College Majors?
I've been having a tough time deciding and was just curious!
I've been thinking about advertising, public relations, or english.

Hmm... it depends on what the best skill you have. If you are very good in convincing people, communications, and have good self confidence, maybe you can consider yourself to study more about advertising and public relations. But when you are very good in literature, linguistics, and communication, you may take English as your first choice. Anyway, it's just my opinion. It's you who know the best for yourself. Don't be in hurry. Ask more wise adult people to help you. I was just like you before I entered my college.I've been thinking about advertising, public relations, or english.

I would recommend just sticking to gen. ed classes for your first year. That way, you will get a taste of diff classes and it may help you pin down an area of study you want to pursue. If you do this, you don't even need to choose a major right away. Either way, have fun and enjoy every second of college because it flies by!
BTW, I'm finishing up my undergrad as a Liberal Studies major/Art minor ... so I had the chance to study quite a few diff. areas!

its the only school i found with a program in writing that also dealt with publishing and prepared for careers as authors, editors and publishers.

Human services with a focus in victim survivor services. I am finishing this May and I wish I had done either library science or a nursing degree.
I took all of my Gen ed's at a community college first. Much cheaper and I had fun. Plus I changed my major about 4 times during that time so its a good thing I played around for awhile then went on to my four year school. I am 26 and I don't think I am ever going to know what I want to be when I grow up!

actually, it isn't that hard. you just need man power.. a few writers and a decided topic.. oh and some way to pay for the printing. If you do want to start a magazine i know a printer =)Linda wrote:thats so cool, my mom is insisting i just somehow start my own magazine and im like mom...it is not that easy lol she's very supportive tho, unlike my dad who thinks as a writing major in going to live on someones couch my entire life. lolknightss wrote:that's f'in sick linda, i'm trying to start a publishing company up =)Linda wrote:I'm a Writing, Literature & Publishing major at Emerson College in Boston.

I took up an interest in Business Management, found it to be rather boring, but only have 7 classes left. I will be continuing on to get a Master's in cybercrime and foresnic accounting.
I know sounds boring (well the accounting part at least), but I enjoy it and it will get me on step closer to my FBI career path.
