The topic is pretty straight forward.
What do you study, or what did you study?
Heck, what are you planning on studying?
I shall begin:
I studied 2 years of political science, then switched to logistics management
-
I'm still in high school right now, but I want to go into aerospace engineering.

I am currently studying psychology- mainly abnormal psychology.
on the side, for my own amusement, I am trying to learn Chinese and I spend a lot of time reading about different cultures mythologies.
-
Studied HAVO (countries second toughest high school)
Decided I wanted to become a mariner, and went to maritime school (lower)
Decided it was a huge mistake, and quit.
I am now awaiting a selection procedure, to hopefully get on the police acadamy (in the Netherlands). And, if I don't make it there, I'll be finishing the HAVO, to do something with technology. High-voltage electrotech, CNC machiner, or maybe I'll go study biology.

Great choice I must say

I have an Associates in Veterinary Technology. Sadly, no one in the area wants to hire someone who isn't already working in the field, so catch 22 strikes again. As far as personal studies, I study into Egyptology, especially the mythology of the pantheon. I also study wolves as they are my favorite animal. I will look into taking online or community college courses in early childhood education.
-
In high school right now.
Graphics Technology, Visual arts, and Chinese.
They're currently my electives.
I really do want to get more familiar with STEM but oh well.
-
Just finished a HNC in Countryside Management with a Merit and CS30, but jobs in this industry are hard, so by this time next year if I don't have full-time employment i'm gonna go to university to study Mental Health Nursing ^_^
-
I have an associates in accounting. Will continue that someday. In mere months, I'm going to be learning how to kill people :D (going Marine Corps infantry and going to attempt Recon, the Marine special forces)
-
Currently have an associate's degree in liberal arts. Mostly got that just to have some sort of degree. As for a serious one, I really enjoy history and culture, especially medieval and earlier Europe. It's not a very lucrative field though. Neither is art, but I don't need to go to school for that, imo. I already study history and mythology on my own time.
I'm considering library science so I could be a librarian/historian or work in fields like that.
-
I plan on becoming an archaeologist if and when i go to collage, so right now it's everything history.
-
I informally study linguistics, and I've dabbled in the study of HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts), which I'd like to do more of, but I'm out shape, strapped for time and money, and kinda lazy.
-
I spent a couple years studying computer science. I'm kinda certified since I passed this high school class and got a certificate from it. Now I'm a business major learning about the wonders of law. It's more interesting than you might think!
-
I have diplomas in Mathematics, General Science, Human Anatomy and Physiology, and Statistics.
I've taken GCSEs in Maths, English, Religious Studies, Additional Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, French, and Geography.
I'm taking Biology, Chemistry, and Maths for A-Levels.
-
I have a degree in software development but it is dated. I plan on going back to school for for graphic design.
-
I plan to attend a community college with focuses on Psychology and performing arts. I may or may not also pursue Graphic Design since I seemed to have a knack and pleasure for it in High School as an actual arts credit.
-
I studied veterinary technology back when I went to college, and took some game programing classes on the side. Ended up amounting to nothing since after I got my degree, I spent a year applying for vet tech jobs, only to be told that unless I was already working in the field a year, I couldn't get into the field even at an entry level position. And my internship wasn't counted towards that apparently.

@ Rob_Silvermyst
That really sucks, I am so sorry. What are you planing to do then?
@ Bricket
Primary: Computer Science - specializing in programming, graphics design, and Unix / Linux operations.
Secondary: Mesopotamian Theology - primarily Christianity, Judaism, and a little Sumerian. I also intend to read through the Pyramid Texts and the Book of the Dead after reading through the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Self taught in most of these areas, though I did attend "Networking and Internet Specialist" in Collage.
I really, really would like to learn American Sign Language one day.
-
I've studied lots of things!
First off, I have a 2 Bachelors degrees, one in Computer Science and the other in Physics.
In Physics my main interests were Quantum Computing, but I also studied Quantum Mechanics, Condensed Matter Physics and General Relativity
In Computer Science my main interest was Algorithms, but I also studied programming languages, theoretical computing and Design.
I've also studied simulations, especially biological ones, as well as Neural networks, Discrete Mathematics, Calculus, Linear Algebra and Vector Calculus.
My overall number one interest of study though would be Quantum Computing.

@ anoni, it's funny, I had already suspected similar based on your avatar alone.
-
I have an associates in accounting, plan to continue that someday. I have 4 weeks of Marine Combat Training scheduled starting in late January, followed by my MOS school. Still haven't been given my exact MOS.......
-
I've just started learning robotics.
Just started: I'm on the 9v power unit. But eventually it will be a basic line-following robot that uses basic comparators.
I've also enrolled in a robotics class on Instructables (https://www.instructables.com/class/Arduino-Class/) to learn about the Arduino controller.
-
Degree in video game design and studying 3d animation with communication
-
I'm a major linguistics nerd. Sometimes I translate things for fun, and I study advanced topics such as classification of consonants, vowels, or sometimes I make constructed languages. I also make languages for people with specific requirements or teach people how to make them. Linguistics is fun!
-
Woohoo! Language nerd high five!
-
Business Management, Computer Science, and Information Systems.
-
I'm muddling through my third year of political science. My interest has suffered and I wish I would have changed majors earlier, but I'll just have to finish up. Hopefully I can worm my way into law school. :/
-
I studied carpentry but I wasn't for it at all, I spend 3 years just to proveme I can get a degret.
since 5 years I was out of college ,I have done many littles job s*** to pay the bills .
I want to pass some education , whatever it is at least as I can site on a computer in lieu of doing physical jobs and hurt my body a little bit .But I want to be an artist on the side too , at least to enjoy a bit of life of mine.
I think it's juste the begining of a long and hurteful road that await me.
-
I plan on going for something in history, most likely european focused or religious. I would love to be a history teacher or an Archivist... creative writing I could definitely see as a minor.
-
Well, I'm in middle school, but when I go into college I wanna do something with art, I forgot what its specifically called but its when you do marketing/sales art, so like animating stuff and illustrating children's books.
-
Formally, I have a BA in English with a minor in psychology.
Informally, the four main branches of my intellectual pursuits are Literature, Psychology, Biology, and
Anthropoloy. Those are the four main lenses through which I observe the world.
Specifically, I look at everything that doesn't happen to me as a plot device. E.g, Everything is going normal,
something disrupts the routine, the people involved strive to return their circumstance to homeostasis, then
something disrupts that, everyone tries to restore their surroundings in a way that will enable them to return
to homeostasis, then THAT is disrupted, etc... Within these disruptions, any individual might uncover a solution
that will bring some restoration; after all, this process happens in both microcosm and macrocosm. Ultimately,
though, nothing is static. Some vessel of opposition will always turn up.
My psychological lens involves the symbolism within the world, and the discrepencies between the individual
impacts they have on multiple people; the symbols themselves are, I daresay, fixed. The ideas they represent are
not. Within the separate minds of the people who encounter them, there is at least a slight difference, albeit
one whose measurement depends entirely on the honesty of the person reporting it. Invisibilia's Season 3 episode
gives the example of black bears in a rural Minnesota town: Are they a brutal, lethal menace, liable to maul you
should you get too close, or are they a widely misunderstood sweetheart who's supposed inclination to attack can
be easily circumvented with the proper respect?
Less pronounced but still present is my Biological view of things. We're all trapped within the bones, blood and
organs we are born with, and most of what we experience is shaped by their function. Ever wondered how strawberries see the world? If individual trees have personalities? What a holocaust among bacteria would look like? If fungus could afford to be picky, what would inspire it? Whether or not Daffodils have free will? Actually, I've never wondered any of these things, but I like the way they sound now that I've typed them out. Gonna post about O. Henry's "Tale of a Tainted Tenner" in the "Odd Book" thread after this.
Then there's my interest in Anthropology, which is pretty much a culmination of the aforementioned lenses applied to mankind, specifically. I like looking up some specific region's cultural backstory, what environmental factors sculpted the social factors, and what social factors sculpted the scope of individual personality.
I got carried away in describing this. I'm not really studying at the moment, I'll do that when Autumn rolls around. But yeah, that's what I go and read up on.
