How is it going fellow Dreamers?

I was wondering which career/major are you guys studying OR have already studied/done/got your certificate etc.

I'm thinking of going with Business Administration .

Also, was that major hard?

Honestly, the best major would be the one that you are genuinely interested in. Everyone I know who went into a major for $$$ are not very satisfied with their jobs. Salary is important, but job fulfillment is more important if you want to be satisfied with your life. If you like business administration, go for it.

You are spot on.
I got an associates degree in electronics engineering technology but after doing an internship,I decided that it wasn't for me. After lots of research, I decided to change my major to business administration with an option in supply and logistics. I hope to work for an electronics company, but on their logistics/supply chain dept.

That was spot on. I would also recommend you work and see how you like it at the place you work. For fast food, look at the management, at a hospital, you can see how the medical field works...and so on. Working in different places (don't be afraid of volunteering) so that you can see the options and their work environments.

Choose something that u love
If I could go to school I would choose education
I would love to be a teacher
I would teach for free
The smell of an old book
Or the smell of crayons priceless

I will de done with my degree in computer engineering this December and yes it is a hard major. You must have a strong math background but also a love for the major. I know plenty of kids who went into engineering majors because they wanted the earning potential and were relatively good in math but didn't like the major and ended up having a hard time and eventually had to switch majors. Choose wisely.

Business Admin is a good degree to have. Economy is in upward spiral and new businesses continue to emerge. Do it, you wont regret it.

The economy is unpredictable. A computer engineer/ computer science / electrical engineering degree is the way to go.
