Forums - General - What do do for a living, goal in life or currently going to college for?

Currently a business analyst.

The only college education I have is an undergraduates' degree in ministerial training. Odd how that works, eh? I do volunteer as a youth pastor in my free time, but it seems the BA is a pretty worthwhile career.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

i'm a student who does a paper round once a week

My life goal is to travel around the world and see everything i can

I don't really know about a career goal though, anything so i can achieve my life goal I guess. but i'm going to university either next year or the year after to do a History and politics degree probably, so i'll see


If you want to travel around the world I would suggest another university major ...

A History and/or Political Science degree will open no more doors in your career than a high school diploma will, and you will have difficulty getting a job that will provide you with the income necessary to travel.

I'm doing that degree because i enjoy those subjects, I haven't thought about anything past that in terms of a career as i have no idea what job i want

For your first year (or so) it probably will not matter, but I would suggest majoring in something of value ...

If you enjoy these subjects take a course in each subject every semester and use them to fill up your options (or put them towards a minor) but the world is full of baristas with degrees (often masters degrees or PHDs) in subjects that have little value in the workplace.

Thanks for your advice, but i would rather do something i enjoy like history even if i don't get rich than have 3+ years of hell and a career of hell, in something i find boring like law. No offense but i couldn't do that sort of job. Learning about law and the supreme court for 6 weeks in my politics lessons at school was boring enough, yet alone a life of it. The only other thing I enjoy doing apart from history or politics is cooking, but I don't think I could work in a restaurant because it seems like such a stressful job.

I worked my way through school and have 15 years professional engineering experience at 33 years old. I have a masters in computer science and am working on my PhD part time. I am a sr. software engineer at NASA. I would rather work in the private sector where I spent the first 11.5 years of my career but I wanted to move here and this is it.

 

I also moonlight at another NASA center part time and do consulting work for a couple of outfits in California.

What? Lots of poli-sci degree jobs in the DC area. It opens the door to diplomatic or military liason between various political offices type jobs. It's not going to get you a just just anywhere, but it isn't a bad degree to have. I think if you want to live anywhere health care is the only option.

I just want some money to travel, I might or might not move away from my home, London. I guess I just need to look around for things in future, there seems to be many opportunities anyway
