What do you wish you'd studied?

[Caliga]

Oh, geology, I forgot about that one.  Math's not too hard and you work for oil, which means both money and that your work benefits society as a whole (until we all die).

I guess I don't wish that I had majored in Geology, but I took a Geology elective and loved it, and I would have liked to have taken more Geology courses.

I probably should have majored in Computer Science... I took a bunch of CS courses but stupidly didn't take the 2 more I needed to have at least minored in it.

Chemistry. Linguistics.

I did not go to University. I should have continued in that path & do an electrical engineer degree.

or I should have done a Plumbing course.

Parts of this thread read like an updated version of Dr. Heidegger's Experiment.

I might do accounting again, but I might study something to get into oil and gas (like geology) or be an actuary (basically bump my math minor into a major).

I always wanted to go to law school, but I didn't really know what I wanted to do for an undergrad.  I took an elective in geology and thought "this looks interesting - I'll study it some more".

It got much, much, much tougher.   

I wish I'd studied history instead for an undergrad.

It's not too bad. If I could go back to 1993 and tell my former self what to do, the second thing I would tell me is to go into oil exploration. The first thing would be how to kill that one bitch without anyone finding out.

If I was 18 years now, I'd be as stumped as to what to study as I was 20 years ago. Public administration didn't turn out well. I had an interest in macro-economics, but it was too maths heavy, and even though I was pretty good at maths that turned me off. I'm interested in history, but I've come to the realization that this is something I rather consume than actively contribute to.

Literature/German literature didn't pan out too well. I think comparative literature could have been interesting, but it highly recommends reading in three languages.

I would probably go for an MBA for the utility value in the current job market, but other than that I can't really think of anything. Which is funny, because my grades were good enough that I could have picked almost anything and gotten in right away.

Since I started working in IT support I worked towards a degree in computer science. It's been ok and I've done well enough with this field, starting in opertations then in programming, and doing IT support now.
Now I wish I'd done more with history, maybe literature and take some drama classes to get into something more creative.

[Brazen]

Navel matters.

You can study your belly button whenever you want.

[Brazen]

I studied IT. I wish I'd done something less vocational like archaeology, linguistics, or the philosophy of science. After all, this was an era when is you had a degree in any subject you could walk into a post-grad IT training scheme.

[The Brain]

I studied STEM. Of course I'm happy.

[The Brain]

I studied IT.

I got a degree in History in 1995. Now, in 2014, I'm working on a second one in Computer Science. Just imagine how much money I'd have made between then and now if I'd done that first...

Tell me about it.  But if I had had that career and all that money I would never have ended up with my wife and lovely kids so, you know, it worked out somehow.
