I've continuously toyed with the idea of being an attorney, but I don't truly belieev I'd be happy with that profession. Far too greasy. Money, yes, but too much bickering and nitpicking.

I've always, always, always loved flight. I love aircraft, love flying during vacations, love being up in the air....and I'm getting pretty good at doing it myself on FSX . I know that flying a sim is nothing like the real thing, but I feel like flying aircraft is something that I really would enjoy doing every day.

So my quesion is, how many of you changed your major/profession plans after spending some time at college?
I remember hearing that the average person changes their career about five times now... As to what to take in college, do what you enjoy. You'll figure out how to make money off of it later. I've been out of school for almost a year now, and am in the "figure out how to make money" stage of things now. Lucky me, I now have a job I enjoy where I can support myself well enough and still take the time to say...learn a programming language or start writing seriously (both of which I am in the process of). And good on you for not being a lawyer just for the hell of it. This nation has more than enough of them.

I was a poli sci major as well, btw fatty.

PD
