What major should i choose if i want to research cures for diseases?
The first thing you need to do is prepare for medical school. However, only two in seven applicants to a US medical school are accepted. Therefore, it is a good idea to take an undergraduate major which leads to an alternative career if you are not accepted by a medical school. Many pre-med students find a biological engineering major or similar engineering major to be ideal for them. You might also consider chemical engineering. I discussed the M.D. track and not the Ph.D. track because you "want to research cures". To do that in a clinical setting an M.D. degree is much more useful. A Ph.D. in a biological science can lead to a position where you concentrate on basic scientific research which is then applied by M.D.s in their clinical research.
What major should I choose?
Hi, my name is Kevin Rivas and I'm planning on going to community college and transfer to a University but my problem is of choosing my major, I know it's kind of my decision but I really don't know what to do. Since freshmen in high school I wanted to be an Mechanical Engineer or Computer Science, are exiting careers, innovating and thinking to help others and our future is something really awesome. But sometimes I just think that it would be to hard for me because I'm actually not that very smart, or well, a little but I think I'm not enough smart to study en engineer career and I started thinking in studying Culinary Arts, I know... such a drastic change but since I was little I really enjoy cooking and having that feeling when people enjoy your food, is amazing. The thing is I already apply for that major (Culinary Arts) and I don't know if I'm making the right decision, sometimes I just think I can do something more important like studying an engineer career... but I keep thinking that I'm not good enough, but what if I am and I make the wrong decision in not studying that? AHHH :C!
If you are talking about something like a 4 year program or bachelors degree, I think the Computer Science route is still probably your best bet. While there are a lot of avenues to learn programming these days, there is no substitute for a good solid computer science foundation, especially if you are wanting to go into development yourself.That being said, native mobile development is done (for the most part) with 2 languages.iOS development uses a language called Swift.Android development uses Java.While you can approach mobile development by using other tools and languages, these are the two native languages used. In most cases native development is going to deliver a much better product due to its ability to really leverage the hardware and OS features. At Touchtap we pride ourselves in developing using native technologies for both iOS (Swift) and Android (Java) BUT there are instances where using a hybrid method for development can be useful. It can save time and money in the long run, especially if your app is not complex in utilizing device hardware.
What major and minor should I choose?
If your plan is eventually to get an MBA, then avoid business majors at the undergraduate level. MBA programs accept students in any undergraduate field. They prefer students who do not have a business major because they give you the business training but they cannot provide the broad background that managers should have. The best majors are in the sciences, engineering, or math, but other majors are also suitable. Any field of endeavor can use good management. The reason for avoiding a business undergraduate degree is that it results in too much duplication with the MBA and leaves you with a narrow focus. On the other hand, companies hiring MBA graduates are looking for those who earned the MBA but can also communicate with the scientists or engineers that they have to manage as they advance in their jobs. Petroleum engineering is a good choice as is computer engineering. MBA programs prefer students with 2-4 years work experience after the first degree. Some accept students right out of college if they have good grades and a high GMAT score. Some MBA programs are designed specifically for new college graduates without work experience. But in those programs you don't get the benefit of learning from other students who have work experience. A lot of valuable learning takes place through class interaction. Also when you graduate your job offers will be about the same as a business undergraduate gets because you have no work experience, and you've been two years out of your undergraduate field so it's hard to get work in that area. As to what people in various professions do, you can research on the Internet.

If you want to be a vet do a job shadow that is the best way you will find out if you want to do it or not work there for a few weeks, deciding what you want to do in college can be difficult especially when you come out of it and you are disappointed to find out the career you spent the last 4 years studying for wasn't everything you hoped it would be. If you want vet go for biology, anatomy classes. Make sure you also enjoy chem, physics and math b/c you need a B.S. which those you must past to get it. Good luck

Don't get cocky just because you are going to get your undergraduate with a major and minor. Trust me, take it from me when I say there is nothing special with a undergraduate degree unless you are graduating at the top of the class. The work force is so much more competitive than what it was a decade ago so an undergraduate degree EVEN with a major and minor is pretty devalued and you will either have to accept a lower paying job or further your studies to some type of designation, masters degree, or internal compay learning. Hate to break it to you but I was under the same impression that I was going to get a big fat pay check handed to me when I graduated but BOY was I wrong. You have to make yourself distinctive from all the other people you graduated with. Now generally Major and Minors do add value to your undergraduate degree but they are just basic add ons which show that you have understood the basics of that part so if you are really serious about learning something show your future employers that by taking a chosen stream (Specialization) and not major and minor in ONE specific area. I will be honest and say that accounting, mathematics, finance, and economics. (highest salary to lowest) will pay very well after a year or two in your job. Accounting and Finance is very much in demand and you will find a job easily. Also these specializations are not easy either so be prepared to do some work. Hope this helps
I knew from an early age what I wanted to become, but there are some like yourself who doesn’t know what they wanna do which is good. It’s really good you are asking questions and not remaining quiet which is excellent!Now take 2–3 deep breaths and think about what fascinates you, what makes you be curious about something, what makes you want to do that thing over and over again. Like for instance, if you like maths and science, you might like doing maths and science questions over and over, and that fascinates you. This might lead you to do engineering, like when I was 17 I was fascinated about how things are invented and work, how electricity is distributed to millions of house and much more!!! I was always curious about how things were invented I would take things apart put them back together to see how they work, so this curiousity of me made me chose engineering and I totally love it!!You have to think the same, what you like doing, what makes you not bored. Also talk to some universities about their open days so you can go and explore the courses available, see which one interests you and talk to current undergrad students.If a time comes where you have to pick a major and you are lost, take one year off, just make sure you go into something you enjoy doing, not what others tell you to do like your parents or for the money…Good luck
I currently work as a UX/UI Designer in a design consultancy with both designers and developers.Firstly, it is possible to learn anything if you are motivated enough, but I think it would be wise to pick the path of least resistance.UX/UI Designers usually design how a software behaves and look in addition to making sure it matches the user’s needs, but they typically don’t do any/much programming themselves.In smaller companies like startups, they might want so called «unicorns» that can do both design and implementation, but from my experience those people are often mediocre at either, because it’s almost impossible to be amazing at both as they are deep and complex fields requiring different skills.Therefore, it is generally better to have experts who are very talented at their respective fields that can work together. In other words, it’s better to have a great designer together with a great developer, with each also having some insight into the other field for good cooperation.Computer science and human-computer interaction will teach you many useful skills for becoming a developer, but since your aim is to become a designer you will lack many of those skills if you pick that path.True, some design skills and theory can be learned by reading books, but I’ve yet to meet a top notch designer who hasn’t studied at a design school. Few things can compete with a focused environment of learning for years directly from experienced designers, together with other passionate students dedicated to the same craft.So what are good design fields to study?Many UI Designers have a background in graphic design, which will give you a sharp eye for designing desireable graphical user interfaces. However, many graphic design programs don’t focus on digital design or user-centered design, which can be a drawback. Furthermore, in the future other User Interfaces such as Voice UIs may gain further importance, which may reduce the importance of visual/graphics in digital design.Another good option is Interaction Design, which I personally majored in. This kind of program is focused on technology and humans, and how they interact, which gives an excellent foundation in usability, aesthethics, working with different interfaces and design methods like user insight, concept development and prototyping.
