What's Q.E.D, Kagato?
General Ed is okay for me, but like you, I just wanna get straight to my major and get it over with.
Nice majors, Redemption.
What's graduate school? Lol

I was an Electrical Engineer back in school. Nowadays I write software for a living, but I'd like to get back into engineer should the opportunity arise. It was pretty interesting, I took a lot of fun math classes, and ended up specializing in communication systems. I would definitely NOT recommend engineering if you don't like math, I had to take like 3 calculus classes, 2 classes in Linear Algebra, and 2 more classes in Probability and Stochastic Processes (I'm a mean card player now thanks to those
). But if you find classes you enjoy, that's where you're going to find your major.
I do agree with your view, I liked getting to take classes that didn't deal with differential equations or vectors all the time, and it definitely gives you a broader view with which to see certain subjects. Don't overlook taking classes just because they seem fun if you can wiggle them into part of your graduation requirements. I took a class in ethnomusicology as part of my requirements (had to take some humanities classes) where we just listened to jazz in class and had a good time.

I didn't mind certain gen. eds. like Art history - I actually like art and appreciate it a lot so it wasn't a big deal, but subjects like Latin American studies and foreign language really just kind of annoys me.
I don't know what I plan to do - law school or grad. school. Further more if I go to grad school I don't have the slightest clue as to what to focus on. I don't think grad school is like getting your B.A., you usually focus on a specific study.
My top law school though is Brooklyn Law and I think I may go to John Jay for my MA (if I get it), I'm fucking sick of Albany. Horrible city - don't ever go there. I love NYC, I don't really want to leave NYC area. I love the city life way too much.
I agree with Assist on one thing though - if you're a liberal arts majors, definitely take as many classes in as many different subjects as you can. It'll open your horizons and hopefully you'll find a subject that really catches your interest.

The only problem with going this route is it does make it a lot more difficult to get a job in the tech sector should you ever find yourself not liking teaching. One good thing about having a degree in engineering/CS is that you can get a teaching job in math, but the reverse isn't necessarily true. I don't want to discourage you from going for something you want, I did have a friend that went the math route, and he does financial stuff now for a living, so it all depends on what you want your degree to do for you.

Law school affords you a lot of flexibility in terms of coming in. You can get both your masters and a JD. It's more work obviously - but its a viable option, its like double majoring.
You also can go into law school with ANY degree, biology - whatever, you name it. Most law schools actually prefer english, pyschology etc as a major because those majors are very writing intensive and demands a lot of analytical skills.
And don't worry about the CS stereotype. Most of the guys who I went with CS with were kind of guido-ish, stocky...assholes...but still Computer Science majors. Usually the CJ department and the nano-technology departments were more of the "geeky" types, but thats because they're extremely great programs.
I think the nanotechnology is one of the best in the world regarding universities. 6 billion dollars worth of investment. To get into the program you need a criminal background check, fingerprint records, etc.
The UAlbany CNSE is the first college in the world dedicated to education, research, development, and deployment in the emerging disciplines of nanoscience, nanoengineering, nanobioscience, and nanoeconomics. CNSE's Albany NanoTech Complex is the most advanced research enterprise of its kind at any university in the world. With over $6 billion in high-tech investments, the 800,000-square-foot complex attracts corporate partners from around the world and offers students a one-of-a-kind academic experience.
I've never heard of the term nanoeconomics though.

As of now I am only in a community college, taking a Vet Technician program. I figure after I'm finished and I've gotten my feet wet and a good amount of money during Internship, I may look for a college that has zoological programs. As I want to study, care for, and work with more exotic animals than household pets and farm animals.
What I like best about college is that you're actually treated like an adult. The teachers/professors don't go apeshit if your phone goes off unless their in the middle of a lecture and I can whip out my laptop whenever i want to use it for work or just to entertain myself till the end of class. Being able to sleep in with little to no consequences is also a big bonus.Parlock: I'm sorry, I'm an idiot who can't read XD.Teenracer6: I hate salt, it's too salty.Parlock: Taking in TP's sweet, sweet buttsweat didn't make me gag

I need 60 units to transfer. I have 12 completed. I have 14 this semester.
I'm gonna do more than I should, just to learn more and take more classes since I'm not paying for it!

Damn. Nice. Not too bad. I had to pay for my first three classes and everything, but now the Department of Rehabilitation is paying for my classes, books, and other materials.
I want to take more classes, but I don't want to be overwhelmed by homework and projects and shit like that.
But I am going to take classes in the summer, just to keep the ol' tinker workin'.
