What is your Perfect Major?

Interesting that I was stretched between maths, engineering and philosophy, but I think it's pretty accrurate. Proof I didn't waste my time at uni studying something I don't like :)

    I think the word ’studying’ to describe your university attendance is a bit of a stretch, don’t you? :)

    I think what he means is on the odd occasion when he was “studying” (1 hour before exams) it wasn’t a waste of time.

    The rest of his time at uni definitely wasn’t a waste of time ;)

    On a side note, looks like I got it right as well:

    Chemistry - 100%
    Mathematics - 92%
    Engineering - 92%

    Very interesting quiz, these are my top 3 career choices (assuming CS is a mixture of all three)!

    I started doing the quiz, then I realised the answers you’re meant to give are to obvious and I wrecked it for myself. It’s like the career aptitude normalising test, (or CANT), the kids on The Simpsons do:
    “If I could be any animal, I would be (a) a carpenter ant,
    (b) a nurse shark, or (c) a lawyer bird.”
    “I prefer the smell of (a) gasoline, (b) French fries, or
    (c) bank customers.”

    Some of them are pretty transparent and just make you cringe, but even though I didnt study some of this in undergrad I did in postgrad. Science Communication is the right choice for me, given it doesnt exactly fit their pigeon holes.

    Sociology - 100%
    Mathematics - 92%
    Psychology - 92%
    Anthropology - 83%
    Biology - 83%

    Good God, I would probably end up with ‘Theater- 100%.’ I should start practicing, “Would you like fries with that?”

    Miss you, mate.
