What are your 2015 graduates studying in college (career path)?

[Mickeyluver37]

Marine Biology. Right now the long term plan is vet school.

 

[Donnainnj]

Tourism or hospitality management with the possibility of business minor. My older daughter started with criminal justice, but decided it wasn't for her. Now she really has no idea.

2016 HS graduate DS. History teacher, as of now. Grades in HS aren't that good, well, except for history (highest scores), so we are hoping DS can get into our community college for the first 2 years, then transferring to a state 4 year school for a 4 year degree. Snowfake is smart, but hates school, ever since elementary.

Good luck to all with the kids through college!

I have 2 in college and one that graduated last year. The one that graduated last year is still making pizzas and living at home, but he did have an offer for the fall we hope works out.

My oldest DS is a Jr in college majoring in international business. He works for the federal government part time and is also a part time police officer so he hopes to turn one of the part time jobs full time when he graduates.

DD just finished her freshman year and changed her major the last week of school. She was a athletic trainer major and said one day in class she couldn't see herself doing this for the rest of her life and changed her major to business. She does have a great job lined up in business for the fall so I hope she likes it.

Actuarial Science, but I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up in Finance.

We have one who just finished up his second year majoring in Chemical Engineering. Our other just graduated last weekend with an accounting degree and is eligible to take the CPA exam. Not sure if he's going to work for a while or jump in and start studying for the exam.

I just finished my freshman year in college, and I was a Finance major. But I am transferring schools, and I'll be studying accounting at my new school.

DS is graduating next week. His college major will be biochemistry, you can't be undeclared at the school he will attend. I am under no illusions that this cannot change, however!

 

[unhinged]

Just returned from graduation. DS will be going into Aerospace Engineering. My other son graduated with a degree in ChBE.

My 2015 graduate is getting her degree in Communication Disorders and Sciences this June. She plans to take a gap year, and then go to grad school to be a speech language pathologist (which is what I do for a living as well).

I have a 2013 graduate. She is majoring in Health Sciences - hope to continue to grad school for Occupational Therapist. I also have a 2014 graduate. He started out doing Sports Management but switched to Business Management.

Occupational therapy is a wonderful field with so much opportunity--where I am, there are more jobs than applicants for all allied health therapists (speech language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists). My daughter considered getting a Masters to be a teacher to the deaf, but has seen how much flexibility I have and has decided to go for that. Being a therapist today is like what being a nurse used to be--openings pretty much everywhere in a wide variety of settings.

She wavered back and forth for a little while between speech therapy and occupational. She could have made the switch over to speech and language but decided to stay the health sciences track(pre clinical). This covers pre reqs for pt, pa, pre med ot maybe vet and dental so if she changed her mind and wanted to pursue one of those in grad school she could. I am pretty sure she will stick with ot - as she has started to do some internships and volunteer work for her hours for grad school. We have heard that the ot field was a good choice with lots of opportunities

My DD plans on getting a degree in kinesiology. Evidently you can do a lot with that. We will see!!

 

[cepmom]

DD is majoring in Occupational Therapy as well

DS19, graduated high school last year, had applied and was accepted at New England Institute of Technology for Electrical Engineering. At the last minute he decided that he didn't want to go to school but wanted to go the Electrical Apprentice route and is now working for an electrical company doing just that. But over the last few months I've heard him say that he doesn't know if this is the path he wants to take. He mentioned something about going into carpentry, which baffles me 'cause I don't think I've ever seen him even pick up a hammer. LOL So, we'll see where it ends up in the future.

DS18 graduates next month from high school. He's already enrolled at the community college for the fall. Taking some of his basic, general classes to get them out of the way. He's told us that he wants to get into Computer Science. Whatever he does do, I'm sure will be with computers though.

 

[IDoDis]

My 2014 graduate is majoring in Biology with a pre-med emphasis. She has a long road ahead of her. She will be shadowing a doctor for the first time this summer.

 

[Mrs. Ciz]

DS will be a first year (a freshman) at UVA in the Fall. He has been all over the map major wise. He DOES know that he wants to go to Law School after college. He has considered and abandoned majoring in Math, Engineering and Political Science. Now he's thinking about majoring in Finance. I think he will be the type that needs to take a couple of classes before he finally decides what to major in. As long as he finished in 4 years, I will be happy. I only have 4 years paid for.

My daughter graduated high school on Friday, and plans to be a History major with a concentration in Public History. Her goal is to eventually work in a museum as an archivist or researcher, but we'll see how that ends up. She likes being other around people too much to be somewhere in the bowels of a museum, so I suspect she'll wind up doing something that involves working with the museum-goers more. Whatever she winds up doing I know for sure it will involve history, because the girl loves to learn historical facts and share them with anyone who will listen. No matter what she winds up doing I'm just happy that she's chosen to further her education, because I didn't get an opportunity to do that at her age and I still regret that.

Mine is a 2016 but she plans to take ballet. A teachers training program. It has 100% job placement coming out and she will be certified in 2-3 different types of ballet pedogree. They only take a few each year and have a 1 week audition process.

 

[StitchBuddy]

My DD will study Kinesiology this fall. But, she isn't yet sure which career path within it she will take.
