    I'm currently going for my aerospace engineering degree. I chose this major because I love airplanes and this is what my dad did and it sounded like fun. Now that I'm 3/5 of the way through it, I realize that it's not as much fun as I thought it would be and on top of that, I'm starting to think I like cars more than airplanes anyway. Would I go back and do it all differently? I don't think so, but I may not end up using my AE degree very much.

    aviation is where the money is at bro - just don't work for an airline and you'll be fine.

    Try to get on with UPS or Fedex - their business is picking up these days and they're needing more planes.

    Majored in 3D Modeling and Animation, work as a Digital Compositor, might go back for a masters in Graphic Design.

    Do I feel like I wish I had done something else? ....Errr, sometimes. Just because I day dream about different professions, like a Veterinarian or Forensic Scientist.

    I haven't had a job in 3D animation. All the animation I have done was while in college for personal shorts and some friends' thesises. I actually don't like it much . I currently work in digital compositing and graphic design, and have freelanced for MTV, Psyop Inc., etc. for TV spots, music videos, and commercials. Full time, I work at a full service Photography studio, and do mostly compositing and retouching.

    "Machine tool technology". Loving it so far, been working at a race engine shop/machine shop for a year and a half and it shows no signs of getting old.

    Going back to school for journalism as a side job is in the near future though.

    i'm graduating from AiA next spring, focusing mainly on 2D animation and concept/background design... that's where my heart's at. I have dabbled in some 3d animation -- just what I need to get by with a degree. Hated it. I do enjoy modeling in 3d though. Just not animating. As far as what I've done: mainly just side projects and the occasional class project worth keeping. Nothing of monetary value yet. Soon though...

    Computer Science and yes, I'd go back for Accounting since it's what I do now anyway. I have education in Accounting and a whole hell of a lot of experience but just not the official degree.

    BBA in Logistics & BBA in Marketing.......the Marketing undergrad was a waste IMO.

    My job pays, I use the Logistics degree.......thus for now, I like it.

    I like my undergrad choices, but for Grad school I am lost. My options/desires are MS Healthcare Administration, MS in Operations Research, MS in Information Technology, or MS in International Logistics.

    If I could start ALL over, it would have been Aerospace Engineering PERIOD!

    I have a BS in Mathematics and working on another one in Mechanical Engineering (dual degree program). In though I'm having a tough time right now, I wouldn't change much.
