You should come visit my school. I know of a number of people who intend to study law or medicine. Sometimes I regret not going in for medicine. Then I remember how much I hated physics and chemistry. :P

I have a B.A. in Christian Studies and am pursuing an M.Div. with my concentration in North American Church Planting. Essentially, I want to be a pastor and start churches full-time. In the future I may pursue a PhD. in some type of Christian Ministry and an art degree.

Indeed. I've just got to make sure I'm passionate enough, willing to do what it takes for the job, and most importantly doing it all according to what God would have me to do. :D

Finishing my BA in Economics, will hopefully get accepted into business school later and get an MBA.

My goal is to start up my own business(s). Right now I'm saving for a patent for one of my inventions, $5,000 :/

I've been studying theoretical physics, engineering, philosophy, and history in my free time. TBH I kinda regret even going to college, I learn evrything by myself, i teach myself, read lots of books on my own time, it just seems like a waste, except the social element.

Need to go for that piece of paper you get at the end, or no one can know if you are practical in the field.

I've been going to a church that friend of mine started in january of 07 (i started going in march of 07). I play drums and run around taking attendance after music.

My advice: Don't get too caught up in number crunching in the short term, meaning, don't ever get discouraged because of seasonal dropoffs. We went from 60 down to 40s in the first summer then up close to 100 by the end of the first year. then down to 70s/60s again, then up to close to 140 in the second summer but slumped down to 120 at the end of the year. in the past 2 months we're now averaging close to 200 and we're starting to have seating issues.

the point being: you can't let a short drop get you down. keep in mind what the whole point is. Jaded unchurched people don't come in because they like that you use powerpoint and have spiky hair. they come because their life was changed for the better.

[QUOTE="Espada12"]

Yea let me give you some advice, explore all your options, I wasted thousands on dollars and 4 years of my time on my first degree(not that it's bad to have more than one :) ), because after an internship and 2 years of studying it I came to the realisation that it wasn't for me, I am currently doing law then going to do a masters in international relations. I ended up actually sitting down, researching and getting information on subjects I was interested in and I chose one based on my info. You should do the same.

super_mario_128

Yeh, I know I need to do something where I'm likely to come out with plenty of job opportunities. Maths is something I'm good at, yet I'm not sure I'd like to spend four years of my life, and potentially decades more, basing my life around the topic. If I were to go for something that interests me: ancient history, or film studies, I'd enjoy the course, and subject, but what jobs will be available to me after that? Few in comparison to jobs for maths graduates. Gah, I have time to consider it at least. Thank you for taking your time to help me out.

Some arts majors can feel free to correct me on this, but the most typical job a B.A. gets you is a teaching job, which is fine if thats what you want to do.

Getting a math degree doesn't necesarily shoehorn you into pure mathematics the rest of your life, it's just a valuable toolset for employers. you get a lot of mobility in with math. If you wanted something a little more focused, think about an engineering degree. From their, you can work in your field, maybe get an mba while you work to get in upperish management.

Music major, either composition or education, we'll see.

College auditions coming up slowly, ugh Im nervous.

But there arent many male voice majors, especially with my theory background, so things look good so far. Still scared.

Indeed, thanks for the advice. I've been in seminary for less than a month and they are already making me uncomfortable enough that I won't continue unless I'm called. In other words, it'll take a lot for me to quit. I do find the "spiky hair" part humorous since that is so common with church planters these days. :P

I just started the major, so we haven't done much yet, to be honest. I have experience with all kinds of programs though, photoshop, flash, mpeg streamclip, and I'm learning some final-cut pro as well, although it's pretty self-explanatory. I don't know what the specific 3d animation program is though.

3ds max is a commonly used in unis and technology institutions, though I'm not sure if they start you off with that or use it in later stage courses.

[QUOTE="Teenaged"]

I am majoring in Greek Philology with a specialisation in Linguistics.

LZ71

Curious, what is Philology? The study of Phil? :P

There you go:

From Wikipedia:

Philology considers both form and meaning in linguistic expression, combining linguistics and literary studies.

The term philology is derived from the Greek φιλολογία (philologia), from the terms φίλος (philos), meaning "loved, beloved, dear, friend" and λόγος (logos), meaning "word, articulation, reason", describing a love of learning, of literature as well as of argument and reasoning, reflecting the range of activities included under the notion of λόγος. The term changed little with the Latin philologia, and later entered the English language in the 16th century, from the Middle French philologie, in the sense of "love of literature".


:P

PS: Its weird that all this time I mentioned that I study Greek Philology and no one knew what I mean or never bothered asking me...... :/

Computer Science with software engineering is probably one of the hardest thing i can think of.
