I majored in History, but near the end of my time in university began taking accounting and computer courses at the local community college (and continued that afterward along with starting out as a lowly clerk). Needless to say, glad that I discovered and focused on something practical like that.

I majored in Journalism and worked in the Scribbling Profession for a few years. Then I got a job as a coal salesman.

History was my first major when I entered Uni, just to get in. After the second sem, most of my classmates changed majors to Physics, Film and Accounting. 4 of us went to Business. When we talked to each other, it was really in their plans to change majors and only submitted a History major just to get into university. Good memories, my freshman class had the highest concentration of hot girls.

I majored in History as well, but have never regretted it...it didn’t hurt that I already had a career in the computer field going into college though...that’s what gave me the freedom to study what I loved, rather than what was practical. That’s not for everyone, but it worked for me.
