I am wondering what people majored in college and what jobs they have now.

I just chose my final major and i am unsure of what jobs i will be eligible for so to speak later on. I miss my liberal arts fun college classes!

Re: what was your major in college

I got a degree i enjoyed, and didn't give a shit what sort of job i'd be elligible for afterwards. Not the point of going to college for me. Graduated with a Literature/Creative Writing degree. Loved every bit of it.

Could have been a teacher, but kids pretty much suck, so...that was out.

Was in medical sales for 7 years after college, now i own my own company.
