College Major - Grad Interview - Mike
 
WHAT DID YOUR COLLEGE MAJOR DO FOR YOU?

Questions for:
Mike, Wesleyan University '99

Q: What was your major in college?

A: Economics.

Q: Why did you choose it as your major?

A: It eemed right at the time--it was fun and I was good at it.

Q: Were you happy with your choice?

A: It's always easy to look back and say you would have done things differently. I have no regrets, but if I could do another four years of college I definitely would not study Econ.

Q: What did you end up doing after graduation?

A: Teaching adult literacy and performing music.

Q: Did your major help you or hurt you in your search for a job?

A: Neither--it has been largely irrelevant.

Q: Did your major give you the skills to succeed at your first job?

A: I believe Wesleyan in general gave me skills I needed to succeed. I'm not sure anything specific in my major was a big contributing factor.
