Graduated in December with a B.S. in Radio/Television, Broadcast Journalism. I'm still contemplating grad school, nothing for certain yet.
I wouldn't mind teaching for a bit either.
Congratulations, Arch! It sounds like a degree which would very much suit your personality, if I may say so. Which is an immeasurable positive since I feel there is no greater job, vocation or pass - time in the world than doing that which we love.
As for myself; after having completed a 1st Year of Biochemistry and Pharmacology with a specialisation in Virology... I decided that there was far too much Mathematics and Chemistry and not enough study of the Biological systems which I so loved. Also; that I could not envisage enjoying a career in science.
... which is when I discovered that the thing which I spent the majority of my free time investigating, researching and interacting with was actually taught at quite a few institutions under the name of Sociology.
A degree in it means I get paid for RPing and playing MxO IRL :3
Of this, I have just finished my 1st Year at a University here in Scotland, with which I am in love and about to spend the Summer working in my second home of Simcoe in Canada.
This year's subjects consisted of:
- Sociology. (Major. Personal focus on: "The definition of Sociology and limits to Sociological thinking" and "Contemporary Media and the Inherent Biases Thereof".)
- International Relations. (Minor. Personal focus on: "The theory and 'Real World' applications of the 'Balance of Power'" and "International Monetary Fund and the World Bank."
- (Transferred from Economics to) Anthropology. (Minor. Personal focus on: "Captain Cook and the interpretation of 'First Contact' situations." "Agreeability of the 'Original Affluent Society' theory as put forward by Marshal Sahlins".)
Although the standard degree of Sociology is not always considered as representative of personal capability or achievement in itself, I am hoping to take the basic Masters degree to Post - Graduate level and then onto either research or internship.
