I might be changing my major if I go by what my career test said.

Communications with a concentration in Gaming/Interactive Media, and a Business minor. I've got big plans for myself.

I agree, that is highly interesting. What kind of career do you want to pursue when you graduate?

I've got my BA in Journalism, History, and Russian.

After several years of mostly non-related crap jobs, I went back for my MBA at age 28. I'm just about finished with my first year. It's in Economic Crime & Fraud Management. I'm dreadful at maths, so accounting and finance are dreadful courses, but the fraud classes start next summer and I can't wait!!

Except for 2 residencies, I take my courses on-line, which really, really, really suits me far more than going to class in person did. The 3 areas I got my BA in are the ones I could stand being in class for.

Electrical Engineering. I thought about a double majoring, another one in mathematics but now I don't want to - minor in math.

Computer Science. It's a great major for an Aspie, in my opinion. The degree teaches you more than just programming. You get introduced to things like project management, hardware design, and cutting edge stuff in the upper level courses like security, artificial intelligence, and 3D graphics. At my college, you also have to take a large amount of mathematics, including Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Probability, which helps if you are doing scientific programming or 3D graphics.

I'll definitely keep that in mind.

I'm trying to learn C++ independently (hard, and boring. >_<).
I'm not in college yet, but when I'm there, I was thinking:
Physics (research, NOT teaching. O.o), Electrical Engineering, and/or Computer Science.
So, yeah. XD

I'm working on a B.S. in Biochemistry and Biotechnology with a minor in Inorganic Chemistry. Basically fulfilling my interests in Biotechnology, Microbiology, and Nanotechnology. Oh, and I also unofficially major in "arguing with luddite Green-types that hate my techno-utopianism." :lol:

After I get my degree I plan on either joining a biotech company or go on to grad school and get a Ph.D. in Microbiology

math and still looking for another major possibly

I think it's good for aspies since there is very little group work and doesn't require much communication either
