[QUOTE=Estolle93;35223132]Hmmm, thanks guys. I was thinking of being a vet, but I heard vet school is harder to get into than med school, and I don't really have the grades for that. I might go with something in the Computer Science area. Engineering would be cool, except I really, REALLY blow at math :l[/QUOTE]
The most math you're going to do in the computer science area is in the math courses required for the degree itself. The majority of computer science is just logic and algorithms.
I almost changed my major 3 or 4 times because I was so bad at math and programming. But I stuck with it and now I feel like I'm actually learning valuable information (compared to many liberal arts majors).
Computer Science majors are so in demand. I got a high paying internship without hardly even trying. Its a great feeling knowing that once you graduate school you're going to make maximum dosh.

Notice how the Computer Science pacman is eating all the other STEM jobs.[/QUOTE]
If anyone has even the slightest amount of competence with a computer, it can be helluva lot of fun actually doing it in college, there are loads of different areas you can major in, it's amazing how much there is that can benefit you from it.
[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;35217772]doesn't necessarily pay as much though
combine CS with mathematics for maximum dosh[/QUOTE]
I think it would be best paired with business. The amount of opportunity in the computing field is crazy. Think about all the entrepreneurs that are making money from apps right now. The knowledge from a business degree would help a lot with working up the company ladder or starting your own business.
Criminal Justice Major.
Photography and Illustration.
Criminal Justice. Gonna do forensics an shit.
Join me in Architectural Design/Engineering if you wanna be unemployed :v:
That pacman solidifies my choice of Computer Science :dance:
[QUOTE=trotskygrad;35221470]petro eng is where the dosh is, seriously.[/QUOTE]
Aerospace/Aeronautical Engineers make the same amount. Software Engineers make close to the same amount as well, and there are MANY more Software Engineers than Petrol Engineers. You don't get a job for the money, or else you will hate it.
[QUOTE=Funcoot;35213759]It's promising, but I don't know how I would enjoy it personally as a career. I also see engineering degrees starting to go the same route that business degrees went. 10 years ago, everyone and their mother decided to get a business degree, and I see more and more people doing so with engineering. Of course, the demand is there, no question about that, but there are seriously a LOT of people going after those degrees. Then again, with the direction technology is happening, its still a safe investment, but I don't know what it's going to mean 5 years from now.[/QUOTE]
There may be more people going into engineering now but I don't think it'll ever get to the point that business majors are at simply because engineering is more difficult. I'm not trying to scare people away from pursuing engineering but a lot of people avoid it because of the heavy workload and higher drop-out rates. A business degree is a pretty general degree and tends to be pretty easy to accomplish. Even if there are a lot of people who want to get into engineering, there are less people who are actually good at it. I just don't see a math and science intensive degree program becoming all that popular.

You raise a very good point. It just seems that many more intelligent people are drifting towards engineering than ever before. But then again, I'm just going based off of what I've been hearing from my friends and everyone else on the internet, but now that you mention it that way, I agree with you. It has definitely increased in popularity, but as I said, you do raise a very good point. I didn't not factor in those issues.
For a major,
Do what's best for you other people said.
If you love the job, then it won't be hard as you think it would be.
Do chemical engineering, like me. Less chemistry more math.
In reality this is one big thing that you will have to decide on your own. If you pick a major because someone told you to or because someone told you "you'll make more money with this major" then you're screwed. Grab one that you enjoy doing.

Hard to do if you don't like anything.
[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;35235038]Hard to do if you don't like anything.[/QUOTE]
People who don't like anything simply didn't try enough things.
No matter what, find something you enjoy. You'll hate yourself if you don't like (or love) your career.
