If you could go back and study something different, what would you study?
My major was Political Science. If I could do it again, I´d study architecture or photography.
I have three degrees (two in law which I use) and one was for interest (fine arts) if I could go back and do something for pleasure I would do journalism or project management. Studying is SOOO time consuming though. I couldn't face it again..
For me this question is quite impossible to answer as I am still in high school. Soon I have to make some decisions because this will be my last year there. I have been considering about applying to study South Asian studies, international studies or development studies.I am not yet sure though. Luckily I have still like half a year to think about this.
i studied english literature, art history and political science (yay, jane!). and i would choose architecture (yay again!) or that fairly new literature programme at leipzig university if i had to do it again. i loved it at uni, i just love to immerse myself in books. come to think of it, that's what i do for a living, so - not too bad at all...
I was a psychology major. Did nothing with that once I realized I'd have to get my degree in social work in order to do the kind of counseling work that interested me (and then work for years as a social worker which really isn't for me). I should have majored in something related to writing. And I wish I minored in something fine arts related. Also wish I had taken acting classes (for fun of course). Many regrets regarding my college choices which were very boring and safe and contribute very little to the professional career path that I took.
I'm a rubbish student (have lots of interests but lack discipline big time; I’m more of a autodidact, really) so I’m not sure I could be bothered to do it all again (not that I applied myself too much the first time round, mind!) Still love what I studied (English Lang & Lit) but perhaps would also (on top of that) do something on anthropology, philosophy, psychology (all fascinate me) or journalism/writing. However, I reckon the best for me would probably involve hands-on creativity as most of the above pretty much belong to the realm of the rational, so some artistic skills would most definitely be a healthy balance. End of ra-ra-raaaamble. :)
hmmm what an interesting question. Well I studied accounting and it was okay. But If I had a do over I would probably do teaching. Teaching of elementary kids.
I studied English (Literature), modern Hebrew, a smattering of French and Spanish, and a bit of Linguistics. None of these studies led to a college degree unfortunately! To go back again...hmmmm, only if I could concentrate on what really interests me and not a lot of other courses required. So....what I'd really like to do is learn Italian, preferably in Italy!
I went back recently to study what I love, Environmental Policy. But I would also minor in art history and library science if I could do it over again.
I studied nothing - I hated school and only wanted to get married. Which I did at 16 - yes 16!! I would have studied music - my absolute passion in life......
I'm no longer married in case you were wondering - but it did last 32years!!!
If I could go back I won't change ( Fine arts and Philosophie)) but I Dream studiing more things as Langages (Arabian, English, Spanish, Russian, Japonese....) more photography, Archéology, Litterature ... this is a long long list... Art is long and life is short said the poet...
I have a major in English (lit+lang+his) and a minor in Modern History. I'm glad I don't have to choose again, because I wouldn't know what to choose. I'm just glad I have a degree which opens so many doors :)
Archeology... I studied education and Czech literature and language and ended up working in accountancy anyway. But if I could chose again it would be archeology.

i would, instead, have studies graphic design. . . do what you love, love what you do!
I would study something creative- photography, journalism, or then- languages. I have studied travel and tourism.

well i did spanish with an emphasis on literature. not sure i would change that entirely. i would maybe add writing and painting.
I think if I could go back, I would just start younger. There are so many opportunities when you are younger for you to take advantage of.
I would do literature. Or maybe just stick with counseling and double major so I could also do literature.
I studied history. I'd go back for art history or literature! I'm loving this series, Jane.

I studied French and English and loved it, but if I could do it all over again ....Archaeology. Or philosophy. Maybe I will just do it one day ...
I studied interpersonal communication and business. If I could do something different, I would do dental hygiene, photography or graphic design.
I went back recently to study what I love, Environmental Policy. But I would also minor in art history and library science if I could do it over again.
Would love to go hunting fossils, and maybe a bit of Anthropology, Archaeology as well.
I studied miller vs pabst beer. Just kidding! If I could it would be photography and design.
Are you having fun? Miss you!
I'd go to cooking school.
instead of business administration and political science I would go for archeology and anthropoly. Good question. left Spain last year, still miss it.
To be a gardener or graphic design.
I studied nothing - I hated school and only wanted to get married. Which I did at 16 - yes 16!! I would have studied music - my absolute passion in life......
I'm no longer married in case you were wondering - but it did last 32years!!!
Architecture, blacksmithing, and glassblowing. And I would still do ceramics. (I was a Business major).
I studied international affairs. I am thinking about graphic design or perhaps journalism (except my English teacher told me I was a horrible writer!)
I've studied Theatre at the university and i think I would study that again...
If I could go back I won't change ( Fine arts and Philosophie)) but I Dream studiing more things as Langages (Arabian, English, Spanish, Russian, Japonese....) more photography, Archéology, Litterature ... this is a long long list... Art is long and life is short said the poet...
PHOTOGRAPHY !
LANGUAGES !
ART !
I have a major in English (lit+lang+his) and a minor in Modern History.
I'm glad I don't have to choose again, because I wouldn't know what to choose.
I'm just glad I have a degree which opens so many doors :)
Anything related to art...
Archeology... I studied education and Czech literature and language and ended up working in accountancy anyway. But if I could chose again it would be archeology.
love to be a great, great but humble gardener. the one who can talk with the birds and remembers all the names of the flowers that bloom everywhere!
Art.
