More Nonsense

What College Major Are You/Should You Be?

It’s a tie!

Your major should be part Computer Science. You like nothing more than
spending long nights with friends in the computer lab… which is a
good thing since that’s exactly how you’ll spend the next couple years.
Your major should be part Art. You are sensitive, creative, and you
don’t follow established rules. Unfortunately, you’ll have to follow some rules if you ever want that promotion at Starbucks.

That really reminds me of the conversations I’d have with people when I finished high school. People would ask the ever famous question, “What do you feel like majoring in?”
My answer was always; “Art.”
“Are you crazy? Why? You did very well at school.”
“I want to do art.”
“Why don’t you do medicine? You’ve got the grades for it.”
“I want to do art.”
“Why don’t you do computer science or something, you’re always sitting on that machine, you must be really good with it.”
“I want to do art.”
“Fine, then do architecture! That is art you know, it’s just art for smart people.”
“I want to do art.”

Ironically, none of my college applications were sent with “Art” as a major or minor. I had architecture, economics, and English.

In the end though, I ended up doing art anyway.

    What matters the most is studying something we relate to .. enjoy .. and want to do things with …
    Not what is expected from us!

    well I liked the star bucks Idea :)))

    I want to study art = I want to work at starbucks.

    actually u know something am an Engineer and I envy u ..us we study facts and stuff and rules and formulas u dont….. ur mind is free from all that and that appears very clear in the diffrence between ur photography and mine …u seem to look for real bizar pictures and turn them into art me I always look for that setreo typed lovely sean of the sky the sea the sun and the green it is lets say fixed versus dynamic.

    now us if we can combine ur mentality that u learn from art with the facts that we have it would make us scientists or inventors but simply lots of us cant…:)

    If i had to choose again If I had to I would defnitly choose art becoz I have the ability to make a good cofee so I can fit in in star bucks:)

    lol, I got!
    Your major should be Psychology. You enjoy understanding people, especially if it helps you get their numbers. You can save the books for grad school, right now it’s all about field work.

    not sure what to think about that!

    Your major should be Engineering. Logic is your friend. With enough work, you can find a solution to anything… Unless it involves dating or parties

    You wanted to do Economics? It doesn’t seem like calculas was your thing.
    The Econ. Department at University of Jordan is quite awful, I was looking up the faculty’s published papers for a research project and was quite surprised to see how bad they were.

    I got a tie between business (:S) and art!

    “(Architecture) is art you know, it’s just art for smart people.” Hehe… people keeps saying that! It’s funny… when you announce yo want to do arts, everyone around you suddenly starts putting so much effort in digging all the meaningless, small things you’re remotely interested in to turn them into a potential career choice. “But you spend hours on the pc”, “You’re good at solving problems”, “You really enjoyed the chapter on genetics in Biology”…

    I love and truly respect how you remained faithful to what you wanted:)
