What is your college major?

3rd year (out of 5) in architecture and urban planning

First Year Advanced Farrier Student at age 34

When I started college, I wanted to major in a STEM subject, because I imagined it suited my (then undiagnosed) autism symptoms better. The other STEM subjects sounded too academically difficult, so I majored in Structural Engineering. Fifth (5th) year, winter quarter, flunked out of the Jacobs School of Engineering. School let me major in something else. But there was a 200 unit limit. So not many choices.

Majored in Cognitive Science. Got a 2.1 GPA. (2.0 minimum). Felt totally ashamed of not majoring in STEM.

Later got an Associates in Accounting. And that was much easier.

Running out of ideas. Running out of options. Running out of things to do.

The few jobs I had were minimum wage, and got fired quickly.

Considering Job Corps, military, grad school, Peace Corps, Americorps.

But Job Corps has a 24 year old age limit. It says they take older applicants with qualifying disabilities, but it also sound like I am too academically educated to go.

The military sounds meaningful, but afraid of getting raped. Especially when living on base. In civilian jobs (or at least the ones I worked at), only interacted with coworkers, while on duty, and while doing work tasks. Likewise, paranoid that I would fail to cope with the physical training, get hazed (autism attracts bullying). And get sleep deprived. And locked into 4 year enlistment.

Grad school costs a lot of money. And I am not particularly good at any school subject. And the job market is worse than it used to be. And I am not good at maintaining jobs or social interactions or going to school.

The Peace Corps and Americorps are volunteer jobs with stipends. They only last for about 1 or 2 years. Then it's over. And they do not accept everyone anyway. Just do not feel like I could handle it emotionally.

Quite frankly, there is something wrong with everything. There is not something right with everything.

pre veterinary/biology

Liberal Arts/General Studies with a Psychology and English concentration

Currently? Bachelor of Science in Applied Business Analytics. When I graduated high school I was in the Aeronautical Science program at Embry-Riddle to become a pilot, but I hated dorm life and it was expensive. I moved around a lot, went to community college and got my Associates Degree, then I went back to 4 year as Pre-Med. I quit that after a semester and a half, and now I'm here. Hopefully I can stick it out until December when I'm scheduled to graduate

Currently a 3rd year college student getting a Bachelor's in Accounting.

I graduated last year with a B.A. in history and minors in both political science and humanities. I wish I had double majored in sociology and history. Oh well. Hoping to go on to get my masters in history and if that works out a PhD.

My college major would be Geographic Information Science & Technology or GIST for short. I do plan on minoring in both Geography, and Sociology.

Chemistry major with a double minor in Spanish and Materials Science & Engineering.

I started out as a Psych major, but am now on the pre-med track pursuing a degree in Cell and Molecular Biology with a minor in Psych.
