thank god this thread hasnt been derailed by the rare few here that try to justify that a degree aint gonna get u anywhere and im making yada yada 6 figures crap cuz degrees are over rated. LOL
please create another thread about your success story on how u made it w/out a degree so those that arent in college can model their career path to yours.

Once the gf finishes up her RN courses and is a RN, I want to go back to get my MBA and turn my Econ minor into a major.

I may alter my course and just graduate with a BA in Psychology then focus on the research & stats side of things in grad school, just to save me 50k in living expenses and tuition from the double major since I can apply that towards grad school. At the same time, I think I would feel more accomplished if I get my BA in Math as well and enter a graduate math program. We shall see!
50k in living expenses? Did you include a coke and hooker alocation into your living requirements? How much of the 50k is tuition?
LMAO. I wish I had the balls to party like that. 61 units to compleye the double major, figure two years if I get lucky and can complet it by taking all the units possible in 4 semesters and two summer sessions, plus winter intersessions. Tuition would be roughly 20k including textbooks then living expenses. Rent in the OC isn't cheap and I'm mainly focusing on school so a part time job doesn't amount to much in the grand scheme.
out of curiosity, with a math major why not take that skill and get into the CS or engineering field? if math is your passion and you're specifically looking for that dream job that requires a math degree thats fine but seems to me that you'll have more higher paying options by pursuing some of the other fields that require a strong math base. by being strong in math, youre easily able to adapt that skill to other fields...shiet i took enough math to the point i was 1 or 2 classes short of a minor so i know.
i know quite a few ppl that are in both engineering and computer engineering and sw field that are doing quite well but not so many in math...just trying to understand the reasoning behind that decision.

I've got 4 more classes to be able to apply to x-ray and nursing school. I originally wanted to be a paramedic fireman but I decided that these were better for me. I also went to EMT school about 4-5 years ago.

Does anyone know how long does it really take to get a GE? I just started mine but im taking 18 units this quarter. Also would it be a good idea to take on my Automotive courses at the same time as my GE?

If I follow you, you're saying why math major versus computer sci or engineering major? My line of thought was the psychology major translates well when it comes to the interpretation/research methods/report writing side of statistics. I've searched postings for statisticians and data analyst/analyst and there are postings in varied industries (automotive, finance, health, IT) that are looking for candidates with MS in stats with experience of software for their respective field. When you say doing well, do you mean 100-150-200k incomes? With a graduate degree the base salaries seem to range around 70-85k or so and low 100s with a few years of experience.
I have considered engineering as math is nearly identical with the addition of physics and such, but my psychology degree wouldnt carry much weight. Feel free to chime in with any anecdotal experience (personal or friends)

If I was you I would take care of GE so you could get it out the way and won't be side track with automotive. In my college the total units to be done with GE is 35 units that's if you test good on the assessment test. I didn't do great on it so I had to work my way up because of the prerequisite shit. Started from the bottom and I'm still here. Check your college catalog or check with counselor

It would be ok to take an auto class while working on ur GE, at least you'll have one class ur really interested. It sounds like that's what u want to do and it's not a bad idea at all.
