Poll: The Gamer's Subject

[Shivari]

English.

Then again I'm going to be a novel writer, so I should hope that English is my majority vote.

You'll have no trouble coming up with characters. =)

In my English class we write a journal about whatever we want twice a week, and I've devoted the time to write a story in the form of diary entries. I kinda like it. I haven't gotten very far (I've only just introduced some semblance of a conflict), but I think it looks pretty good so far.

I'm a neuromusicologist.

FOR YOUR DELECTATION!

I would be a History major in college if it weren't for me liking Psychology as a subject so much.

I've been thinking about majoring in Psychology once I get to that point, but I really have no clue what I really want to do.

I'd give it a try first. If you can, take a course in it in your school. I was lucky enough to take an actual college Psychology 101 (or 201, whatever) at a local technical college within a program between my school and said college. I got an A in it, and out did alot of actual college students and adults, along with really enjoying the class.

There's a Psychology class for Seniors which I'll definitely get into. You're allowed to wait for a while to name your major right?

I search occasionally on the internet, but I've yet to find a site that's extremely helpful in picking a major. =/

Aren't they counselors, job fairs, courses, and even pamphlets to help this kinda thing at most colleges?

Regardless, I'd offer something if I knew even the slightest detail about you. (Except you're a hyper-intelligent being with Purple Ninja Syndrome.) Maybe a degree in Theoretical Philosophy, or Internet Linguistics?

 

[Aardvark]

I vote for those lovely free periods.

Classes that would have been interesting, I got incompetent, vindictive or apathetic teachers. The few decent teachers I had were in classes that bored me to suicidal rage. The whole experience was pointless, stupid and should be replaced by some kind of brain injection, ala Dark City.

 

[Dommyboy]

Comp and English. Things I will actually need in the future. Even if I do need to figure out some difficult sum, I could always use a computer or calculator for it.

 

[Typecast]

I always liked art, but I didn't do it in my final years, it gets marked down on the final score, so I ditched everything that wouldn't help me POWER LEVEL my score, so sad. :'(
I also liked English and it was one of my top 4 subjects.

I'm starting my sophomore year, so I haven't gotten into that stuff yet. I'm just trying to get a general idea of what I want to do beforehand. It never hurts to plan ahead.

I want a career that pays well and wouldn't be a pain to find a job (so chop off Internet Linguistics). That's why I'm kinda thinking Psychology as a possibility. But I really like History and am pretty interested in Science if you just want class preferences. So like a Social Science would be great (again Psychology seems to pop up).

I like English, I really do. I'm part of the school newspaper and am writing an editorial for it as we speak. But for a career, I'm just not sure how intriguing journalism is to me. My brother has quite a few friends with journalism degrees, so I could ask them a bit about it. My brother is getting his Masters in Political Science and will be getting his PhD afterwards. I'm intrigued by it, but I still think Psychology might be better for me.

Hmm, after typing this all out it looks like Psychology is a pretty good choice for me. Maybe I just needed to write it out. =P

 

[ThaBenMan]

i like history and my 3-d modeling/graphic design class
but i hate math, if math was a person i would fight him and when i won i would sodomize him with a car stereo

Same here. If Math was a street gang, I would go to war with it with bottles and chains!

 

[Larenxis]

English, of these options. Filmmaking classes are my real favourite though.

 

[crazy-j]

gym, art, history, in that order

everything else i think sucks

Which explains the English. =P

Psychology doesn't really yield itself to immediate-job-capabilities, though. If you're looking for a job literally right out of college, there's Engineering, and then there's Business. Assuming you're looking primarily for job, I'd say pursue a double-major in Business and Psychology, with a minor probably in History or English, to round out your resume. That way you can plant your feet, fiscally speaking, and still cover your bases for what you enjoy and how you can segue from job into career.

Just my two-cents.

 

[Corven]

English is my pick, all I did through high school was read books and writes summaries on them, most of the time I already read the book that they assigned me.

I'm not envisioning just getting a Bachelors degree though, I'd like to go all out and get a PhD, as job opportunities in Psychology are scare without at least a Masters. But thanks for the suggestion of a Business double major. I'm not going to decide on doing a double major at this point, but it's something to think about at least.

 

[Graidis]

I wish I could have voted for Math and Science.


And given a negative vote for English.

 

[keyton777]

I loved the sciences and engineering (i learned how to build an exploding computer, then one that didnt blow up from having a hairspray can wired in it (im going to decapitate that ryan kid) i like biology and the whole concept of astronomy
