I went to Weber State University for two years to get my associate degree. Now I am going to Brigham Young University this fall. I'm probably only going to take the pre requisitse that I was too stupid to take while I was doing the associate and kill tow birds with one stone. So probably a year of that, then back to Weber State University to get a degree in Radiation Technology and Diagnostic Medical Sonography. Hopefully through extension so I don't have to move back home, plus Weber's cheaper. I want to do ultrasounds on pregnant women or hearts, but that's only a certificate, but I want a bachelor so that's why I'm doing radtec. Well, that's the plan for now.

I'm currently majoring in communications (centering on audio). I would love to work in a recording studio, but when I start out I'll take whatever I can get that is at least somewhat related to that field.

college is a waste of time...doesnt really matter what you major in but rather how much money and the connections you have.

well, i was going to get into forensics, but i learned that i am too stupid to do that. so, now i am thinking of getting a double major in psychology and criminology. what i would do with that, i don't know. i'm thinking of applying into the forensic psychology program next year, so i have to get my marks up this year. and my school doesn't offer criminology and it is too late to transfer to the u of t campus that does offer that, so i may do that next year if i don't get into the forensics program. i am so screwed.

I have an Associate's and Bachelor's degree in business. My advice to you is to make as many connections as you possibly can. Get to know people in places and have your foot in the door. It's all in who you know.

College isn't a waste of time if you pick a field where there is a high demand for people, and is pretty specialized. But anything that is more vague...then yeah it's about connections.
Just out of curiousity Rob, do you have connections?

college isn't a waste of time, it gives you the chance to drink everyday, it gives you the chance to have so much random sex that you get tired of it, and most importantly, it gives you the chance to find the head cheerleader from the rival school you and your school hated so much and do her, so that you can take pictures and show all your friends, that way they can consider you a god amongst mortals. oh and it's also a good place to network and be "in the know"
majors:
Bachelors in accounting
Masters in finance
then.....something else (probably masters) in business law.

Music Industry Management
People in the industry in Canada think I am coming from an awesome program- just because it's four years long. Most of theirs take one or two years.

here is what the cours selction book says for students going into the 1th grade at my school
In grade 11, each NCAHS student selects a vocational major (Animal and Marine Science, Plant and Environmental Science or Diesel and Mechanical Technology). Within each of the vocational program majors, NCAHS students may choose to concentrate on specific interest areas. (aka your minor).
then it goes on to explain the courses

A specific area within a major isn't a minor. A minor is a set of secondary courses taken as well as the major. So, if you chose Animal and Marine Science as your major, also taking a few courses in Plant and Environmental Science would make it (P&ES) your minor.
It's just that your school is a completely different system than the college system, so it's hard to explain them as parallels.
