You went for girls and ended up spending 95% of your time on a message board?

Went to college with the intentions of being a cardiologist. Wound up with a Petroleum Engineering degree instead

Went for the white women in tiger land, left with a bunch of useless credit hours, an entrepreneurial spirit and a hangover.

Pretty sure most of us went to college intending to do one thing and leaving with another...

I went into college as a landscape architecture major. Left as a Political Science major and I am now in a JD/MPP program.

VERY different trajectory.

Went in thinking I'd come out with a doctorate of Pharmacy, came out with a master of Health Informatics. I don't regret it for a minute now, I had much different feelings 4 years ago, though

Not really. Most law students couldn't cut it in the real major they picked then ended up with something useless like poli sci...leaving no viable alternative but a JD, MPP, or JD/MPP. Did you talk to anyone before doing the JD/MPP? Had a friend that did it because they flunked out of the JD program and it was they most efficient way back in.
