Majored in Biology/Psychology (undergrad), wish I had majored in pharmacy. Eventually worked halfway through an MBA when we owned our own business, finally ended up getting an M. Ed., and currently am an elementary teacher. Love what I do, but really wish I had stayed with my original science/medical path.

I also have a M.Ed in reading. My undergrad is in speech language pathology and audiology. However, my favorite classes by far involved physics, specifically astronomy. I wish I would have pursued that further, but I got a lot of "what will you do with that?" comments which made me second guess myself. Don't get me wrong I love my job, but I still have a true passion for science.

The one I got. English. Possibly not doing the teaching certification series concurrently, though. That took up a lot of time I'd rather have freed up to have devoted to more literature and writing classes.

I majored in Economics as well and I wouldn't change it! I wish I had been more present while in college, but that has nothing to do with my major.

I majored in chemical engineering and then education. If I had a do over I would have majored in computer science. Chemical engineers are a dying breed and working in education sucks. Good jobs seem to be computer related these days.

I have a BS in Elementary Education and a MA in Reading and Literacy.

If I could go back I think I would enjoy a Public Relations major.

I can go back at any time and there is nothing in the past I would change.

I would have majored in education or law. Education because it's what I ended up in and I could go further if I had the right degrees, but it's too late to do it all over now. Law because it was still a good field at the time and I could have been an awesome lawyer and made a lot more money or maybe done something really useful like work for the ACLU.
