What do you study?

[Avery]

Who's studying what? What are you going to college for? What did you graduate in? What do you want to go to college for? Choose whichever applies ^^

I'm an Anthropology/Archaeology major at Rutgers University.

(This thread started because I heard Yvonne shares my archaology interest and Rochelle shares my anthropology interest- anyone else an A/A?)

[Vix]

I just finished my Master's in early childhood education.

[Bree]

According to my fortune cookie (which says "You will complete your goal in 2 months!") I am going to sucessfully graduate with my degree in Computer Science on May 5th.

That's the theory, anyway. ;)

[Dana]

I'm finishing my GE's now (I'll be done with them this semester.  Yay!).  Then I'll probably be going into Business.  The classes will be hard, but to have fun and keep my sanity, I'll take some electives.  The English Dept. is going to be offering a Harry Potter class next Spring, so my friend and I are going to take it together  *g*

[Rochelle]

As already mentioned I have my B.S. In Anthropology, with dual concentrations in Cultural Anthropology and Archaeology. I'm curren;ty halfway through my Masters of Library and Information Science.

[Mikel]

One of my olderst friends is a professor of Cultural Anthropology at a school in PA.  Those of us back home loved getting e-mails from her hubby who followed her around the world, recounting their travels.

[Eimi]

I got the absolute useless degree - Psychology.  And I was one class away from Asian Studies with a Japanese minor.

What would I LIKE to study?  oh... EVERYTHING...

And I did too!  I think I took a class in just about every field at school just for fun - from Physics to Theatre to History to Geography...  I took Math only cause I had to though :P  And NO CHEMISTRY (though I had a bit of that in Geology...)

[Yvonne]

Woot! There's archaeologists! I swear, wherever I go, I find them. It's like a psychic skill or something.

I have a B.A. in Anthropology specializing in Archaeology with a minor in English. I am particularly facinated with pulp fiction (especially early pulp like penny dreadfuls and gothics) and working class fiction, as well as early agriculture and subsistence strategies. Throw in gender (which I don't know enough about) and I'm in heaven.

Okay....

BA (Hons) in Communication Studies
MSc in Manufacturing & Management Information Systems

[PastMember]

I'm just past the halfway mark toward getting my associates degree in the performing arts with a focus on Theatre. Since it's a 2-year community college, I need to figure out where I'll be going for my BA/BFA. Rutgers is one possibility. I'm just not sure if I want to stay here in the city (NYC) or go upstate / out of state

[Clancey]

I have a Bachelor's in Animal Science from Texas A&M University.  Whoop!  Hey Avril, my brother in law went to Rutgers!  Great school:)

I would like to go to Vet School and quit this whole Marketing thing in the Ag Industry I'm doing now and open my own practice someday.   Large animals!

[Patrick]

Gah, I feel so YOUNG!  I'm still in High School! (ONE more year to GO! Woot!)  But I'm going to major in Veterinary Science with hopefully minors in Music Theory and Paleontology.  I'd much rather major in Paleontology but there's about seven jobs out there for struggling paleontologists, but everyone wants people to fix their broken animals.  So vet seems like the better paying path.  And I still deal with animals, just living ones instead of fossilized ones!

[Mikel]

I am so OLD.

When I went off to school, to a college that no longer exists, it was to become a Marine Biologist, and to study Emperor Penguins.

Never did graduate (long story) and at this end of a colorful and eclectic resume I am a Senior Support tech that knows precious little about computers.

To give young Patrick some perspective, I had a friend in High School who had the ONLY calculator in the school.  It added, subtracted, multiplied and divided.  Thats it.  It was about the size of a small paperback book, and cost over $100.

[Patrick]

Lucky you Mikel.  What an age we live in that EVERY student has at least TWO calculators and half of us have laptops!  (Not me because I'm poor :()

[Avery]

Some students are so poor they can't even afford a calculator... I got in trouble when I took Intermediate Algebra here at Rutgers because I didn't have a scientific or graphing calculator because I'd never been able to afford one :/ I had to borrow my friend's (who is a physics major) spare scientific calculator.
