TV Production.......Now work in Sports Broadcasting. Wish I hadn't have waited 7 years after HS to get into it!!!!!
Bachelors of Arts in Liberal Studies (studied Applied linguistics, Arabic, Middle Eastern studies, History and Art) Masters in TESOL. Just got done teaching English in Morocco on a Fulbright scholarship, currently living in Italy on savings. Enjoying life. Regrets: ~60k in student loan debt.
You can't write "HCP" in Arabic because 1. there are two "h" letters, so which one would you choose? 2. there is no "c" and there is no "p." However, if I remember correctly, "HCP" stands for "Hispanic Causin' Panic." There are a couple of problems we need to address before doing a translation, however. Firstly, "Hispanic" refers to someone from Spain in Arabic. So, in this translation, you are from Spain. Second, this form, using a progressive verb as a modifier in a noun phrase, is not found in Arabic. So, the direct translation is going to look like "The Spanish (person) who causes panic." So in Modern Standard Arabic, it would be الإسباني الذي يسبب الذعر "al-isbani aledhi yusebbab adh-dhe3r" A couple of note on pronunciation: 1. "dh" is pronounced as a voiced "th," as in there or these. 2. The "3" up there is the way you can write the "ayn," which is an Arabic letter which represents a sound not found in English. Think of it like the dramatic "A" sound you would make while doing a bad impersonation of Arnold Schwarzenegger yelling something.
الإسبانية يسبب ذعرا = Hispanic causing panic, or technically panic causing Hispanic As for school, I have an MBA in sales and marketing, with a minor in foreign studies I hate sales, but I am damn good at it. I make a comfortable living, but if I had to do it all over again I would probably start young as an apprentice in a plumbing or electricians shop and then after 10 years of schooling and becoming a "master" plumber, open my own business, and be my own boss. Move to a small town where I only need to make 30-40k to live on and be happy
I have two bachelor degrees in accounting and marketing. I'm currently a tax accountant. I like it and all, but I kind of wish I did computer science instead. Ah well, if the shoe fits right?
Degree in biology. Work as technical writer/editor in biotech company. Regrets? First, that I fiddled around with at least 8 majors before settling on what really should have been an obvious choice based on my interests/talents. That I took too long to get into biotech after graduating. That when offered a choice of 2 jobs, I selected the one that looked better, and they permanently wrecked my health, making my employment choices much more limited so it took until I was over 50 to finally get a good job.
I majored in English Literature (literally, a degree in reading). I started my career doing technical writing for the tech industry, and now I'm Business Intelligence Systems Analyst dealing with the reporting of data for a major shoe company in town. In between I've done tech support, software quality assurance, project management, and a couple of stints at the unemployment line. I have two regrets: one, that I didn't take school more seriously after 7th grade (I coasted from 8th grade through college, barely trying hard enough to pass). And two, that I also managed not to have nearly as much fun as I could have in college, despite barely showing up to class. Basically, I was so inefficient at slacking off that I regret slacking off, which is just insane. I gotta say though that being able to sell my English degree as a sort of communications degree has given me a lot of opportunities to shine if I apply myself. Any degree can do that if you're clever enough to talk your way into an opportunity.
I majored in poon tang, minored in Old Milwaukee, and apparently took some classes and got a degree in something or the other. Then I got an MBA after getting married, so I was fairly serious about school then. Worked in the corporate world for 11 years, and spent 2.5 years doing consulting on projects, and just got hired back in a managerial role in a company that I worked for previously because they made me an offer I'd have been crazy to turn down.
I'm not quite finished with my degree, but I have a buddy who has a bachelors in theater arts and he delivers groceries
Like I said earlier about the plumbing. I have several friends working in the service industry, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc, that all make over 100k a year
Majored in Political Science and Mathematics. Now I am an attorney. Regrets: I really enjoyed undergrad at a small school, but wish I had attended a big Division One school for law school or undergrad or something just to have that experience. My wife had a job in Portland so I just went to another small school for law school although I could have gone to USC if I was more mobile at the time. In hindsight I wish I had explored doing something more creative. I always thought of myself as a left brain person, but now crave a lot of right brain outlets like creative writing, theater, and playing guitar. Also I wish I had taken the opportunity to study abroad or do something interesting between undergrad and law school.
Majored in Accounting, minor in Administration of Criminal Justice. Worked at a CPA firm for years and now am Controller/Ops. Manager for a wine company (I say wine company because I oversee the financial operations of a few different companies, all different pieces in a puzzle, and only part of the picture in a very big wine portfolio). My biggest regret: as much as I partied, I still didn't party enough. And I wish I went to class more because I'd say I had a 35-45% attendance rating (Hey, I still graduated with a 3.60). Oh, and no student loans remain. I paid most from working through college, and the small loan I had was just paid off.
I'm still dicking around in Community College, but i would like to major in history. Problem is i hate the idea of teaching and don't see a whole lot of jobs for it otherwise. Computer science is also a likely option.
I feel ya man. I love history as well, especially Roman and Greek with a sprinkling of Colonial. The problem is that you really only have a few options for a career when you finish and teaching is one of the big ones. I didn't see the point in teaching if I couldn't teach at the college level and that would require a doctorate..... fuck that. You might like Geography though. Human geography is very similar to history. I would recommend checking it out.
Major - Electrical and Computer Engineering Career - Software Engineer Regrets - I have alot of regrets in life, but none that relate to my schooling
Undergrad - Double Major in P&A Physics/Mathematics Law School - 3rd year specializing in Corporate and I/P Career - Either living in NY or CHI as an associate. Still up in the air with that. Regrets? Should have spent a better part of college investing in some of the shit my classmates have created/started. Few of them are multi-millionaires and one is already retired at 25 after selling his company a little south of $100M. Crazy shit. EDIT: Film School would also be badass but I was waaay too much of a poon to go down that route.
