What should major in?

As discussed in ‘What classes should I take my first semester?’ I told you I was interested in majoring in business or marketing. I’ve been taking college courses for a minute now and think business management would cover a broader range, so I’m headed in that direction at this time. Heading in this direction calls for a plan of action, however… Business Management just won’t do by itself.

According to an article I read, ‘What should I major in…?’, the best majors in this day in age is biomedical sciences, biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, computer engineering, and electrical engineering with a focus on staying Green! With this information and this day and age I have to study my options but gear it in the direction in which best suits me.

I have research to do, and it won’t hurt to revisit the counselor’s office to see what major best suit the direction in which I’m headed. My parents will be most proud that I’m really thinking of my future and not just in the moment. I will let you know how all my research goes and let you know in which direction I go in regards to choosing my major.

Do you have any good tips on choosing which major is best for one’s needs? Please share by commenting below.

What classes should I take my first semester?

As you read before in ‘Starting college mid year’ you know I’m getting ready to go back to school after a little break Going back to school brings me to the big decision in what classes should I take for my first semester? I know I want to head into business or marketing as a major but I’m still unsure on which way to go. My friends think business management and marketing are not for me, they expect me to go to a trade school for fashion or web design, but really, business management is great for me. My plan is to work my way up the corporate ladder into an upper management role until I blow their socks off and run the business myself or venture off into running my own company after I gain as much experience as possible. Sounds like a pipe dream, it’s not! I have a master plan!

Back to what classes I should take this semester, our on-site counselor feels I should take Mathematical Analysis for Business II, Economics History, Business Statistics, and Managerial Accounting course to stay on track. My parents were with me when the counselor and I went over this so… my parents want me to take that direction as well.

I was hoping to take courses that would be more interesting but I’m aiming to please Moms and Pops all because I just got back from my little vacation from school which displeased them greatly! My parents really believe following my consolers recommendations will not only keep me on track but it’s there way of knowing I’m taking the right courses. I suppose their right and will do as they want until the get over this whole break thing!

Anyhow, what’s your major and what courses are you taking this semester? I hope to find others who are taking the same courses as me; maybe we can help each other along the way! Please share what courses your taking and what your major is by commenting below.
