Smile 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.

Default 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!

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.

Motif?

It's a pretty fancy word. Wonder where she learned that? In English major school?
