Ooh, fun. I'm currently a sophomore in college--technically. The semester ends next week, and I've already registered for next semester, so I guess I can just call myself a junior. Regardless, I'm an English major, or a Literature major if you go by the official major name. Haven't taken too many English classes yet, though, which I hope to rectify by taking three next semester. So yeah, that's what I study.

I wonder how many English or Lit majors there are. I figure we'd get a tonne of them.
I am currently a student, on my final semester as an undergraduate, and am a Biology with a concentration in cellular and molecular biology. Currently, I'd like to become a doctor, but as to which one I don't know, that's what third year is for.

Lets see. I'm a freelance artist, meaning that I work on a commission. Ive done everything from character concepts, to book covers, to digital paintings, to comics. I also dabble in cel shading, and am currently hoping to score a storyboarding gig to add to my portfolio. I also do websites and graphics on the side, and am currently working on a movie poster for an indie film. As a personal project, I am working on an original manga series. Its currently unnamed, but it is a 1920s noir supernatural detective story.
As far as schooling, I am entirely self taught in all of my endeavours, though I hope to one day get a degree in a field that could allow me to switch between animated work and comics. When I did go to school, I majored in English and minored in computer sciences. Unfortunately, life got in the way and I am a few semesters short of a degree.
Not that I mind though. Art has always been my passion and I am lucky enough to do it for a living.

Pretty diverse crowd so far haha. I actually just finished my freshman year in college so I guess you could call me a sophomore, and I'm majoring in Computer Science. It's a LOT of math, and programming/theory.

*tries to grab some of Zombi's awesomeness* I'm a first year student in Physics and Chemistry (I'm not too accustomed to the word 'major' so I'll keep it simple), but I'm failing because of my laziness... and the house I live in is full of distractions. I used to be a med student, but failed my first year twice for the same reasons. So... I love Science but am not good enough for her (I know medicine is different from Science with a big S, but my two first-years were mostly scientific and I really sucked at all the social stuff). I'm stepping up now though ;D... so, there. *bows*

(you guys rock)
I am currently a freshman, studying at University in the city (NYC). I've registered for fall classes, so I'm technically a sophomore now (time needs to slow down). I haven't taken any major classes yet, but I am working toward a degree in English and American Literature. I want to minor in creative writing and hopefully also minor in east asian studies. My goal is to become a better writer and to leave college with a fluency in chinese because right now (wo hui shuo zhong wen, ke shi wo shuo de bu hao) hahaha.
My other passion aside from writing and chinese is acting. This is actually what I'm hoping to do with my future (going to begin taking some classes in the city), but we'll see how that goes haha.

This sounds fun. I recent just graduated with my Associates in Specialized Business from my local two year college. I started all the work to go back to get my Bachelors in Business as well, but I'm thinking of having a double major in Psychology, haven't decided yet. I plan on breeding snakes for a living, or, get this, totally awesome idea; All you can eat....TACOS. We don't have one here, and to be frank, everyone likes Tacos.

I went to school last year majoring in Equine Riding and Training (aka teaching ponies not to kill me) but dropped out cause 90% of it was stuff I had already learned from working with trainers and frankly I was just burned out on school. That being said, totally awesome experience and I don't regret a second of it.
Right now, I'm working as a master groomer at a dog grooming shop (not certified, just again got hands-on experience). Hopefully within the next couple of years, my fiance and I will be opening up a gym and I'll go back to training horses and teaching riding lessons. My goal is to either train off-the-range Mustangs or miniature horses because have you seen how cute they are, really.

Currently studying Criminal Justice, as I want to be a federal LEO someday after school and the military. Though ever since I've joined the Fire Department and have been working on my FireFighter 1/2 I've been really considering swapping out my major for Fire Sciences/Fire Fighting. Though, it's unlikely at this point and at the rate I'm going I may need to drop out of the Fire Department till things get a little less hectic in my schedule.
As for jobs I, well- volunteer at the Fire Department! I already have my EMT-B license so at the moment it's mostly running ambulances. It's fun enough and I love serving my community and helping others but very time consuming and I won't say it isn't stressful now and again.

Occupation-wise I'm about to start working as a waitress at this tiny little Mexican restaurant. Exciting, huh?
School-wise, I'm about to begin my sophomore year in highschool. Kind of looking forward to it, and kind of dreading it. I'm going to be taking AP World History, AP English, a language class of my choosing (it will be online, and I'm leaning towards either German, Spanish, or Latin), along with various other classes that I care less for. Upon graduating highschool, I'm leaning towards an occupation that deals with Criminal Justice, preferably, but I've been considering joining the military lately some time out of highschool or after my basic years in college. I've got a few years to decide, but I'm keeping my mind open to the possibilities. I'm also interested in some careers that include biology, metaphysics (not sure if there's a job in metaphysics that would pay more than zilch though), and psychology.
But we'll see where I stand in two or three more years.
I teach a summer-fall community class based primarily on meditation, energy manipulation, and alternative education topics; and I also play music for a Baptist church part-time.
