What do you want to do career-wise/ what are you studying for?

wednesday51

Sorry if this has been discussed before---I've never posted on this board before and don't feel like digging through old posts. I just graduated undergrad (early, before tuition increased. Score.) during the summer. I was a Poli Sci major and did a lot of language (Spanish/Portuguese) and history courses too. I've applied to law school but the way things are right now with the economy I'm leaning towards post-poning that or exploring other options and fields. 

So, what about everyone else?

My undergraduate degree is in Literature. And I'm almost done with my law degree. Criminal law is my favorite and I want to be a prosecutor.

Yep. That's part of why I'm getting cold feet. I've been hearing this a lot.

I'm hoping to go into financial advising for yound couples. I will graduate in May with a B.S. in Finance and Management and am hoping to get on with a company before going to grad school so they will pay for it.

LauraT25

My undergrad is in chemistry and I'm getting a PhD in biochemistry.  Right now I want to be a professor someday.

lca315girl

Just completed my undergraduate degrees in Biology and African American Studies. Hopefully I'll be in dental school in 6 months and studying to become an orthodontist (if I have the endurance to go for 3 more years after the initial 4 of general dentistry).

ocprincess

I'm working on a bachelors in Advertising, but with no intention of going into the industry. Lonnnnnng story, lol.

AKG_JGJ

I'm working on a bachelors in human biology and minoring (maybe double majoring) in Spanish. Hopefully going to med school once I graduate.

pooh8402

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

Undergrad: Journalism
MA (in progress): US History
PhD (hopefully): US cultural history

I hope to become a college professor, but I'm open to teaching high school or working for a foundation/historical organization.

I currently work full time in marketing and go to school part time. PhD will of course be full time.

Hi! New here too! I am a 4th year Medical student; BS was in Biology and Philosophy. About to start a 5 year residency in Radiolgy - the light at the end of the tunnel is just starting to become visible!

Oh and I am also in the Army. 

Nice getting to know all of you!

cutz3

So ya'll make me look very unambitious. 

Studying Industrial Design (product design and the like), no idea what I'm doing when I graduate in a year and a half.

I'm going to end up looking for a job where every my FI finds one.

andrewsgirl745

My major is communications with a minor in PR. Pretty much with how things are right now my goal is to any job at all that has something to do with my degree once I graduate. But I still have 2 years so things could definatly get better before then.

jamipoo79

I have a BA in Psych, but I might go for the MA, but I'm afraid to start now and have to be in classes during the wedding.

aggiebug

TriSaratops:  Radiology really????  That class is about to make me pull out my hair haha. Then again I am glad you are doing that so I didn't have to (that is, if I did MD over DVM of course)  Good luck with all your studies I hear 4th yr med is pretty much a breeze (relatively speaking)

jenandcris

I'm going for pharmacy and I graduate in a little over 2 yrs!

TriSaratops10

 aggiebug- It really is quite nice; esp because the military residency match is MEGA early (in Dec vs March for everyone else) I have 2 months of nothing to do (they give you a couple of months to interview, since everyone else has to skirt about the country trying to get a residency spot)!!  I am in total lazy mode, catching up on all of the world events, ie trashy tv. It is the first time in years that I have been able to just watch tv guilt-free!!! (I KNOW you know what I mean). Are you at A&M by any chance? (took a guess from your s/n) I went to Virginia Tech for undergrad - so I feel a connection with the corps and all What yr are you??

tmwagner

pooh- I'm also going to be a nurse and would like to work in maternity!  I work as a nursing assistant there now, so hopfully there will be a job open when I graduate and I can get right into it!

Ihaveapanda

My undergraduate degree is in Communication Disorders and I'm currently in grad school for Speech-Language Pathology then off to get my certification in Applied Behavior Analysis.

I can't wait to be Mrs. E. Love, M.S., CCC-SLP, BCBA haha a little much?

Ihaveapanda

Oops,  I want to be a speech-language pathologist and behavior analyst specializing in autism spectrum disorders. 

pooh8402

tmwagner, I'd be surprised if there wasn't a job opening for you. I'm in the job hunt now, and holy crap, jobs galore in Houston. the nursing shortage is very real.

aggiebug

Trisaratops- Yep I am at A&M! I did undergrad and now vet school here.  I am actually engaged to a former corp boy.  He was going to do Air Force but asthma made him fail his physical. 

I am in my 3rd year now, this is my last "semester" like everyone thinks of them.  In May I start clinics!

I am quite envious of your guilt free tv watching, I watch TV and pay for it later

clairissad

I just graduated in December with a BS in biology. I always wanted to do something with animals, but it's just not feasible (FI is pre-law, have to get a job where he goes and that pays better). So right now I'm working on my high school science certification. I just applied for a job working at a nature center with little kids, hoping for that so I can at least be doing hands-on science education.

damjld02

I graduated in May with a BS in chemistry, concentration in forensic science and minor in psychology.
I am now working on my MS in forensic science and will hopefully be done in May 2010 if all goes well with the master's research and thesis.

Starrwithoutnite

Im in school hoping to start my Radiology program June of 2011. Damn pre-reqs LOL.

sunnysnow44

Currently I'm going for my M.E. in special education mild/moderate
Next step, Ph.d in school psychology, but that might need to wait a couple of years... we'll see!

aprovencher21

So my undergrad degrees are in Cellular Neuroscience and Religious Studies.......though that has very little to do with what I'm actually doing now.  I finish my MBA in Pharamceutical and Healthcare business this summer and then I'll start law school in the fall of this year.  I plan on working as an intellectual property/patent law/contract lawyer for a major pharmaceutical company.  Though I know there are too many lawyers.....I don't think that's true for very specific, niche lawyers in some of the less popular areas (i.e. no divorce, malpractice, etc.). Or at least I hope so!!

kiery weiry

I'm going to graduate in August with my BA in Fine Arts with a specialty in Graphic Design. Which sounds ridiculous. For whatever reason, the school I go to doesn't offer a plain out degree in Graphic Design. But the main campus in Columbia does...hm.
I'm thinking about starting my MFA in the next year or two after graduating, we'll see. I am really needing a break right now from school. So if I go for it, I'll probably go part time.
My absolute dream job would be book cover and layout design, maybe with a little illustration on the freelance type side. But there are not many publishing companies where I am, and I don't feel comfortable being more than 1 day's drive from home because my Mom is in such bad health.

farmgirl8806

i am and agriculture education major. i could teach or do just about anything in the agriculture field, but i prefer to be a stay at home mom (it'll be a while till we have kids). my fiance would love it if i could stay home, but financially that ain't gonna happen if i can't find something to do at home that could make money. we r toying with some ideas: babysit a couple of kids (we have cozy lil house), cake decorating, sell cookies and/or something else online, sell produce and/or baked goods at the farmers market.
