Would you recommend your college major?

[CountDeMoney]

I saw a sign at one of the local for-profit universities that said "Bachelors of Homeland Security."  It took me a minute to realize that was a major, and not an advertisement for a saucy revue for the ladies.

Yup, it's all the rage now.  I LOL.

The local cops all laugh at the Fortis College cop wannabes.

If they want to teach, yes. Otherwise, no.

So, unequivocally maybe.

[MadImmortalMan]

If they were intent on going to college I would recommend my major as a decent choice. It's STEM-tastic.

What was your major, MiM?

Seedy's favorite. Information Technology.

I love the bulletins from the always vigilant, totally bored and therefore completely overzealous campus police:

CRIME ALERT: Off CAMPUS –POSSIBLE ARMED SUBJECT 
SUBJECT DESCRIPTION:  Black Male, Tall, Thin wearing all dark clothing. Possibly armed with a handgun. He was last seen running near XXXXX.

What about Homeland Security as a major?
Is it worth it?

Your not watching those commercials from a for profit college, are you? DON'T BE SUCKERED BY THEM.

AMU. American Military University.
It is covered by the Army's Tuition Assistance program.

Should I bother with Homeland Security or should I go with General History as was my intention.

While that is way outside my cone of knowledge, this old thread:

Might help.

Whoa, thank you. Very helpful.

No problemo. I know I've gave you shit over the years Siege but it was like an older brother rubbing your face in dog poo. I want the best for you kid.

[Caliga]

Ha, my brother's major was anthro and mine was history.

I work in IT now and he works in telecom compliance.

We're like the Borg.  We suck you in, even when you don't come from the major.

[PDH]

Well, I have two history degrees and I still manage to teach one class a semester in history.  Still, I don't do history for a living as I never got my PhD.

[Josquius]

No.
Computing is useless.
I should have studied history or the like. Easy but interesting. I would likely have better grades as that is all that actually matters.

Major: English Literature and Composition.

I would have read and written regardless. And I might have had to deal with twats wearing elbow patches on their tweed jackets, but they wouldn't have been the Chair of my department.

So: without question, I regret my major.

If I had a Wayback Machine, I might have majored in Geography instead and tried for a career in surveying or GIS cartography.

Of course I would. There are great jobs in market finance, corporate finance, research finance and any field related to business administration.  It's a definite yes.
