    I have a very healthy (unhealthy) electronics engineering hobby (whole room dedicated to it.)Work is general labor garbage. Also love programing and math although not very proficient at either. Was in the army like 20 some odd years ago did some electronics stuff.

    What do you study? I am currently pursuing my Masters In Business Administration with a Concentration in Accounting.
    What is your major? My Bachelors is a Bachelors Business Administration in Accounting


    And...
    If you work, what is your field of work? I work as a Tax Accountant for the third largest firm in my state. I generally work on 1065, 1120, 1120s, 1040, 1041, and very few 990s. After I complete my Masters I will be eligible to start my Certified Public Accountant studies and pursue the CPA license.

    I'm studying animal care in college! I'm currently in my second year. Once I leave college I want to work in a zoo or an exotic pet shop / rescue. I also want to breed invertebrates (specifically insects and arachnids such as spiders, scorpions, etc.) as a hobby.

    BUMP!!!
    EVERYONE WHO HASN'T ANSWERED PLEASE REPLY!!!! I am interested to know more about everyone's study. If your study has changed, please update that too!!

    More on me~~~~

    I am still studying pre-med, but my other degree is in Ancient History with a minor in Hieroglyphic Egyptian. I am going to use these degrees to do a Master's of Research in Bioarchaeology! (The study of human remains in an archaeological context). My focus will of course, be Egyptology! It's a great way to combine both of my passions :) My favourite units this year are all my Hieroglyph ones!

    My field of work currently is in the Medical field :)

    Updates!?!?!

    I earned a B.S in biochemistry with minors in biology and Spanish. I initially intended to attend medical school, but then realized I didn't want to throw my twenties into the garbage chute. So I decided to become a different kind of doctor.

    Immediately started in graduate school after my B.S. I earned a MA in anthropology, and am about to be ABD in my PhD. Though I am in an anthropology department, I can tell you very little about cultural things, beyond what I have to know to teach the 101 class. I study hominin fossils from about 2-3 million years ago and describe myself usually as a paleontologist or evolutionary biologist, not an anthropologist.

    To transition from a biochemist to a paleontologist, I've taken courses in graduate school in archaeological theory, geomorphology, stratigraphy, and the like. I thought my "different" background would be a detriment, but it turns out having someone along who understands developmental biology and epi-/genetics is actually quite useful. I've learned a lot, informally, about 3D printing and scanning, R, and some other niche software along the way.

    I've taught college courses and do a lot of research in museums. Field work is a large part of my discipline as well, but there is currently political problems in the country our field site is in, so that's a no-go for now. I also volunteer my time at a women's shelter run a small business.

    I got lucky, in all ways, that what I'm pretty good at, what makes pretty good money, and what I love is the same thing.

    I dropped out of school mostly because my perscribed medication was not working well. I went from being interested in almost everything to hating everything pretty much equally. I'm going back in summer and finish computer science degree then I'll be able to get a director level position at my dad's work (eventually). Right now I'm working there part time writing automation scripts for who ever needs them but today I called in because I honestly didn't feel like working. Bye

    stop this is actually so impressive... really happy for you!
    a bit of shifts in this !! ^^

    what do you study?
    currently a high school junior! graduate next year in june 2024 so that's kind of nerve wracking..! i am currently doing ap bio/chem, ap seminar (capstone), and ap language! four APs in one semester :upsidedownface:

    for those who don't know what AP (advanced placement) is: in simple terms, it just means undergrad university-levelled curriculums, tests, exams, and content in high school!

    if you are planning on studying, what do you plan on studying?
    i am shifting my focus from medicine to comp sci. not only because medicine is hard, it's quite hard for people to get into med school in canada, expensive, and way too long, but it is my backup!

    i am leaning towards computer science primarily because i find it quite fascinating. i've completed an intro to comp sci class this year, and i'm doing ap comp sci in grade 12 for an extra boost. i found my intro to comp sci class really fascinating, and made a bunch of neat stuff using java, and i've done some minor html/css coding on the mineverse forums, and minor python coding for a bot. not a lot of "big" stuff in comparison to others, but i don't really care and am interested in furthering my knowledge. :')

    what is your [planned] major?
    computer science :')

    what is your [planned] minor?
    either something medicine or psychology related, or criminology related!!

    what are your plans after graduation?
    if i complete and achieve a bachelor's in comp sci, i plan on either going for a master's, or working in a company while doing some projects on my own!

    what subjects have you been really enjoying this year? any particular units?
    ap seminar --> no units but i really enjoyed writing my paper! it focused on women's reproductive rights in america and i really enjoyed writing it as it was a topic with a lot to discuss about!
    ap chem --> i enjoyed learning about quantum numbers :disguised:
    ap lang --> no, but i liked writing my essays
    ap bio --> genetics is so fascinating.. punnett squares, chi squares, mono/dihybrid crosses, really fun!

    any subjects you hate or really dislike so far?
    nope :)

    Wow it has been a while since I've been on and a lot has changed! Last time I played, I wanted to be a teacher (Young kids aged 5-10). Now, I'm studying building surveying - making sure that all buildings and structures meet the requirements of codes, standards and laws. Crazy how things change!!!
