The useless majors thread got me thinking about this.
Computer Systems & Network Technology, I'm not in that field but it did land me a job. I am thinking about going back for something different, not sure for what though.

2x majored in econ and poli sci. One was definitely worth it; take a wild guess as to which one...
Seeing as you are in DC I'm actually not sure which one you're referring to.Quote:

However, I know quite a few people in my same major that are working in some other field or aren't making much money. I definitely got lucky, due to the fact that I knew some important people in the business and interned with them (Thanks Acceleration Iowa).
If I had to do it all over again, I would probably do something else. (Accounting or Finance because the ceiling is much higher)
Media Studies, TBD.
Ag. Business and Crop Production and Physiology. I love my majors and they are VERY USEFUL. I think the guy that wrote that was a dumb**** IMO. If you have any ambition the ag field is wide open.

blow and hookers. and yes, it wad worth it.
English. waste of time and money. if you are going to school make sure you have a long term goal, a degree that is worth something, or rich parents who are paying your way.
I majored in screwing around, drinking and meeting coeds. Dropped out after one semester with a 0.0. Not worth it of course, but I learned a valuable lesson about responsibility that helped push me to do better and work harder, and got me to where I am today (in a roundabout way I suppose).
Construction Engineering.
Absolutely worth it. Great pay and benefits. Though, it's not for everyone. Long hours - high stress - lots of travel. I love my job though so it's all worth it.
