Yeah I was a history major as well for 1 semester... I love the subject but I don't wanna be a history teacher either 
Though a history major does have more opportunities than that - I saw most of them as fairly hard to come by.
Plus you practically have to be half an English major with all those damn essays

I have an anthropology degree.... I have employment doing a mix of anthropology and computer science at an ivy league university. I think I'd be best to keep that private, but it is in the new england area.
Note, that I have no background in computer science, but it is a hobby. I have mixed feelings about how I should proceed for graduate studies. Now only if I could find a program that combined the two.

Yeah. A degree in speech communications.  Although it hasn't helped me much lately. I don't plan on being in yard maintenance forever though. I've taken out a huge loan so that I can go to car wash school in the spring.

In fairness, it's like this for pretty much all of the basic sciences.

I have known myself in a way I doubt I would have ever occurred except as it did. Smith, P. Bull.

i should have stuck with computer science, which was what i was accepted to uni as. the problem with psychology is that everyone assumes you are a pretentious asshat (which may be true) trying to diagnose them at every second. no matter how many studies i run or stats courses i take, i am doomed to forever be taken as a second class scientist (which is true). oh well, maybe i'll get into a master's program and land an okay job counseling middle school kids...

I always believed people chose education and a major out of sheer intrinsic motivation...

I have to choose a major next year, assuming I get into the school I want (I'm at a community college right now) I have no idea what I want to do I'll probably go with psychology, anthropology, or linguistics or some bullshit....
It sucks because I'm definitely capable of getting a high earning degree, but I'd rather kill myself than be an engineer or doctor. Fuck, I might just be a teacher just so I can have summers off. Plus I could realistically have a master's by the time I'm 22 cause I'm only 18 and almost have my associate's, so it'd be kinda cool to lord over high school students and be only like 5 years older than them

The Internet is no replacement for a good education, good sir.
Plus that piece of paper means a lot when finding a job.

Why do you say this?
A doctor has to be one of the most rewarding jobs on the planet. Why would you rather kill yourself?
