Majors

[Tellos Athenaios]

What you going to do with a degree in that?

Develop a capacity for independent thought, reasoning, debate, and reflection? In addition he should probably be learning about formal proofs and various types of logic systems which are decidedly though subjects.

I like to go into Game Design of sorts.

Computer programming is... well, let's put it this way: in history courses you are expected to read up on your own, and in science courses you are expected to pick up on the programming on your own. To stay positive: game design is probably not what you think it is. It can be about the art, the human-computer-interaction, psychology and the like -- in which case no or hardly any programming for you; or it can be about the computer graphics, AI, and efficient algorithms in which case the computer programming itself really is the least of your worries. The two are essentially minors in various completely different fields.

Perhaps you meant CS, in which case computer programming is really the thing you don't have time for doing to satisfaction (there's always the bug/glitch/crash/oops/missing feature) or if it isn't you have to consider it might actually be not so great a CS course. Computer programming is something you pick up on your own in your spare time using the volumes of free reading material which is out there.

I'm almost done with my MBA.

Looking back, I would have been happier following TinCow's path, but my parents convinced me otherwise. Business bores me and I just don't think I have a passion for it, especially compared to history.

It is too late now though... Choose your majors wisely children. It is not all about earning potential.

Accounting for undergrad and masters. I'm planning on adding law a few years from now.

Heh, I love history, but it doesn't pay the bills. That's what the JD is for.

Right now I'm doing Integrated Studies, which is a major where the student picks two emphasis areas instead of having one major. My emphasis areas are art and music, but I think I'm going to change it to something else. I'm leaning towards Biology because I want to go into ecology or bio-technology, but I'm also interested in archaeology or anthropology.

YES.

But there is more of a need for people to go into the Computer science field then in the Philosophy field., though I would like someone to tell me why is my life worth it.
