Did you choose your major based on the Major's career potential?

Interest

Interest...I went back to school like 5 years later.

1/25/20 9:04pm

Absolutely. I marched into the counselors office and asked for a list of the top paying majors. I chose from the top 5.

What were the top 5?

As I recall, 4 or all 5 were engineering. I chose mechanical engineering. This was over 15 years ago.

Wow. So maybe.....pinball engineering?

Mix of both. I fell into my major - had no real idea what I was going to do freshman year and thought I’d have it all

At the time I planned on doing and MBA soon after undergrad too so I didn’t think it mattered TOO much

I knew I was going to law school and so degree didn’t matter

Chose business for career but more interested in humanities or sociology

I chose engineering due to personal interest and confidence of a career path

I chose by interest and what I could graduate with most quickly.

Chose by interest out of those that would support a family at a basic level

Neither. I knew I was going to grad school and I chose a major that was nothing more than a stepping stone

1/25/20 10:13pm

Both. Mechanical engineering.

I chose it because the subject interested me and I was good at it. I don't work

SandYFan

Interest, by far. Added to it to enhance career options.

Physics for interest & it turned out to be a great career choice, too

I suppose interest (Marriott School), but I knew potential was there. It’s nice

Breaded Hamster

Career potential but the studies were interesting to me
