What do you study?

Trade certifications related to materials engineering and quality control; I have a big test coming up in July and will be going back to school to do more upgrading in the fall. These courses are only a week long, which is good because I've spent enough time in school, and once I pass the tests I will get substantial raises.

I also plan on some self studying to improve computers skills in the next few months; MS office, CADD, etc.

I used to be a Computer Science Major. Decided that the career path and the clases I took for it was just going to go downhill.

So now I am a economics major with a minor in Game. Both are very hard studies, but I'm sure in a few years I'll benefit from them both.

Bachelor of Construction Engineering and Economics. I'm currently doing my Masters of Project Management.

B.A. in History and English, M.A. in History, and now a J.D. (law)... looking to either teach law or practice with a large firm. I recommend history to anybody... especially economic history, it helps put our current economic situation in perspective

Also, the level of education showcased thus far in the above replies does not surprise me at all - given all that i have learned thus far on the forums and in the threads, this is clearly an extraordinary gathering of smart, educated men looking to better themselves with women and lifestyle wise.

I'm glad to have found game, Roosh, and the Forum.

@ru2486: I totally agree, this really is an incredible place. The level of education is probably part of the reason it hasn't caved in on itself yet and become as bad as other game focused forums.

Science. Since to many people it has a weird and nerdy association, a great tip is to think of a way to avoid that. How can you frame it into something that is interesting to people that don't know much about it?

I am currently thinking about a sales pitch. How to turn that awful 'What do you study?' into an opportunity to capture the girl's imagination.

In most serious majors (STEM, hard Business majors, Economics, etc.) you have people studying with a loose idea of some career or field they want to enter. You probably deal with this even more than other people, since you're in a STEM major, with people who are trying to become doctors/dentists/medical professionals.

Ask them what they would study if future career prospects, family pressure and similar factors didn't matter at all to them.

Just an idea.

I just finished my M.S. in physics, in addition to the B.S. degrees in physics and math I already possessed. It makes me happy to see other physics and math majors here.

Though I'm not surprised there are so many well-educated men here working on building a lifestyle that transcends the nerdy beta stereotypes typically associated with guys in the STEM fields. After all, with his microbiology degree, that's exactly the Roosh model.

Though, I'm curious what the breakdown here is between naturals who knew the STEM fields would be a lucrative career choice and former nerdy betas who went into the STEM fields just out of scientific curiosity. I'm definitely one of the latter.

I have both an intellectual interest and a financial interest. One is necessary to stay motivated and the other to stay well fed. You should always think about both factors since neither is sufficient.

Choose a field that fascinates you and once you get familiar with the different topics, choose one that is also going to stay relevant in the future. Nothing takes the fun out of pleasurable job like money problems.

Bachelor Biology and afterwards I am planning on a Master in Genetics. It's an industry that will be thriving for a long, long time to come. Personally I am very interested in social behavior (surprise, surprise) and why things are the way they are.

Biology and other hard sciences, while I think they are most valuable, understandably are associated with geekness and beta males. Many of my male class mates are virgins and pussies.

I am currently thinking about a sales pitch. How to turn that awful 'What do you study?' into an opportunity to capture the girl's imagination.

I'm studying this too. A lot of the girls I meet are in psych or english so they are impressed when I say "genetics" I am also interested in the cutting edge of things so I describe a potential area of work and they light up with amazement. As long as you talk about it passionately in words they can understand you'll be fine.

Film, but it's a pretty bullshit degree. So I'll be changing majors. Also just finished freshman year.

I studied Computer Science and I'm a software engineer right now, transitioning from Web Dev to iOS apps (worked for startups but now I prefer BigCo) so if you have any questions about tech ask me anything.
 
Decent grades got me a Uni place reading history, deferred it for a year, did work experience at a TV station... Ended up staying. Never looked back.

Self employed for a good few years, location independent in the next 6 months or less.

I'm soooo glad I chose a slightly different path to the one I floated down as a teenager....


Study: I want fluent Russian really badly....Alas I'm currently studying getting wasted fairly frequently... I can't help it I'm English...
 
Surprisingly, another math and physics graduate. I'm out working right now but will probably go back to get a phd in statistics in the future. I am naturally the teaching type, but high school... I don't want none of that.

Edit: I started down the path because I took calculus based physics freshman year for science gen ed. credit and it was the only class i liked.
 
Radio and television bsc. Plus a cinema, video and photography ma on the go. I will finish next month. Nxt year, if i dont travel, i will study comunication for business
