With those kinds of majors, the onus is definitely on you to figure out careers. The path isn't guided like it would be with Engineering or another "more practical" science.

That's not to suggest, of course, that there are inherently fewer gigs within any given field of study. Some of them just aren't as giftwrapped.

Writing major here.

:hello: It's a job that keeps You surfing the internet and busy with search engines, databases and books, too. And You don't have to sell crap to people who already have enough crap. I have a steady day job at the Finnish Language, Literature and Art Research Library of the University of Helsinki myself. Steady reads as ten years in February.

But my day job and bands have effectively stalled my graduating. My major is actually aesthetics. Analytical aesthetics as in art philosophy. Helsinki University is one of the rare universities in the world where You can major from aesthetics, whereas in other universities You'll study it as a specialized field of philosophy. Among philosophical study subjects the aesthetics and art philosophy is an interesting field since the argued values are often far more perceivable than they are in many others.

This is how I felt about Engineering.

I gots me a B.S. degree in Physics from Henderson State University in the sleepy town of Arkadelphia, Arkansas.
Just graduated in May. I liked studying physics because it gets at what's really going on, and it's so, like.. All-encompassing.
Can't really get too many jobs though with just a bachelor's, and i'm pretty terrified of grad school.
I plan on staying out of school for a good while, making music and just living life, whatever that means.

hi five. Me too BSc physics/electronics just graduated last year. Even though I kinda tried to study something useful I still ended up in a pretty average job, but we'll see what comes up. Jobs are hard to get so i'm pretty happy just to have one.

The post was about what you major was/is.

If you want to do a new thread on "Things you dreamed about doing that will never fucking happen", then that would be pretty cool, too. :idk: :lol:

Yeah, I know. Me too, though. Always wanted to be a rock star. Never happened, and I don't see that changing. :(
