What Are You Studying in College?

[Hejira Pronounshe/him]

Hi guys, I’m currently a senior in high school. I am thinking of majoring in either Music Business or Management and minoring in Art History or International Studies.  

I’ve heard so many stories of people being in completely different industries in comparison to the jobs they do now. I know an emo rapper that has a degree in astrophysics and a lot of fashion designers have degrees in political science and architecture. 
 

What are you currently studying and what hopes do you have in the future?

I did study biostatistics and I work in research. 
Now I'm taking writing classes because I learned I hate statistics, but I won't earn a degree for it. So I guess I will do statistics forever

That’s not necessarily true. Following your true passion goes a long way. There are so many people that have found ways to use their experience to find rewarding opportunities. It might be hard to do that now because of COVID-19, however there might be eventually. It’s all a matter of patience and perseverance.

On the plus side, I will say there is something to be said for not turning things that I really love doing into work because realistically I'd probably hate any job . It's different for everyone, though. You just have to find a balance.

I studied broadcasting and filmmaking, tho broadcasting is actually my course and filmmaking is just one of the subjects (that you get to study for 4 years).

Language and literature

I studied graphic design and I work in that field now. 

[Franz Ferdinand]

I double majored in neuroscience and gender studies! Now work as a researcher in a medical lab.

I graduated in 2014 but I majored in computer science with minors in english lit and french, and I'm a software engineer now.  I kinda wish I could just take classes in random stuff these days but it's way too expensive 😭

Work for a university. You'll hate your life, but classes are free
(at least they are where I live)

Omg that's amazing, who is it (if you want to say). I was canvassing for AOC this past week and it felt so good (even if I registered a Republican first time voter, oops).

OT: I studied comp sci and theatre and now work in comp sci. Def study what you love, even if that's not the only thing you focus on.

I was studying to become an English teacher, but I couldn't stand having to use british accent/slang so I quit and now I'm trying to find another career

Same. There’s a great fashion school near me that would teach me a lot about making textiles and design but it costs quadruple what my parent has in the bank.

Cori Bush!!! She's awesome to work for and is as fierce in person as she is on camera.
