Major and life work
 

Majored in broadcast journalism at Southern Illinois, then got a newspaper job. After working my way through college in small radio stations, I never again worked full-time on the air, though I did do a lot of part-time gigs and had a free-lance sideline career as the voice of a lot of companies in radio and TV commercials in the Midwest for years.

Ended up spending 40 years (so far) as a newspaper reporter and, now, editor in Illinois and Florida. Would like to retire in about 3 years and TV looks very good to me (I visit frequently; it's only 110 miles from my house to Spanish Springs). With the state of our industry and my employer, though, I may be "freed" somewhat earlier than hoped.

Hi cybrgeezer,

I noticed that this is your very first post here, and I just wanted to tell you that I really like your screen name. (or should I write 'screenname'?)

Anyway, cybrgeezer is a wonderful name. It is kind of an oxymoron.

I know that I really need to be more careful about throwing words like 'oxymoron' around or somebody here might suspect that I am (or is it was?) an English major.

Welcome, cybrgeezer. And what a great name you have.

Electrical Engineering. Used it to get my first job with IBM and maybe the some the first couple years. After that never really used much of what I studied.

Masters in Social Work and Health Services Administration.

Technical degree in Electronics at RCA, (techinician's course), that eventually lead to computer technician, LAN Administrator, Operations Specialist and presently pursuing a degree in being retired in TV, (a really worthwhile goal). :laugh:

Declare a Major or else!
 

My husbands best friend always answers I figure out the problems with phone systems. Everyone thinks he installs phones. (He designed Belgium’s new phone system.)
I think he is addicted to school.
This guy loves going to school, has taken classes evenings all his life. They finally told him at the local community college that he couldn't take anymore classes for credit unless he declared a major. (As he has 2 masters and a PHD in math already he hadn't declared.) He said Ok fine I think he has finished 2 more BAs since then.

Bureaucracy got to love it. (NOT)

Forgot to answer the question.
 

I have a BA in Business Admin. was doing a 5 year BA/MBA and got sick of school so only finished the first 3 years that gave me a BA. Could only find work as a retail clerk couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Checked the transcript it had learning disabled on it because I have dyslexia and this was before spell check and was granted grace for spelling errors. Learning diabled,I was taking 24 credits a semester. Had it expunged and worked in retail store management and buying (planning) off and on the rest of my life.

Hubby majored in Physics because it didn't require any term papers. (U of Hawaii go figure) It was only after he graduated that he found out a BS in Physics is useless (Masters or PHD really needed) so back he went for civil engineering. Is he a Civil Engineer? Nope Aerospace.

My major was ........
 

I majored in Music Education but listened to my Dad when he gave me these words of wisdom. "Son ...... not everyone is going to study or play music. You need to get into one of the BIG 5". And he was correct. 1) Everyone is born, 2) Everyone has to have a place to live, 3) Everyone has to eat, 4) Everyone is going to be sick, 5) Everyone is going to die.
Dosen't matter your gender, race, religion, political affiliation, etc. Everyone has or will experience all of the "BIG 5". Get in one of those fields and you will never be out of work. Think about it!!!
I ended up choosing the medical field. And my Dad was absolutely correct. I never, ever was laid off, down-sized or any of those other terms. I went into the field of Medical Radiology and after almost 43 years am still working (albeit only one day a week now). RHIP!

Well, well, Mr. Tony, did I hear you say, "bump"?

Yes, I, too, think it is fun to see all the different majors and careers of TOTVers.

But bump-worthy though this thread may be, when I saw that you, Mr. Tony, had bumped it, today, bumped it -- your very own-self, I must admit that I wondered if I had spotted a motif. And then I thought, "Ohhhhh, noooo, I don't see a motif anywhere. Only an English major would think there is a recurring theme in all these many posts where you, sir, have tried and tried to make me say that I am an English major.

I do not know where you get such an idea. And I sure don't know nuthin' 'bout no motifs.

In fact, as I think back on all of your misguided plots, setting all those traps for me, thinking that I am an English major, I have to say Mr. Tony, that this is taking on the tone of a Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoon.

Beep Beep, Mr. Tony. Beep Beep.
