what major did you take in college?

[mules83]

Graduating in may with b.s. in aeronautical science. I hear you on that one lawman. Hopefully it will pay off in the long run.

186 days!!!! (185 days till commissioning which means so much more)

I was NROTC, but I got my BS in Electrical Engineering.

Marketing - wish I had done history, lit, or philosophy....

To caveat thisguy, if you don't like engineering in college, why would you want a job with engineering after college? You know, I could have gotten a medical degree and had a lot of opporunities to work in hospitals, but, needles scare me and I hate hospitals.

Study what you want to study. You'll have a lot more fun and still get to fly planes like your engineering buddies who were miserable all through college.

It may have been miserable, but it was what I wanted to study. I know I'm not necessarily the norm, but I didn't want to coast through college and learn nothing, even though I knew I wasn't going to use the degree after graduation. I think EE has benefited me a lot in the aviation pipeline. I was already used to high workloads and fast-paced learning... it didn't (doesn't) bother me one bit. Except making 10 ONAV charts in 3 days. THAT sucks.

My husband has a BS in Finance and he will be a supply officer...

well it seemed appealing but i guess not anymore. i dont know how much ill have to do or if ill have to catch up screw it. im thinking about computer science, criminal justice, or political science. i think any of those majors for me will be better than an engineering major.

Computer Science is a lot of probability, abstract math, and algorithmic math. It's not just making neat "Hello World" programs. It's a good amount of work. It is a step down from Engineering though

 

[Purdue Jones]

Industrial Engineering and minor in Electrical Engineering. GO Spoilermakers!

 

[Logico]

Philosophy. BDCP Intel now. It is difficult to describe the subject to people who don't know or have only taken a few intro classes in it. It is great for providing critical reasoning skills, analysis, and it provides a great amount of exposure to other fields (physical sciences, math, social sciences, etc.).

my husband was a music major; now intel officer.

 

[DocT]

History major here.

 

[A4sForever]

....Yes, I like people.

The more I'm around people .... the more I like dogs. (AW ??)

 

[theduke]

mechanical engineering

 

[Goober]

Geography...so I could fly over water

 

[nittany03]

Information Sciences and Technology. And ditto to what phrogpilot said!

But for the record...Commercial Aviation & Air Traffic Control

Does this mean when you start flight school you will be having arguments with yourself?
