    These groupings don't make any sense, but oh well.

    I graduated in 2006 (Class of '05) with a BS in Civil Engineering from Texas A&M. Whoop!

    Don't worry, I have a BA in history (Soviet history) and have been gainfully employed (in finance) ever since.

    Bachelors/Masters/PHD in Linguistics, focus on the more astute or, cunning if you will, virtues of language.

    I majored in History as well, and it's not as bad as you think. Many lawyers have history/political science degrees. For my degree, I had to write 10-12 page papers on obscure topics frequently, research a full day, and read walls of texts. These three skills and the depth of your liberal arts knowledge can be valuable to certain industries and social groups.

    If you can afford it, try to add a second STEM degree if it makes you feel better. I may go back to school for a 3rd or 4th major, but I'd stick out like a sore thumb in that young audience. It would've been easier if I'd stayed an extra year when tuition was dirt cheap too lol. Now it's 10x higher!

    I have a step-brother that has 2 degrees in music.

    He later joined the army...


    ...as enlisted, not officer.

    Question for you MIS guys - I am doing MIS as well. I am in my 2nd year, so I'm only in some lower division business courses so far since I just declared.

    Do you guys have any internships? If so when did you begin / when do you recommend people begin searching for one? And what year did you take classes that gave you the skills to complete the tasks asked of you in the Internship?

    Good luck! Have you decided in which order you'll be taking them?

    I'm thinking FAR, Audit, BEC and Regulation. I want to start off with the hardest sections first so I'm not struggling with those at the end. I'm really dreading this exam. Any advice?
