I have an Associate Degree in Management Information Systems, but I'm thinking of going for a Business oriented Bachelor's.

:Bump:

 

With Spring '06 beginning, what majors are floating about on this board?

 

I have an Associate of Arts in both Psychology and Liberal Arts under my belt; though, nowadays, an A.A. is practically useless. At the moment, I am an aspiring Psychology major attempting to earn a B.A. I wanted to pick up another major or even a minor, but SFSU is expensive so I had to settle with one major and a part-time job.

I'll be getting my Master's in English in the spring. The extra year after undergrad it took me to get the degree has settled me on not wanting to be a professor. Few people, even in highly regarded English departments, actually seem to care about the actual pedagogical aspect of being a professor, and are more concerned with publishing and getting citations. That kind of environment seems a bit masturbatory for me, so I'm taking the terminal M.A. and heading into the real working world come May.

Ding.

 

As an update, I did graduate last May with a BS in Mathematics and did a semester of grad school and teaching. While I enjoyed teaching, graduate studies in math sucked, and I can't teach at the college level without at least a master's, so I dropped from grad school and am looking to become an actuary

Broadcast and Electronic Media....but I'd much rather write. This degree just leaves the door open for other stuff.

Why did you take broadcast then and not print? Print people hate the purty TV folk.

Bachelor's Degree

 

Major: Management Information Systems

I'm debating a return to college at some point for a Masters but I'm unsure whether it would be in History, in Computer Science, or an MBA.

Like kkk- journalism in the print field. I'm currently interning at the Toronto Sun as part of my print journalism programme.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

I'm looking to go back this summer, majoring either in Geology or something to do with Forestry.

 

Minor in Folklore.

[Guest Brian]

I have a MA in history (specifically, SouthEast Asia), but after a year of working as both for both a PT clinic and for a sports management firm (moonlighting for the latter), I've come to the conclusion that I'm not going to be going to law school or getting my doctorate, but would rather swing back into science and go for the physical therapy. When you're twenty, you don't know what the hell you want to do with your life.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

That'll last for another four years, at least. I'm betting on more like a decade.

I am going to school for a Radio Broadcasting. Its what I have always wanted to do and something I will love.

[LJSexay 0]

one year left to get my BA in Psychology, with a minor in Philosophy.

 

plans are to go to grad school, do more research (I work in the psycholinguistics lab @ UCR), and see where the hell I end up with that.

How are you with probability? I've essentially had to take a crash course in it to prepare for the first actuarial exam...

I'm in my last semester. Finishing with an Associates in Web-Based Programming and Cert.'s in Multimedia, Computer Programming, and the absolutely worthless Computer Applications.

Because it leaves me open for more if I'm more versatile.

I've had just about every writer tell me that what I'm doing at the student paper(getting experience and compiling clips) is more important than what I'm doing in school anyway.

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

I hear you. When I was in school, I went the print route and dabbled in radio and broadcast. And when it comes to the journalism field, clips are more important than A's, so you and bob are on the right track (much moreso than I was when your age). Make sure to also fiddle with Web publishing and design, although by now that should be required learning in any journalism department. When you graduate, do you plan on staying in the area or moving out to whoever offers you a job?.

 

Also, have you read any more of that book I sent you?

[Damaramu 0]

Yeah it's a pretty interesting book.

One of the ways I was told to get better in Journalism is just to read as much as possible. And as other journalists put it "Don't steal from other people but see how they write and see the different styles and borrow from everyone to create your own."

I graduate in May of 2007(it'll be my 5th year of college) and I will have had 5 semesters of work at the school paper with clippings from OU golf, baseball, softball, basketball, and football to go in my portfolio.

I hope I can stay in the area b/c I know the media around here so well but if I am offered a job somewhere else and it's all I can get then I'll take it.

When I was in school it amazed me how many students didn't read newspapers/magazines.

I have a BSE in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Mathematics.

 

From beautiful, shit-soaked Tulane.

[Guest Vitamin X]

I actually went full out with film and digital production. Don't know whatever happened to music, but I think at the time I said that I was just considering it. Then I took a composition class and hated it, so I finished up some general education at the community college and transferred to the Film and Digital Production BA program at my school, Miami International University of Art & Design.

 

I'm thinking about getting a second, more practical BA later on (possibly Psychology or something medical/legal/education for obvious reasons) as well from FSU, which is where I'm hoping to transfer after I'm done with my bachelor's, although that won't be till late next year/early `08. And by then, supposedly, my school will have helped me find some kind of job (I wish I could do some scriptwriting/directing, but I'll probably end up doing digital editing- which is something that's been really growing on me lately), so we'll see how it goes, I guess. I'm only 22, so I still have plenty of life ahead of me, thankfully.

Well I get the LA Times online and I get my local papers.

My editor and I discussed creating a columnist position at our paper. Because we're just a small student paper we usually only do the game stories and previews. But I may be the columnist next year that goes to all the games and writes columns off of it. Which should be a lot of fun.

That's a link to my stuff KKK. And yes I know I need a lot of work. I'm still learning. And for some reason it doesn't have my most recent stories on there.
