, my dominating field is languages

My major's Marketing, with a minor in Business Law and economics.

maybe, I'm still not sure, I'll see where this poll gets me

k (if you didn't do so already please vote for economics)

i'm doing a double major in Physics.

HA! My option is first

med, of course.

law

done three years of law.
Now taking my Bar exams thats a three year course.

Then hopefully will be a Barrister

I lecture in Biology? does that count? My areas of interest are Human Performance/Sports Science with particular emphasis on the role and effects of methylated hormones, I also like enzymes and genetics.

My major is Psychology....I've yet to pick a minor.

My major used to be art, as anyone who knows me will know, art is a major part of my life, but I switched because I realized that if it became something that was an obligation instead of something I do for fun, I would get bored and lose interest with it, which I never want. So instead of becoming my career, it is just going to remain a hobby - albeit one I am paid for.

What is it about Genetics that interests you?

I have always enjoyed Genetics, ever since I first studied Gregor Mendel at school. I think its the fact that potentially Genetics provides so many possible futures. I am a Scientist but also a shameless Sci Fi fan. As a biologist Genetics offers the most ridiculous possible advancement in my mind and i'm sure (judging from the novels published) many others provided by Biology.

Gregor Mendel, Inheritance traits in Pea Plants correct?

I studied business administration however due to weightlifting and sports I took all my elevtives in pre-med(lol I cannot believe that is a REAL major) then finished up with a 300 series of anatomy and physiology LOL only because I am a workout nut.

Whirly has nothing on my Biology except a degree and what 10 years experience....pfft whatever lol

I studied catering then proceeded to get qualifications in accounts and economics.
I ended up working in hotels and found it really boring so im studying A+ and Film Making.

not going to uni, theres nothing i'm passionate about that can be converted into a uni course, the film courses that i saw were bollocks that only led to one kind of job and if everyone passes how theres not going to be more jobs available, only me and 30 other people from uni fighting for the few there are.

Business. Plan to get a MBA. Than possibly grad school.

Or any building society for that matter.


I don't think English should be with the other languages, because it's not the same concept.

That applies to any language which is your own, obviously.

Graduating in June '05 with a Bachelor's in Business Administration: Management.

90% chance I'll go for an M.B.A.

I want to apply to Harvard. Why not.

When I go to college I'm gonna study journalism and I'm probably going to take some language courses.

^ a kindred spirit!

watch out for the newshounds people detective

I'm an Industrial Engineer at a manufactring plant.

thx for all the posts guys, keep it up, don't forget to vote as well.

I read exhaustively mostly what ever imy interests are at the time, which have included psychology, Religious studies, Metaphysical, survival skills, herbalist, Alt. healing's.

Psychology (clinical, transpersonal). Interested in mysticism (especially as might be integrated with scientific method) and theoretical physics.

Art (ready)
Economy (not ready)

very cool one of my friends studied forensic science couple of years back.I think her specialist field was ballistics!!!!. So she spent a year and a half in America learning the field. And few of the months were with the F.B.I

Teachers are definitely The Most Underappreciated professionals in this country. I salute you for your devotion and thank you for your dedication.

You do understand that knowledge doesn't end at graduation don't you....It's an on going process.....Never ending.....

I also teach.

I done Electronics and Geography for A Level's

then went to uni to do Electronic Engineering but didn't like it so i dropped out not i am looking for a job

I am studying for a Bachelor degree in Petroleum Engineering, but I'm most likely going to take the two extra years and get a Master degree instead.

So hopefully in a few years I'll be in the north sea drilling for hydrocarbons :P even though most people start onshore though, offshore is my ultimate goal

Jedi- I hope you weren't teaching the same texts every year. That's gotta get old.

Oh no, we generally got new textbook every 2-3 years. Also when I changed grades there'd be a new text. I taught all 4 levels of high school.

I play a rich man at parties.

I selected "social science" as that is where I feel History would fit. Some of the topics I have become more and more interested in, however, in particular German Reformation Studies, lend themselves to Theology and Philosophy. Even these intellectual developments always have a range of effects on the population at large, of course.

It is my intent to make a career out of this topic, and I seem to be off to a good enough start. Here's to the better part of six years left in the University.

I will graduate on physics at the end of 2006, and I intend to specialize on quantum mechanics and work like a researcher in this area, but microelectronics is also interesting, I would love to do something in this area like developing new hardware, and such. I also know enough about mysticism, metaphysics, religion, and history. So who will hire me !?

well . . . thanks! i'm canadian though, so do i still qualify for your gratitude?

i've a BA and a BEd. majored in psych (neural psych my last 2 years but grad school was too much $ and i didn't really want to move away)

i've been a teaching assistant/research assistant at the university of windsor (computational neuropsych -- my prof was working on a computer simulation of alzheimer's -- it was a lot of fun!)

i've taught at the high school level (i have a minor teachable in science) and am currently teaching at a grade school - grade 4 -- because the little kids are a lot of fun!

i'm also a published author (my first story in a print mag (a small, literary fantasy mag) is due out in february) the mag is called MYTHIC CIRCLE and the story is a dark fanasty short based on the faust legend. i've had a few shorts published in various places on the web and had a novel agented but he didn't sell it. it's is still trying to find a home. life's been a bit complex lately though so i've done little writing. but (if i can get off this damn forum!) i hope to get back into the swing of things soon!

damn, prolly too much info . . .

oh well . . .

Well forensics of the criminology don't, but they have their own department which is part of chriminology and natural sciences.

Damn, my dream (Criminology). Not gonna happen though.

why not shape?

Wow, I'm the only one doing psychology....I could have sworn that other people have said they're studying that before.

After years of Community College and dropping out of school. I've come to the decision that I'm not good at anything. Except for the skills I'd learn in the cable business for the past 5 years. I'm in my late 20's and I don't see myself going back to school for anything. I got all my units for a AA degree, but we all know that means cracker jacks in today's world.

Psychology is a compulsary within Criminology in the first year, so ive done it then - its not my major. could have been, if i picked Criminology and Psychology, but i chose sociology instead no regrets though!

I'm also in my mid *cough...late...cough* twenties, and still studying away for an MSc. Admittedly it's an excuse to have a day out of work on full pay, but who cares?

You're never too old to learn anything WD.
