  • What do you want to do?

    I sometimes stop to think if what I chose to major in /do, is actually what I want to do, or will want to do sometime along the road.

    So, I want to know what you guys chose to do, and why you chose it?

    I chose Psychology because I liked the class in high school and did well in it. I've stayed with it because I feel like it can be applied to virtually everything. I'm NOT talking about clinical stuff (therapy, analyzing, etc). I've decided that I want to pursue a PhD and stay in academia as a professor and researcher because I love to learn. I get excited when I learn something new and I love the idea of producing new information that was not previously known. I love the challenge of doing research and what better place to do it than at a good research oriented university?

      I thought about going into psychology at first, but then I changed my mind. Though it would be my second choice.

      It's an interesting field.

        I think if I grow up, I want to do something with computers and engineering ... like teach and do advanced research for example. The reason I picked computers is because it comes very easy to me and I don't have to study for it much. Plus, you only have to deal with 1's and 0's and not all the rest of the numbers that make things a lot more complicated.
        this post = teh win.

            About this forum abandoning or whatever you wanna call it, I think it was extremely childish to say the least... though admin instead of closing it down should have just banned some people (definitely not gaucho though ), this boycott or whatever is too much, but whatever makes them happy.

            What did Gaucho do to get banned?

              **getting back on topic

              I'm studying Economics, its interesting as hell, no I don't plan on being an "Economist" but I see myself in the business world, heh. Generally I take on goals other people think I cant accomplish, or things that havnt been done by anyone I know immediatly, most of the time after spending quite some time, I achieve the goals. Current goal.... learning to play a bit on the duduk... progressing better then I thought. Theres a whole bunch of stuff I want to do in life, im a bit lazy to get into it but basically, what gives me fulfillment and purpose in my life, are my accomplishments.

                  I chose to major in Marketing. I love putting together marketing campaigns. I'm good at it. I always liked media oriented fields. And I hate boring 9-5 jobs. So I think I made a pretty good decision. I always thought it was important for people to do something they actually liked, that you can contribute to and it can contribute to you__ rather than being stuck with some crappy job which you dred. Plus, I can't sit in one place for a long time.



                  Though sometimes, I do have doubts, on my pessimistic days.
