What will/did you study in college?

[.sarah]

I was just wondering what everyone is planning to study or did study in college. I'm going to study culinary - probably baking but maybe vegetarian cooking. It's so funny, I've grown up all of my life thinking I would go to college to do something with animals, and what happens? I end up like everyone else in my family :rolleyes: Baking runs in my family, my dad's side had a bakery back in the '60s.

I've always loved baking and cooking though so I'm pretty excited to go. The college is a private college right up the street from my house and I went up there last week to peek in the windows and they have the coolest baking equipment :D I'm going to go for a tour soon.

[Karen]

I studied illustration and graphic design, I have a BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) degree from Massachusetts College of Art.

[dab_20]

Well... I think I'm going to become a vet or something like it, so whatever they study! lol

[Glacier]

The first time I went to college I got a degree in broadcasting. That didn't work out quite like I had it planned so I went back to school. Got a Bachelor of Social Work. Currently working on a post-degree certificate in gerontology.

[CountryWolf07]

I'm at the Ohio State University - so I'm studying Visual Communication Design (graphic design), in short.

[petslover]

I am in college majoring in Business Administration. I will be done next year.

[lizbud]

I started college planning on a degree in Medical Technology. I did
very well with all the book work, but found I passed out at the first sight
of blood at attendind my first real life surgery. :o
Switched my major to Computer Technology and found it so much easier
to learn & practice.

[Crazy-Cat-Lover]

I graduated from college last year. I took the Veterinary Hospital Assistant course. I wanted to go to culinary arts, but the tution is $11,000.00! :eek:

[BC_MoM]

1 year left of high school and I'm still not sure.. but here's what I'm interested in becoming:

- A graphic design artist
- Photographer (part time)
- History Teacher
- Something in veterinary medicine

[Pembroke_Corgi]

I graduated last year with a bachelors in psychology. However, I need to go back to school to do anything with it! :o I want to go to a Phd program in cognitive/experimental psychology but if that doesn't work out I will probably just get a masters in teaching.

[Mad Mags Moo]

I was a trained nurse but no longer practising, also have a BSc (Bachelor of science degree) from Aberdeen University (Scotland, UK) but all this education is not used as i am a professional.....CATSITTER!!!!!!! ;) :D

[gemini9961]

I graduated in December 2003 with a BA in Criminology. Not using at this current time though. :(

[binka_nugget]

I'm not planning on going to a college but there is a program I'm planning on taking soon. It's an extensive course for aspiring dog trainers. They cover everything from basic obedience to personal protection. :D

[k9krazee]

I will be going to Ferris State in the fall and my major is Applied Biology/Pre-Veterinary Medicine :D My lifelong goal is to become a Vet and hopefully open my own practice someday. Buut, if something should happen and I don't want that anymore <yeah right> I would love to be a Coroner or a Medical Examiner :o

[WolvesRawk]

Collage is a long way away for me. However, I think I'm going to do something medical related. I'm already in a vet science course that will help me get a scholarship to collage, but I think I'll end up being a surgen.(sorry if I misspelled it!) It would be like dissecting(spelling?) people!

[sammy101]

I still have 2 more years of Highschool,and i have no idea what i want to do :o
either..
vet technician
business & commerce
international business
or Lawyer.

[My Peanuts]

I studied business and I have a Bachelors degree with a major in Business Administration and a minor in Economics :)

[Cincy'sMom]

I started college majoring in Chemical engineering. After two years, and a co-op job in that field, I decided that wasn't what I wanted to do. Instead, I graduated with a BS in Biochemistry. I worked in R&D for 5 years after I graduated, before moving to an analyticallab, where I was reviewing work done by chemists to be sure it met regulatory requirements. I am now working in a technical sales position, where I advise our clients what chemistry work they need to do to get clearance from the FDA or other notified bodeis for their medical devices (to prove they are safe).

[Ginger's Mom]

I graduated with a B.A. in Criminal Justice, and I am working in a related field now. Way back when I went to school they didn't have such a profession as a Paralegal, but if they did that is what I would have done. :)

[CalliesMom]

I graduated with my BS in 2003 majoring in Veterinary Sciences. I thought I wanted to go to vet school but decided to get my Master's first. I finished that last August and am now working on my PhD. I do research on tick-borne illnesses and could not imagine doing anything else.

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

I'm not sure what I'm going to take yet, probably just a couple grooming and dog training courses/programs though. I don't think those are even offered in colleges, but I'm not sure, I haven't really looked into anything as of yet. I used to want to be a vet, up until this past year or so...now it just doesn't interest me at all simply because I don't think I could handle surgeries well and I want a job that only involves dogs.

[buckner]

I'm majoring in Education next fall at Transylvania. I'll spend 4 years there, get my BA, and then go to Seminary. I aspire to be a youth minister, but I'm majoring in Education because teaching would be my next choice - in case my role as a youth minister doesn't pay the bills, I can also teach during the day. :)

[Roxyluvsme13]

Vet Technician.

[Lobodeb]

I went to nursing school, made it through all the coursework with flying colors, got to my first clinical and almost threw up on my patient! :o I learned the hard way that I don't have the stomach to be a nurse, but I love trauma. My next move? What else, a paramedic, right? Trauma, sure! The first week, we were learning to intibate people. I found out that people throw up on you a lot, I checked out the next day. I then went to beauty school as I love to do hair and nails. I'm not sure if you're familiar with the whole beauty school sweat shop, but it's basically cheap labor. The students don't get paid. Your tips are your income. I had a lady come in, wanted a full set of nails, pedicure, hair cut, color and perm. I worked on her ALL DAY! She was my only client for the day. She tipped me $.50! :mad:

My next move is to go to culinary school to become a pastry chef. I've always loved to back. I want to open my own bakery some day. It'll be doggie friendly, too! ;)

[Giselle]

I WILL major in Vet med come heaven or come he11. There's no ifs ands or buts about it :D

[caseysmom]

Sophie, we have the best vet school in the country right here in Davis, do you want to go there? Thats where my daughter wants to go.

[cyber-sibes]

I'm graduating this Saturday with my MA! my concentration was Art History. I also completed a BFA back in 2002. (I'm a late bloomer - didn't get to start college till I was 45) :D
(Amy/Cincy'smom - your work sounds very interesting!)

[zanyshihtzu]

I started college last october to finish my degree in bussiness. Hopefully I will graduate in 2009. I found a great progarm for working adults. It allows me to work full time and attend classes one night a week. And everyone is a older college student like myself.

[Sevaede]

I am going to school for Veterinary Medicine in the fall. I will be attending either LSUS/LSUBR or Texas A&M University. I would love to specialize in something but EVERYTHING interests me so I probably won't. If I HAD to pick one I would probably choose something involving the spine or diseases.

[pnance]

I have a BS in Animal Science (Pre-vet specialty), but I haven't really done much with it since college. I've completed a certificate program in clinical trail management and design which is what I'm doing now.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Graduated as a teacher for primary schools, LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGG time ago
(1977 lol).

[neko1]

I majored in psychology with a minor in gerontology

[JenBKR]

I have a B.S. in psychology with a minor in sociology. Not sure what exactly I want to do yet, but I was excepted into a really good MA program for professional counseling, so I am considering that.

[Lobodeb]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Better late than never!

[catlover4ever]

I graduated in 1991 with an AS and studied Travel Administration.....basically I learned the in's and out's of the travel industry. I had always planned on become a travel agent but I ended up a flight attendant instead, left that business and went to work in the hotel business, left that and went into the medical field.

[Cookiebaker]

I had was an english major, with a focus of book publishing. I finished that major, and decided that I would never, ever do anything with it. Basically, you sit at a desk all day, pushing a pencil and correcting grammar and spelling errors. While it might be for some people, it just isn't for me.

Then, I took a couple of courses in Phlebotomy (drawing blood), took an internship and loved it. I got a job working at a local hospital and hated it. I was put on the emergency room with basically no special training (that is *very* different than a lab setting) and quit 3 weeks later.

Now, I have a job managing a small copy shop -- I do use some training I got from my publishing major, but for the most part not. I love, love, love my job, and can definitely see myself doing this 5, 10, 25, 50 years down the road. It's very diverse -- everyday is different. It's creative, and rarely is it boring. :cool:

[king2005]

I took the Police Foundations Program... a 2yr old could have passed that course :rolleyes: Not a good program at the college I went to.. its suppose to be hard, & nop open book to the point of being told which page & which paragraph to copy down :(

[caseysmom]

I got a B.S. in business administration with a minor in MIS. I work with mainframe computers now, probably sounds boring to the younger crowd but I enjoy it.

[Miss Z]

I'm going to study veterinary science and medicine:) . Hopefully I'll make it to Cambridge or the Royal Veterinary College in London. It's a 5-6 year course but I'm prepared for the commitment!!!

[Anita Cholaine]

I've been thinking a lot about this lately, and I'm almost completely conviced that I'm gonna study graphic desing. I'm sure that I will study photography too!

[Zippy]

I know i want to take some bird behavior courses,I think I want to manage a petco,or vet tech

[lvpets2002]

Graduated as a teacher for primary schools, LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGG time ago
(1977 lol).
:eek: SSHH Lut & dont tell everyone how LONGGGGGGGGGGG ago it was & they will think we are so Young :D

For real I graduated College with Associates Degree in Business Management && I am in Aviation {HELP} :p

[dogzr#1]

I still have a good amount of time to college but I have already prepared for it. I am going to go to Texas A & M in College Station, near Houston. It is the only vet school in Texas so that is where I will be going. I don't know if I want to be a specialist in one particular thing (ie: specialty in farm animals, reptiles etc). Still got a lot of planning to do.

Thanks for the support:)

[Alysser]

I truley have no clue what I want to be. Definatley something with animals. Possibly, a dog trainer. Possibly Graphic Design. I really want to be a Zoologist though. I would love to work with wild Big cats and wild little cats. It would be awesome to work with any wild animal. I'd love to be in the woods hiking. Also, possibly a Author as I love writing. But my heart is set on being a zoologist.

[Giselle]

Sophie, we have the best vet school in the country right here in Davis, do you want to go there? Thats where my daughter wants to go.
I ultimately will probably end up going to Davis, but Cornell is where my heart lies :p Of course, the tuition is through the roof and I'm doubtful I can make it in, so chances are I'll go to Davis. Plus, I can drive home every weekend to see my pups!

[Suki Wingy]

I have 2 more years to make up my mind, but hopefully zoology. I have wanted to be a zookeeper (big cats) for many years. I understand:
-it's a very competitive job
-the salary is not great
-you have to intern for at least 2 years before you can even think about getting a real job

My backups are something in the field museum, eventually curator. I mom had the best job when I was young, she researched a culture, then wrote the displays at the Field Museum. It combines my two favorite subjects; history and english, and for once, not much math!<< :mad: I hate math!!!!!!!!!!

Whatever I do I will be making adds for dogs and taking pictures on the side.

[Buddy Blaze Lover]

Hmm...well, I'm interested in a few things, but I'm not positive what I'm going to major in yet...time will tell. :)

[Edwina's Secretary]

Bachelor of Science degree in Business Adminstration with a concentration in Labor Relations.

[*JTM*Coco*pi*Caramel*]

Im still in school but so far I did....

2 years of a Bachelor of Science with a major in Biology
1 year of a Bachelor of Science with an undecided major

And now in the Fall Im going into Nursing!!!!!! :)

[Cincy'sMom]

I'm graduating this Saturday with my MA! my concentration was Art History. I also completed a BFA back in 2002. (I'm a late bloomer - didn't get to start college till I was 45) :D

Congrats Pat!!

For the most part, it is interesting, and I enjoy it. I get to see and hear about alot of the new devices that will be coming out before they are released. Although I can't say a lot about most of it, one of the new projects we are bidding on testing is the packaging for a canine pain med. The manufacturer is really going above and beyond the FDA requirements for a vet med, which of course makes me happy!! Their feeling is that package for animals medicines should be just as safe as it is for humans ( European agencies require this, US does not). Anyway, it is easy to get off on a tangent because it is interesting!!

[smokey the elder]

I got my BS in Chemistry and a PhD in Polymer Chemistry. After doing polymer science for about 16 years I switched to analytical in the pharma industry. I mainly "babysit" reactions (in-process testing is what THEY like to call it, but it's really babysitting... :p ) It's quite a change, but I love all kinds of analytical tests and instrumentation.

[Cataholic]

I have a BA in political science, which is pretty much a worthless degree. I worked for awhile, and decided I wasn't argumentative enough, so, I went on to law school, and obtained my juris doctorate (JD).

What type of law are you practicing?

[CathyBogart]

If all goes well, I'll be entering into the Vet Tech program at my school in the fall!

[Cataholic]

What type of law are you practicing?

I have a general practice (excluding all things domestic, juvenile), a fair amount of civil litigation, and about 10% prosecution for a local municipality. And, whatever else pays the bills...he he he.

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Well, I REALLY want to be eathier:
A: A vet technician
OR
B: a animal cop! ;) :D
I just LOVE watching all of those animal cop shows on Animal Planet, and I think I'd like to do that! :)

wow! that's so creepy/funny.. my first job was in advertising/jjournalism (can you guys tell..yakkity yak) but by a quirk of fate, i became a corporate travel agent for over 32 years. my overall plan, once i fully recovered from spine surgery, was to go into the medical field.
heartfelt congratulations and lots of luck to all in all your exciting endeavours!
depending how my wrist mends, will i be able to decide what new career to tackle.

Have you ever done jury research? (Look at me trying to hock our product.) :o

I played bassoon in high school! :D

[lute]

i'm going to a dog bahavior school in OH. i want to become a behaviorist and/or dog trainer. i also have an internship with a dog trainer this summer.

[emily_the_spoiled]

I am one of those people that could never quite decide "what I want to be when I grow up", so I have been to university on three different occasions. I have a Bachelor of Pharmacy (yes I used to practice but not any more), a business degree (MBA), and I finally broke down and got myself a PhD looking at health outcomes (a fancy way of talking about health policy and how effective medical treatment is). But I finally found something that I enjoy doing (and the hours are a lot better than being a pharmacist ;) )

[KitCat]

I have a Bachelor Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Florida Atlantic University. I have worked in graphics since 1993 and the for last 7 years I got involved with web design, and that's what I do now. All along I have been taking classes to keep up with technology and advance my skills. I enjoy taking classes, working my brain and meeting new people, and I start a web programming class in June.

Have a great time with your education, and learn alot!

[jazzcat]

I graduated in 1990 with a BS in Communications. My emphasis was Public Relations and Journalism.
