Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 4277904, member: 6696"] Totally anecdotal, but I've always heard accounting is the way to go over business administration or finance. And FWIW, I know tons of former English majors who went to law school, business school, etc. and are doing very well for themselves. I am definitely a proponent of the humanities if a person is realistic about their ability to cover the costs of college. I think hard sciences probably pay off more than humanities in the long run. But I'm not sure majors like psychology, business, etc. are worth it for many kids. You insight here is really interesting from the inside. Thanks for sharing all this. My fiance went to Appalachian State before transferring to UNC after a year.... whole family is from south of Asheville near the Georgia border. Everything I've heard about this school is that it's actually fantastic value. Tuition is like 5,000 a year. Kind of like CCSU--you can make a really great career for yourself out of the school, especially if you're staying in the area. That's the thing with all of this. You can make a hell of a grad school admissions resume or make solid connections in industry basically anywhere you go if you apply yourself. I know a rich guy who went to Harvard that flunked out of PhD school and drives uber now. Plays guitar in crappy bars at night. And I'm marrying a girl who grew up in a trailer, has no mother, her entire family is felons, then went to Appalachian state, and will have a JD from UNC and a PhD from Yale in a few months. Obviously the odds are stacked against kids in a certain position... but never say never. [/QUOTE]
