If you could go back and choose a different college major, would you?

I majored in biology and minored in chemistry in order to go to med school.

I'm doing well and I enjoy my life, but I always kinda wish I would have chosen a different path. Every time I drive through a national park, I think I would have enjoyed being a park ranger. Being outdoors, studying nature, low stress life.

I know it'd still be the same major, but if you could go back and choose a different career, would you?

I'm degrees in construction management and make a good living. I'd either be a pharmacist or physical therapist if I could do it over again though.

I'm a physical therapist. There are times I think I'd have liked to have done something else, and times I think I was meant to do only this. I think everyone goes through that no matter what their profession is.

Doctor or commercial airline Pilot.

Oh well, posting on the OT while operating on someone or landing a plane, just wouldn't be the same.

Currently majoring in meteorology. Too far along to switch. If I could I'd switch to math education.

I'll probably skip college. College has slowed me down a bit.

Amen Hammer. I'd skip college, learn a trade- welding, electrical, plumbing- then go to college later if I REALLY wanted to. And I'd go for something that really turned me on.

I don't mind my current path, but sometimes I wish I could leave my work at work like some of those in direct patient care. I think I could have been a PT, OT or Pharmacist and be happy with that, but ultimately I'm good with my path.

If we're talking a pipedrean I could be a guy who rents out kayaks on Oahu

Got a degree in Finance and minor in Econ. If I could do it over again I would double major in MIS or just bust my arse and get a 4.0 so I could get into grad school

If I started over, probably Industrial Engineering.

I've thought about going back to get my masters in Org Behavior. I'm fascinated by leadership theory and decisions made by companies and their effect on performance.
