Well, guys, it's summer! And since i'm going to college in the fall, I got suddenly incredibly curious about what you all are studying/going to study!

So, basically, post/talk about what you'll hopefully get a degree in! And, for the younger members, what you might study in the future.

Uh, so I'm the weird one who decided "hey, studying Musical Theater might be fun," so that's what I'm getting my degree in. Maybe I'll get on Broadway eventually; who knows?
 
In September I'll be heading back for the third year of my biology degree. It's pretty awesome, biology. So far I've done more to specialise in genetics/genomics/that kind of area than in any of the others; next year I hope to further specialise and study developmental genetics/biology. Fun times.
 
I was pre-law for a year, then switched to music education for three. And now I'm a fine arts major with a concentration in composition. Because I want to starve or something, yes. Oh, and I'm now minoring in women/gender studies, again because starving.

I'm doing a joint in anthropology and sociology! :o I'll be going back to do my second year soon for more complex stuff. Not unexpectedly the two complement each other well.

My second (third?) choice would definitely be linguistics, which I only minor in. :( I love it and it's great.
 
Engineering physics here. I keep asking myself if it's the right choice for me; the theory is interesting, but I'm not sure if it's what I want to do for a living. But it's as sound a choice as any, I suppose. If I do change my mind, I'll probably head into psychology instead.
 
Double-majoring in German and Urban Studies. Urban Studies at my school is an interdisciplinary major with courses from Political Science, Geography, Sociology, Urban Planning, and History.
 
I'm doing maths, which is pretty interesting! It's really surprising to me how learning obvious facts in a different way makes you look at them differently. Like the fact that pi is less than 6. It was obvious before but it makes more sense now!

There are lots of kind of maths I can go into but I'm not entirely sure what I want to get into just yet. Though I've decided not to take any statistics next year.
 
Creative Industries Bachelor, Animation major, possibly videogame design and culture minor.
 
english because it's the best and all of your degrees are smelly and rubbish.
 
I'll be majoring in Architecture, and, despite my academic advisor's flabbergasted looks and attempts at dissuasion, I might be able to pull off a minor in computer science and japanese. (Thank god for AP credits clearing up my schedule of GED's)
 
Computer Science, with a... something in math. I don't know how much of my degree I want the non-overlapping math to take up yet; I think a few months in I'm going to discover that I have absolutely no aptitude for math whatsoever and I don't know what I'd study then. :p
 
I'm going to be starting my second year of elementary education. Unlike most of my friends, I came out of my freshman year relatively unscathed and not a year behind!
 
Just finished my first year of English and Creative Writing! It's pretty fun I guess. (Plus I may be able to do a CW dissertation, which sounds good to me.)
 
I was in for Law Enforcement, dropped it, picked up EMT/Paramedic, dropped that.

Currently in limbo, but thinking of getting in for working in the nursing home again.
 
Umm, my running plan is to go to one of the very very few schools in the US that give degrees in ethology, AKA animal behavior.

I JUST DO NOT KNOW YET though help me
 
Double major in music therapy and psychology (seeing as how majoring in psych is a requirement for music therapy).

My mom seriously wants me to consider a major in statistics or some sort of science (prominently physics, chemistry or computer science) though, since I'm extremely good at those subjects (well idk bout statistics since I haven't taken it but some of the projects I've done in my free time kind of indicate something that could be useful in the field, and I have a terrific time working on these projects) and tend to enjoy them. If music therapy doesn't seem like something I'd want to do for the rest of my life and neither does psychology then I'll look into one of the other fields.

There's a lot of fields I know I'd be good at and I'd probably enjoy but ultimately I have no clue which one to go for :/
 
French and German because languages are fun. I'm about to enter third year (which is the year abroad; I'm going to France and then Germany). I chose my languages initially mainly for the funsies and was wondering a tiiny bit if I wanted to become an interpreter, but pretty sure I don't want to do that and I'm not positive I even want a particularly language-orientated job. (I know that technically, loads of jobs are relevant to/can involve languages, but a lot of my job ideas have pretty much nothing immediately to do with them.) Part of me wants to get an okay job while I feverishly write the next best-selling book and then luxuriate in my millions. Just in case this doesn't happen, I'm thinking of back-ups.

That sounds so cool :D

I graduated last summer with a BA in Sociology, which is probably even more useless than English, of What Do You Do With A BA In English? fame. What it is good for, though, is getting on to a MA Sociology course and because I'm brilliant/my lecturers love me, it's being paid for by the same uni.

My plans for next year are to work and earn some money while thinking about what I want to do with my life. Near the top of the list of possibilities is to do a PhD in Sociology at the same uni, go on to lecture Sociology at the same uni, and then after a long time, to die and be buried somewhere in the uni grounds. Sociologically.
