El Maquina Member Since: 1/1/01 Posts: 10384	Liyon, I tried a class last year. I think my mind is too far gone plus I forgot all the other stuff from my first 3 accounting classes so many years ago. When I took the class, it was pretty much foreign to me. I've definitely lost a step my friend. You have ignored this user.

MikeD Member Since: 12/6/06 Posts: 6152	re: poorly chose majors I graduated with 12 other people with the same degree and license last spring. As far as I know, 3 ended up with jobs in the field, but one was fired shortly thereafter. gusto -  accounting as been 100% for our undergrads How many do you guys graduate a year? Good for them though, especially in these times. You have ignored this user.

"Don't choose a profession simply because it is "safe." Choose one that you will enjoy." How about out of all the "guaranteed" majors, pick the one you'd like most or the one that will allow you to transition to what you "really" want to do the easiest. Say you want to work in showbiz. You can major in film and be just like thousands of other unemployed wannabees or you can do accounting and work towards getting in the entertainment industry. You have ignored this user.
