That would be astronomy,
Or astrology...

Brought to you by the moment that spacetime began.
Ooh very interesting
I plan on doing majoring in Psychology as well, do you think it was worth majoring in?

I'm a couple months from an A.S. in liberal arts. Next year I'm working towards my B.A. in anthropology and japanese.
Bachelor of Applied Science in Civil Engineering (specialized in transportation, geotechnical engineering/pavement design, and water resources).

I found it interesting. It's not vocational of course, unless you plan on being a psychologist. I learned a lot about beer, too.

Do you 'know' or believe?
Mine was information science

It can vary greatly, different online institutions have vastly different standards and types of accreditation/certification, for some of them the degrees are not worth the paper they are printed on, while others can be quite reasonable. If you are referring to online education run by a traditional education institution as opposed to an online institution, they can be quite highly regarded (I know at my uni there were significant components that could be completed entirely online in some degrees)

We mechanical engineers really appreciate the work you guys do, ie, providing something for our cars & trucks to drive on & for our planes to land on.
Some say that your work is low & glamorless, but I say you're useful. You let us shine.

At University, I changed my major multiple times:
Engineering
Psychology
Engineering Physics
Organizational Psychology
I ended up with an Associates (2 year) Degree in Engineering Technology, then got a B.S. degree in Metaphysical Science. Currently working on my masters thesis, and plan to go for a PhD in Comparative Religion.
Hopefully will be done with school in about 2 more years.

Plant Physiology? Awesome. Did you have to study a specific plant? What was it? :drool:

No degree. Stopped going after one year. Couldn't afford it, and ended up not needing it. Turns out that talent and ability were more relevant. Besides, I've always valued learning too much to be interested in school.
MBA's are still quite useful (as is accounting).
It all depends upon your goals.
One of the biggest failings I see in fellow business owners is a lack of financial accounting skills.
(People don't understand that mere bookkeeping ain't enuf.)

Other than math, I wish I could saw I learned much from my this part of my college schooling, but alot of the course material I already knew, sometimes to a much greater degree, from watching documentaries and reading science articles. I didn't even read the text book for half of my classes. And what really sucked was when they started to enforce attendance, because I use to habitually miss classes. One class I missed over half of it, and a couple of them I only showed up for labs and tests. As long as a student's grades are good, I really don't see why attendance is an issue just because it is important for most students. I even got an email over my attendance for one class, lecturing me on how important attendance is for good grades, even though I made all A's in the class.
I am hoping that a real university might be better, but from some of the documentaries I have seen on higher education, even at a real university there seems to be an issue with students who put forth very minimal effort and make good grades.
I know a lady with an MBA who is an account for Homeland Security. It's not the best paying job (or most secure ATM), but the pay is a solid midde-class income. Not alot of flashy toys and expensive gadgets, but money is not an issue for her and she has enough to insist on helping her daughter financially whenever her daughter runs into financial troubles.

I hope to start a failing business one day. Accounting seems like it will come in handy.

Story of a generation right there.
The only reason I'm going is the potential for high income immediately after I finish my degree. I'm gonna have about 12 grand in student debt when I finish.
EDIT: Well, might not be that bad. I turn 24 next go around with FAFSA, so I might actually get some serious grant money for the ol' senior year. (FINALLY).
