My name is Brian Rosenberg and I'm going to be a Senior next year at Bing. I'm currently majoring in accounting with a possible concentration in marketing and a minor in global studies. I'm not really a huge fan of accounting but after years of SOM brainwashing I feel as though this is probably my best option. I also enjoy travelling and I have studied abroad twice which has lead me to minor in global studies. I spent a summer in Tokyo studying Japanese and a semester in Copenhagen, Denmark studying business.
Studying abroad caused me to fall behind in all my gen-eds so I'm taking this course in order to fulfill a "C" requirement but I also find the subject to be quite interesting. I also hope to start an online business one day so I'm trying to learn anything that might be come in handy one day.
I understand how extreme your choices are. Degree Fields are very specific and I know that my interests dip into every field so declaring a major has been quite difficult. I am graduating w/ a degree in Biology, but I have had select courses all over that place and often they did not meet my graduation criteria.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you. I find most subjects to be interesting but it seemed that taking classes outside of my major have only lead me to be "behind" in my studies, which I don't believe should be the case and is contradictory to what I thought college was all about. I took Japanese and some extra "A" gen-eds years ago because I wanted to learn about the subjects but now I feel like I'm paying the price for my curiosity. There are so many other things I want to learn but unfortunately they won't get me any closer to graduating.
