What should my college major be?

Does it really matter what you major in after you graduate from college?

  • I'll be starting my second year of college next month and I'm driving myself crazy about what I should major in. I have a passion for writing, anime, and video games but I their is much money in the writing and anime fields, and I fear that I'm too behind in math to go into computer science and become a game designer. I'm afraid to graduate from college and end up with a job that I'm not happy with. I know that liking your job isn't a necessity but the point of going to college is to find a field of study that we feel passionate about and will provide a good salary, but I'm too narrow-minded and can't figure out what I want to do. Does anyone have any advice on determining what to major in? And does your major really matter once you get a 4-year degree?

  • Answer:

    For some careers your major matters, for others it doesn't. Consider majoring in computer graphics technology or web design. Not as much math in computer science and it would be an application of your artistic and writing abilities. Or consider technical writing.

Not if you do not care whether you get a career out of your degree. If you want a real career that uses your degree, yes your major really matters. All the best paying majors are career specific ones like engineering.

I got a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering. I started school as architecture, switched to math and physics, and then to civil. I look at it this way. If you do that for work, you will probably get burnt out of it and not do it as much as a hobbey... well video gaming is pretty ******* sweet so I dont know. I would definitely go into computer science. There is a lot bigger of a demand in it, and you could learn enough to start your own damn video game you know? I wish you luck, I wish I thought about that before
