Any College people here?

Just a month or so away from a BA in History from West Virginia University, minors in writing and philosophy, hoping to somehow turn it into a games-related job, I've always wanted to work on the lore-side of world design. also looking at grad school though, might go straight for the MA.

University of Toronto majoring in History.

Public Relations major (inspired to be after listening to the E3 podcasts complaining about PR not knowing video games) at University of Texas at San Antonio

Majoring in Greek and Roman Studies at University of Victoria and considering doing a double major to get my Ancient Languages. Probably one of the least practical career choices I can make but damn do I love Latin.

Dropped out and moved to Europe. Cus I'm a dumbass! <3

Nowadays I write about / make music for a living. And by a living I mean I moved to Hungary so that the money I made would be enough to live. Thank the lord for dual citizenship.

Technical Support at City of Glasgow. Easy shit.

I am a Computer Network Engineer major.

I work at a college as a programmer. Does that count?

Hoping to transfer to UC Davis in the Fall. Majoring in Psychology with a focus on survivors of abuse (i.e., becoming a therapist). I'd actually spend more time on these boards if not for all my classes/work.

" A second subject master’s is useful (and sometimes required) in many academic positions. Academic librarians who have faculty status are often held to similar tenure and promotion requirements as other faculty, resulting in an emphasis on research, publication, and community service in addition to their day-to-day duties. Find out more at the Association of College & Research Libraries (www.acrl.org).

Also contrary to popular perception, most professional-level librarian positions require an ALA–accredited master’s degree in library and information science (variously referred to as an MLS, MLIS, MSIS, MSLS, MA in LIS, or MS in LIS), depending on the name of the degree at the school you choose). Non-MLS positions are usually paraprofessional-level and in most libraries pay less, although some smaller or rural institutions are staffed mainly or entirely by non-MLS workers, and some of these are one-person shows"

I'm at Latrobe doing Politics Philosophy and Economics, mind if I ask what politics subject your doing?

Australian Foreign Policy with Michael O'Keefe, just had an exam today.

Starting up an English Language & Literature degree at Greenwich University this September. Exciting, though i'm really pretty worried about meeting new people; getting to know strangers isn't a big skill of mine.

I'm attending University of Maine this year. Undecided about my major.

@voxel: I went to UMaine for undergrad! Assuming you mean Orono.

@krataur: Yep! When did you go there?

@natetodamax: I graduated in 2010 with my chemistry degree. Do you have some idea of what you want to major in?

...And did you just change your name?

@krataur: Not really, still thinking about it. I was going to do NROTC but I'm losing interest now.

@natetodamax: I was just wondering, it's not a big deal if you go in undecided. You can spend a semester or two taking gen eds while you figure out what interests you.

I'm back for round two! I got my Bachelor's degree in English from IU Bloomington in 2010, and since then I spent a couple of years working low-paying jobs before I finally wised up and got myself back into grad school. I started working towards a Master's of Library Science back in January (I've been working in the field for about three years now), but after encountering the awful hiring practices in the field, I wised up again and changed my degree to a Master's of Information Science. I'm currently teaching myself some basic programming to prep for fall classes, when I'll be diving headfirst into a database rabbit hole. With any luck, two years from now I'll be out in the real world again with a lucrative position.

Public Service Announcement for English Majors: I've heard a lot of wailing and moaning and gnashing of teeth over the years about how English degrees are "useless" and won't get you anywhere in life. I'll tell you now that the true value of an English degree isn't going to reveal itself without a little hindsight. I used my degree as a stepping stone into grad school, because like many other liberal arts majors, English coursework isn't going to develop valuable, hard skills that employers want. Instead, you'll be developing critical thinking skills - you can't quite put it on a resume, but they're invaluable for tackling higher-level graduate coursework and in a great deal of professional positions. Constantly writing research papers does more than familiarize you with the finer points of Shakespeare, it's basically deep thinking practice.
