If you could go back to school (College) what would you study

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - If you could go back to school (College) what would you study (Page 1 of 3)

I have a chance to go back to school using my VA benefits, I have no clue what to study. I just moved to southern AL and have no clue what jobs are in demand. I have some computer certs but there doesn't seem like a lot of computer IT jobs in the Shores area.

Finance with a minor in business administration. If you want to be in the $, that degree can take you to some high paying jobs.

Back to college?

Getting more pie, less drinking.

I would study Nope. I hated high school. I finished, but no way was I going to college.

Wildlife Biology, like I was supposed to do before things didn't work out.

Learn a trade instead.

The world will always need welders, woodworkers, plumbers, electricians, mechanics...

Biomedical engineering.
Chemical engineering

I would still go into medicine knowing what I know now but there is no way I would go through med school again. That sucked. Worth it but I’m glad it’s behind me.

I did Computer Engineering. If I could do it again, I'd probably do Mechanical Engineering. They get all the fun projects at my work. Plus knowing how to machine things can have its benefits in other areas of life

study Anatomy & Physiology 101 with the freshman girls.

Statistics or programming would be the most useful to my career.

I would become a lawyer or a pilot. Accounting / Finance sucks...

If I had to do it again, probably go DDS then go into orthodontics.

A while back I figured out if I take a class at my local community college, I get Microsoft Office Online free for a year-ish. It's not cheaper than just buying it, but I figure I get to study something that interests me. This time I'm thinking Astronomy.

I used my GI Bill to learn a trade. Specifically, diesel wrenchin.

Zoology. Probably Ornithology and Herpetology.

Women's studies or social justice.

Ahhahahahhahahahahahaaaaaaa

I do the same thing I did, Marine Transportation, because it was a good career for the last 38 out of 40 years, or nursing because I'd be surrounded by a lot more hot women.

Biology. Get into med school. Be a heart surgeon. Buy a lambo. Have a hot wife with fake tits. Get divorced. Marry another hot wife with fake tits that the other guy bought.

Live happily ever after.

oh yeah and buy land and an M16... and a Hummer H1 and maybe an old tank while we are at it.

Nursing no matter where you want to live there are jobs they are always in demand and you will always have interesting things going on.

Critical Studies in Lesbian Literature.

No, wait, they didn't have that back in the 1970s.

I'd skip college entirely and open my own graphic design business.

Instead of studying it in college only to later discover that everything I had learned was used up in the first two weeks of my first job.

Same here. I did HVAC last year and currently in Electrician school. I never went to college the first go around, straight in to the Corps for me. I don't regret that. I do regret not doing school directly after I got out in 2005.

Being 100% honest here no bullshit: I would go back and study criminal justice and attend the police academy vs what i have done which is study fire science and go to the fire academy. I have volunteered with a police dept and currently volunteer with a FD. I see both sides of the coin. Right now i'm up to my eyes in student debt and no FT job to show for it. Everyone wants to be a FF. So you get 150-well over 1k applying for a handful of openings.

Consider this: Every town/county has paid FT & PT Law enforcement. However 85% of all firefighters are volunteer. Only med/large towns have paid fire protection. Don't get me wrong i absolutely love doing volunteer work especially with the FD but i am at the point in my life that i have to choose a FT non fire job and rarely get to to respond to calls when i'm off or never move on.

If I had to choose something not in my field? MBA with a focus on finance. I want to use the capital from my W-2 job to start investing in real estate and possibly start some other businesses. Accounting interests me a lot but only for the knowledge, the job seems less than fun.

I’m in the same boat, I got my undergrad in Finance before I joined up and have all of my VA bennies to do something else.

Heavily considering law school for business/contract law.

minority and women's gender studies seem to show up in the news a lot. Pretty sure only the school's admins only make money in that but your mileage may vary. Go for that and become a professor or university president of it and rape students parents bank accounts?

Doing this currently. If I had to start again I would have gone to medical school like I had planned instead of moving across country for a woman. Still seriously considered it, with how healthcare is in general anymore the majority of the docs I work with said if they had to do it over they would go PA.
