Hikin' Mama Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 BA in Psychology. I began (first 3 years) as a journalism major, and did some internship work in that area. But I really wanted to be a counselor and help other people. I was also extremely interested in psychology. I planned on getting a master's in couselling, but I had kids instead. :D Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 My BS is in Materials Science and Engineering. My MS is in ceramic engineering because Georgia Tech did not have an ABET accredited MS in Mat Sci until the next year. My PhD major was Materials Science and Engineering with a minor in EE. I am also certified to teach 6-12 math in Georgia through an alternative teacher prep program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol in Cal. Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 The Plan: Landscape Architecture The Reality: BS Horticulture BTW, dh has a BS in ChemE, and it's a brutal degree, at least at Purdue. I'm amazed 2 people so far have gotten it without specific plans to continue in that field somehow, since that would provide motivation to survive. My hat is off to you! Wow, Purdue--home of the 'Honk if you passed P Chem' bumper sticker! Actually, I did use my Chem E degree for quite a few years. And now I kick some serious homeschooling butt in teaching chemistry to DD, who is unimpressed but should not be. When I was in school, Chem E was the most regimented major on campus. It has fewer optional classes or breadth requirements than any other major. Chem E's all thought that Electrical Engineering/Computer Science was the toughest major on campus. EECS majors all thought that Chem E was the toughest major on campus. What I think now is that most people either think chemically or electrically, and so their opposite always seems harder. (I think the same thing about geometry vs. algebra.) Personally, I always found it easier to understand why water would flow somewhere than electricity. When Chem E books put flow in terms of electrical circuit analogies, I always found it annoying. However, it occurs to me in retrospect that I should have applied my intuitive understanding of water flow to electricity. Then maybe I would have done better in Electronics. My point? Help your kids figure out analogies that enable them to picture what is going on in abstract scientific phenomena, and they will do better.

Krista in LA Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I studied EE for 4 years (still had one more year to go since I had transferred colleges) when I decided that I really didn't like it. I switched to MIS (management information systems) and loved it. I'm so glad I changed and I find the things I learned after I changed my major are far more useful in my life now. But I'm glad that I have that strong math and science background too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
