The hardest decision a person can make during their college years (after the eternal question of beer or liquor) is: What the hell am I going to study. Picking a major is one of the most important choices an individual can make because it will be the first step that you take toward a long and profitable career. Or you could choose to be a Sociologist.
Ask yourself what your interests are. What are your goals? What skills would you like to improve on to make yourself a marketable individual in a competitive work force?

OK, now add up all your letters.
A
If you got mostly A’s then you are probably a Biology major, you like fuzzy animals, innards and tagging wildlife.
Have fun trying to get a job later on.
B
If you got mostly B’s then you are probably a Media Studies or a Communications major. Besides a slight obsession with pop-culture you are normal and welI-adjusted. I am a Media Studies major myself, and highly recommend it to anyone, but to anyone taking the Intro to Multimedia class, drop it, the internet industry is over.
C
If you got mostly C’s then you are most definitely a Computer Science major because they like internet porn more than anyone else.
D
You got a bunch of D’s, it’s probably the first time you English major. English majors are wicked smart and read fast, so I am afraid to talk to them.
E
E is for pesky Nursing majors, they like to help people almost as much as social workers. The only difference is that they deal with more poop, and wear rubber gloves.
F
Psychology majors probably chose F. Psychology majors pretend that they want to find out how the human mind works, but actually want to find out if they are crazy without having to get a professional evaluation. I took a few classes and I turned out to be OK.
You probably won’t get a job either.
G
Sweet sweet Social Work majors pick G. You love orphans, puppies and happy endings. I do not smoke crack cocaine so leave me alone.
H
Women’s Studies majors. Like any thing that break gender stereotypes. Inexplicably identify with Julia Butterfly Hill.
I
I is for Philosophy majors. Are there any at USM? Do any of us really major at anything? What does major mean? Who are you? Who am I?
Aaron Paul likes Absolut and tonics. Please send mail to [email protected].
