If you could go back to university or college would you choose a different degree or qualification?

[thegreenyogi]

If so what would it be?

[AI Opinion]

I actually did go back.

My first degree was in business; later I completed an MBA at Harvard, then additional studies in education and psychology. If I were starting over at 18, I’d probably choose:

- Psychology + Computer Science as a double major
- Then an MBA later

That mix gives you insight into people, data, and systems—hugely valuable in almost any career and incredibly flexible if you decide to pivot.

different to the one I tried the first time and quite half-way? yes... lol

I didn't really have an interest on engineering like that, and so... I'd probably into a different kind of engineering

I always had a particular interest for arches, and bridges as well... so maybe that, and perhaps, architecture as well

[EmmaMary]

If given the time I would possibly look at "upgrading" my BSc to a MSc.

How about your goodself @thegreenyogi xxx

[thegreenyogi]

@EmmaMary If it was for me I would have become a full time academic and studied literature, philosophy and languages and probably ended up becoming a teacher of some sort xxx

[AviatorTom]

Nope, my engineering degree has served me well during my long engineering career.

If I did go back though, Might party more than I did the first time.

[Friendlybro79]

Yes! I would have went into a trade and opened a business for myself.

[thegreenyogi]

What kind of buisness would you have liked to have?

[Friendlybro79]

An electrician. I believe these types of blue collar jobs will survive AI much longer than white collar that I found myself into. It's hard to start at my age but I would have if I would have known how bad corporate America was going to get.

I took advice from my family. They were blue collar mainly and would say he smarter go to school this is hard on your body and now those jobs pay better. My friends that are in this field make way more than you would think and have a crew of people at this point so they're not killing themselves physically every day.

[thegreenyogi]

It's a shame you can't change. You would have saved yourself so much stress.

[Friendlybro79]

Yeah that's true. Well it's not that I couldn't I just might not be very good ha. It would take time to be trained as an apprentice and it would take too long to build. If I was 25 it would make more sense. I have to just stick it through now but it will pay off. Stress is inevitable so I'm proud of what i have accomplished but I would recommend younger folks to go into business for themselves especially in America. Corporate America doesn't care about anyone.

[thegreenyogi]

Yeah I can imagine.

[abc3643]

I'd go simply to learn more. Likely, I'd take mathematics courses, primarily in Analysis or Number Theory.

[BCRanger10]

Probably, and I'd pick something slightly more useful than what I did before.

[7Phoenix7]

Yea I would actually stay and pursue a degree in psychology… and become a psychologist.

[Chazmatazz269]

My retirement plan is to study entomology or arachnology.

[Miristheiss]

Yes, I have 2 degree programs I may have taken instead.

[Miristheiss]

Oh, what would it be.
Investment banker or actuarial analyst.

[Sexiestjohnson]

Prior to this time my answer will be yes but now... NO Oooo. I would choose the same course

[AngryCarl3]

No, I'd rather get an apprenticeship and learn a trade.

[Hellraiser1984]

Id go with a bachelor's in education. I stupidly chose social and human services. A complete sh*t degree DO NOT ever go for it EVER. Three years out from college and at least 50 rejection letters from places where I could use it.

[xawyx-3]

I di go back once... maybe I would do it again, but I'm not sure what kind of degree or qualification would by my next choice yet.

[msc545]

No I would do the same. I liked it then and I like it now.

[Dr_Dixon_Cider]

Instead of becoming a doctor, I would have...

Probably started with a username more like Cheeks_Clapper_MD.

[queenofcardio]

No, I'm content with my choices

[Paige2006]

No... I am happy with the one I got

[AgentG111]

Absolutely not.

[832loverboy73]

Economics rather than Business.

[ElenaLena]

Nope..
