Social worker here. May not be the highest paying or most glamorous job, but I'm comfortable enough and as long as people have problems, I'll have a job.

so should IT/computer science fall under engineering? (systems engineering, network engineering, software developing, etc etc)

Take a few general business courses- Macro, Micro, Business stats, Business calc, Financial and managerial accounting etc. Look into finding an advertising or marketing club and also meet people inside those majors. No need to declare anything official, most people change their minds on their major after the classes I listed before. Especially those math ones, they suck but they trim the fat from the business school.

Majored in Civil Engineering.

Realized being an engineer made me want to kill myself.

Became fighter pilot. Make less money, don't give a fuck.

I put Liberal Arts

I am majoring in Economics, minoring in Political Science and Business Administration. Debating taking the two extra courses needed for a Political Science Major but I will be a senior and a tough senior spring is not too appealing for me or my GPA.

This is interesting. Most times I see a breakdown like this, computer science is normally separated from engineering. However, in most schools the computer science department is part of the college of engineering, and the job title for a lot of computer science graduates is software engineer.

a bit weird how you separated a lot of these to pretty specific fields, but then lumped all of the rest of science into "science and liberal arts".

why wouldnt you just major in business if you're possibly gonna go for an mba... it would even be better for law. you can't do much with a history major

If he's just going to go for an MBA then what does it matter? Who wants to spend 6+ years studying fucking business? He'd probably be better off in the program with a history degree than your average business monkey anyway

My other is geological sciences too. I am a geology major, astronomy minor, planning on getting a masters and PhD in planetary geology.

I am planning to study extrasolar planetary geology and be a part of the future classification, mapping, and habitability of Earth like terrestrial planetary systems and using analogues like Mars, Venus, Eruopa, Enceladus and Titan to improve our understanding of the possible abodes for life in the universe, as well as future colonization potential in our solar system and beyond.
