Hey you guys. I think I've decided on a major. There are a lot of subfields of sociology and I really think I would like to do this. I'm thinking I'm going to apply to LSU here in Shreveport to cut costs. I'm thinking about either minoring in English or History. I really enjoy those two disciplines and haha English was what I originally wanted to

I majored in Eng Lit and minored in Cultural Mythology. Totally useless in the job market, lol. What field of Soc do you think looks good?

[lady_leia_solo]

I'm really interested in Culture, Gender, and the Family the most.

And lol yeah it isn't the best field for a job but like Tim Gunn says "Make it work!"

[myrrhmade]

LOL, your combo actually sounds great, I'm really excited for you!

I'm really excited as well. I'm really passionate about sociology and those sub-fields so I would love to study them. I really miss the school environment as much I love learning on my own.

I was a psychology major with an English with an emphasis on writing minor. I was originally a liberal studies major, which would have given me a BA and multiple subject credential (to teach K-6) in four years, but I realized that, while I wanted to teach, I did not want to teach that age group as well as the fact that I'd spent my whole school career learning what everyone else wanted me to learn and it was time for me to choose the classes I wanted to take. However, by the time I decided this, I no longer had enough financial aid left to be a double major. I took more English units later to prove subject matter competency for my single subject credential, which would have actually given me another BA, but at the last minute, the local college said that I needed another history class and I couldn't afford part-time tuition for a single class

I know that LSU has the design your own major thing. But I haven't really given it a lot of thought but I'll rethink it.

I think it's worth looking into if you are interested in three different majors. Maybe you can work them all in instead of having to choose. :)

That's awesome. I am seriously considering going back to school & getting an English degree. I will never use it but I love English so much. =)

But I will have to give you endless grief about you attending LSU since I'm a diehard Alabama fan. ~_^

Lmao girl I ain't about that football life. But I fucking love the school so come on grief!
