I go to a community college at American River College. It's part of the Los Rios District out here in Sacramento. Major is Undecided, but I'm almost done with general ed. So far it's been the best decision of my life that I ever made, and also it's going to be a great investment of my time.

Returning student after 3 1/2 years at CSU Fullerton. Psychology and Math double major, focusing on data analysis (think heavy stats).

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!

You only get out as much as you put in. If I simply show up to class, complete the X amount of units required, walk that stage and run out diploma in hand I won't get very far. This is why its important for students to get as involved as they can in extracurricular activities that will help them network and build experience so that you have a resume to work with once you graduate. It makes the school experience stressful as all hell, but I see it as me having to do all I can to ensure all the effort is worth it at the end. Another reason why I feel the extra two years' effort for grad school is negligible when it comes to having an advantage over the remaining years of my adult life.

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.

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.

---

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
