How many of you found what you really wanted to after studying in University? In two years i will be going to England and i have no idea what i want to study :s

 

[NFallin]

BA History minor in International Business.

Went to work as a salesman.

Now maybe going to work in the oil sands. Has anyone regretted going to university?

 

[RASER]

Study nothing, i know everything

Anyway:

Worked @ H&H Bagels with Cosmo, but we have been on strike for 12 years...

Organismal Ecology - about to graduate

 

[snoop]

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.

creates intrigue if done correctly

Fascinating....I graduated in 1997 in Civil Engineering. I am a professional engineer working on a billion dollar rail project.

Always got good grades until I hit Engineering school. The profs were into weeding people out; of course I had other interests as well. I wouldn't go back to school; I love rail projects and doing this kind of work. I hung in there in school to follow that path.

Now, I study history, wine making and other topics that interest me (game, for example). I need to teach my boys Game before they do something Beta.

 

[presidentcarter]

Finance and economics double major

 

[Hannibal]

Physics and german. German because it was easy, physics because it pays the bills.

I figure I can wageslave for a while until I figure out what I want to do.

Hopefully I'll be able to sharpen my game properly in the years to come.

 

[Architekt]

@Hannibal: If you're interested/skilled in physics, maybe you could port that over to some more physics based type of engineering degree like aerospace or something. I also imagine that German would be a very useful language to have if you choose that pathway.

If you don't know what you want to study then you should not waste your time going to school.

I have a degree in Exercise Science. I changed my major about 10 times before deciding. I should have dropped out of college, it was a complete waste of time and money (but lots of fun, so not really a waste). What I do now has absolutely nothing to do with my degree. I would have been better off using that time and money for more useful things.

I'm firmly against higher education, unless you have a VERY specific reason for going to school (i.e. going to Law school because you're PASSIONATE about law). Time is better spent learning useful skills that will actually get you somewhere in life.

I regret wasting 4 years in college. If I had started learning what I'm doing now back when I started school, instead of going to school, I'd be way richer right now.

 

[T and A Man]

B.Business (Accounting/Finance)
Grad.Dip in E-Commerce

In progress for my M.Applied Finance (Financial Planning and Strategic Management)

I think I would have had more satisfaction as an electrician.

 

[Magic Bullets]

Currently studying Bachelor of Urban and Regional planning at USC.

@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.

Agreed.

Also, I find it fascinating just how many of you study numerical subjects, or ones that require a scientific brain. I guess you have more of a natural affinity with Roosh's scientist-style game than some of the more linguistic-brained of us. I did a History degree btw.

 

[ElBorrachoInfamoso]

BS degrees in physics and chemistry.
Masters and PhD in physics.

I've also studied a lot of math, molecular biology, finance, economics and history on my own or in the classroom.

I'm a management consultant. Science doesn't pay the bills like it used to.

 

[Angry Beaver]

BA in History, currently enrolled in Peace and Conflict Studies

 

[jmoney29]

I just finished my BA in Economics and Political Science. I am temping while trying to find something as close to a real job as possible in this economy.

 

[w00t]

Working on my Diplom for Sociology.
It's an utter waste of time and I feel scammed. I think my interests wouldve been covered better in macro-economics or history.

All the skills I make money with I taught myself or learned in self-education.

So dont do it kids. Dont fall for the lie "academics are always in demand, just study what you like".

 

[Ensam]

B.S. in Math and Mech. Eng., Ph.D. in Physics. Worked as an engineer for a few years before going back for the Ph.D. I got several high impact papers out of my grad work and ultimately my current job simply because I knew how to build experiments that worked the right way the first time. You'd be surprised at how many experimental physicists are horrible engineers. They all think they're great at it but it's a rare and valuable exception to be good at both. If you want an infinitely employable skill set get good at engineering and physics.

 

[Mekorig]

Working on my Law School degree. With any luck, in year and a half.
