re: What did Forrest Gump major in?

If I am correct, they never mention this in the movie. I think because he received a football scholarship and wasn't known to be the smartest person, it was left to be assumed he didn't earn a degree in anything significant.. It had no impact on his future, but I bet that frick never missed a class.

Yea but in the movie he got to play football for 5 years before he graduated.

Asphalt Technology at Auburn.

What did Forrest Gump major in?

Turfgrass Management

Maritime logistics

No. He doesn't invest in Apple in the book, and no he doesn't mow the field.

Go read the book.

ETA: He swears like a sailor, has 'tard strength, fricks Jenny constantly and is racist as all get out in the book.

Basically an OT hero. I dunno why the movie made him all caring and sensitive.

I always thought it was Microsoft..

Business Management.

He ended up founding a multi-billion dollar corporation after all.

In the book he flunks out after a season, I believe.

My first year in graduate school at UA I worked in the graduate school office in Rose Admin Building. Don't know why they called there, but people used to call and ask what years he was there.

Is this in the book? Seriously.. Because now that I think about it, it seems like him volunteering to take care of the field when he made it big was connected to that because he was offered the job, but he said he already had enough money so he just volunteered to do it.

I have no idea, I never read the book I just know that UGA has a Turfgrass Management program and if I'd grown up with a trust fund that's exactly the kind of stuff I would've majored in. Most of their students just maintain the playing surfaces for the different sports teams on campus. In the Spring, I've seen them hang out midweek at Foley Field and watch Masters Wednesday and Thursday on the scoreboard inbetween mowing the grass.
