    Hey everyone,

    I am just curious, on the connection between college majors and jobs. Feel free to reply with what your major in college was and what job you hold now.

    Thanks!

    Most majors in sciences require you to go to graduate school for a masters or PhD to have a decent paying salary...

    Majors are made to give you background information on that subject so you can get trained and work for whatever career you end up with.

    I'll reply on behalf of my brother
    Agricultural Engineer - Now a quality engineer for a large manufacturing company

    I bet about 67% of college grads work in careers related to their major
