Geez, which time. I started with a degree in Political Science, later did Security Policy degree (not as in night watchmen but global military and political policy), I went on to do extensive aviation work and certifications, an MBA, and I am now learning Marine Architecture (just for fun).
I have also completed certifications in Welding, Radiological Non Destructive Testing, Commercial Driving, pilots ratings including Airline Transport Pilot, polygraph examinations, and transportation related certificates.
I am in college still and Im currently doing enviro engineering but its a pain in the ass and taking me longer to finish than I ever though it would. Wish I had just stuck to English like I wanted lol. there's a lesson for anyone reading who still has time: pick something you're completely passionate about and 100% interested in only. Never do anything that you're not passionate about or you don't take pleasure in otherwise you're gonna have a very hard time finishing it/feeling motivated for it
Majored in Graphic Design & Photography to refine my ability to share my perspective & vision. (B. A.)
Minored in Comparative Religions and Theosophy of non-Christian belief systems, eventually awarded an Emeritus doctorate for my volunteer teaching & community service. . Both from P. S. U. B. A. in '73 & Ph. D. e in '93~ ;)
I studied public health. I wasn't sure about it when I picked the major. I had a really cool internship in Seattle. Then I qualified for the Peace Corps and did a lot of cool work with the major. I've been working in the field for 10 years now and am in grad school for environmental health learning more about environmental protection and occupational safety. I love the field.
In no particular order by date, preference, cost or whatever - - - - BS in Communications and Visual Design. - MBA, Major in Bus Organization, Double Minor in Marketing and HR. - Cert in Telecomm (21 hours, 7 classes) - Cert in Programming (this was from the old days with COBOL, BAL and FORTRAN). - Diploma in Massage Therapy, with additional study and credentials in Oncological and Breast Massage
I did a degree in Strategic Management with equal parts Psychology and Marketing. Technically it's a triple major but the university I went to doesn't recognise multiple majors.
Right now I'm doing courses in Neurolinguistic Programming and Therapeutic Psychological Counselling and setting up a business as a personal Coach and Trauma Counsellor
I double major in Physics and Math. I took a break due to the Military, COVID-19, and work, but I want to return eventually. I have 3 Associate's Degrees: Humanities, Physical and Natural Sciences, and Social and Behavioral sciences due to the major and IGETC requirements. I hope to transfer to UCLA or CSUN if I last being in California that long. I hope to get an MS in Mechanical Engineering and a PhD in Psychics someday.
College, I did business because I wasn't allowed to do accounting but given that course has rewarded me one of my close friends and a girl worthy of setting my heart aflutter (I can honestly say that's happened maybe 5 times in my life and I dated 2 of those, was still dating when 2 of the other came along and well Covid scuppered the last one) as well as my friend in exotic rentals (who has earned well from my knowledge over the years but he's paid me a taste)
First time at college i did Biology and Chemistry and Maths, then I went on to Med School but after 2 and a bit years moved over to a Biomedical BSc, done a couple of other courses relating to my field which is medical research, now looking at a PhD.

Back in the 80's and 90's we had courses about something called computers. Bleeding edge stuff back then and looking back, completely unrelated mobile phone technology was always going to take over and as for the web, well what was wrong with bulletin boards and 56k modems?
I studied social sciences in university but then I transferred to college and taking computer programming because I ain't paying expensive tuition and dealing with wokeness.
@SaoirseS I certainly don't want to sound like I am poo-pooing you, but it's probably for the best that life led you down a different path. I can safely say that I wouldn't ever recommend law school to anyone. The education isn't great, the people are abrasive, it costs a shitload of money, the early career prospects suck and most lawyers burn out in roughly 10 years. The only reason I'm doing what I am is because of the way it interfaces with my existing career and most, if not all of my classmates are in a similar situation. I know I will have work and a job when I'm done… I don't want to be an attorney though... I am doing this because I love studying the law and I will be able to save on legal fees in the future. I can't recommend that anyone follow my path though
@IcedLemonade sounds about right... Most lawyers really do suck; they're vapid, empty people who succeed because of their social connections. it is such a shame too, because the competitive nature of the field SHOULD logically mean that lawyers would be some of the sharpest people you ever meet. Instead you just get these super privileged rich people who are totally detached from reality and usually have a chip on their shoulders from not being one of the cool kids in high school. In a legal system that could use common sense and empathy, the kind of person who succeeds in the field is anything but, and it's heartbreaking.
It's amazing how much of a "type" every career field has.
@FilmGuy93. It has worked out for me. I've had a passion for law for a long time, and fully intended to go to law school after finishing my BBA. By the start of my senior year though, I started burning out on school. I wanted to get out of school and go to work, and the thought of graduating then going on to yet another school no longer had any appeal. I did it to myself really, since I have a habit of biting off more than I could chew but somehow managing to get it all done and done well, but at quite a cost to my wellbeing. I finished the last few months of my undergrad studies online at home due to the pandemic, when my dad approached me to take over the family funeral home businesses if I was interested. At first I wasn't, having spent a lifetime growing up around the death care industry and swearing to myself I would never be part of it once I left home. The business has been in the family since 1908 (that we know of for certain), started by my great great grandfather. I was my dad's last shot at keeping it in the family for a fifth generation, so I reluctantly agreed to give it a try. I was on training wheels for about a year, but it's all in my hands now. And I honestly can't see myself doing anything else now.
First I studied marine biology, for...2-3 years. I dropped out, had a sabatic year and decided to study psychology in 2012. I finally end it in 2019. Long jorney.
I started in Fine Arts doing Acting then switched to French Studies.

Feminist studies. For my thesis I will smash the patriarchy and falsely accuse my male professors of rape so that a female professor can take over for them.
Bachelor of Business Majored in Marketing. I only found business law, stats, economics, finance , consumer psychology helpful. The rest felt like a money grab for the university.
Bachelor of science in Hospitality Management and now taking up Bachelor of Science Business administration major in marketing.

I was studying Clinical Lab. Science / Medical Technologist and ran out of money. Still have around 50 more credit hours for BS degree. Would have been very busy and making good money with the COVID pandemic.

Mass Media and Communication (Bachelor's) Business management and Entrepreneurship (extra course). Film and Camera Acting (extra course).
No, some radar and GPS. But mostly imaging signals. There is a ton of overlap between pretty much any two types of signals, though, so it's not as distinct as it may sound.
@normalice. I know enough to know I don't know enough. Really interesting stuff. I have been reading about sound propagation through salt water, convergence zones, Doppler shift, bottom bounce, etc. Complicated to say the least.
It is but computers do pretty much all the complicated work for us. And not that I don't enjoy forays into the nonpolitical realms but one of the things that irritates me most about my field is that the bulk of the best discoveries and theories were done in the 70s. Everything we do today is just some rehashed version of that with a faster computer. What's so special/political about the 70s you may ask? Why, it was the final decade that Roosevelt's New Deal provided ample funding for education before republicans under Reagan set out on the long con of taking it all back, a dollar at a time, for themselves.
Yes I agree. Students are too coward in my class to stand up against too much extra assignments where a teacher conveniently skips her duties because the lecture time is occupied with our weekly presentations.
I stood up and told her, she was speechless for a moment but then other kids were too scared to even support me. But yeah they do complain more than me behind her back. Now I won't do anything and will give a copy pasted shortcut work which won't even help me irl
