BS in Chemistry figured I could get a job or go to grad school if I didn't get into Med School. Plus I liked chemistry.
Got into Med school.
Wouldn't change a thing.

did Marketing, going back to finish Finance
Whats everyone's thoughts on the Business Administration degree with emphasis in Marketing versus a Exercise Science?
what about grad school?
What does one do with an Exercise Science degree?

Physical Therapy, Athletic Training
Well it really seems like it would depend on what you want to do. Though, FWIW I know a few recent Business admin/marketing grads who are stuck working in call centers.
I did Pre Med, BS Biomechanical, then spent a summer volunteering in Israel at a field hospital and visited family. I saw too many children decapitated by IDF sniper head shots. I saw too many Palestinian roadkill squashed by IDF tanks. I was accepted into Med school and turned it down. I went to work with a frat buddy in mechanical enginnering. I should have studied that.

Entrepreneurship Undergrad, now I am getting my MBA right out of college. No regrets so far.
You studied Entrepreneurship and staying in school to get your MBA? Pretty risk averse for studying Entrepreneurship.
I don't get why people get their MBA without any work experience. Well, I don't get why people get a MBA unless you get into top schools and plan to work for Fortune 500 companies.
B.A. in history with an endorsement in secondary education. Taught 1 year got laid off due to district downsizing. Now have been looking for another teaching job for almost 2 years.
Going back to school in the fall...
B.A. in Kinesiology. Took a couple years off and I'm currently in grad school for physical therapy. I wish I majored or got a minor in biology. You can't find a decent job with a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology or exercise science.
BS in Molecular Biology/Biochemistry. Then 4 years towards a PhD in Moleculer/Cell Biology (cancer research). Found myself in a bad spot in several ways, no way I was going to be able to finish in a reasonable time and I had a new wife to support and a family to start. Left with an MS, went straight to an MBA.
This set me up well for my career, but in retrospect I wish I had gone to med school (with some research on the side) rather than PhD. It would have opened some additional interesting options for me and bumped my pay a bit.
college professor teaching exercise science (physiology, biomechanics, nutrition); doing my own research. THE best job in the world.
I would disagree with those who say you can't do anything with a BS in exercise science. I do say it's better if you continue to a terminal degree, but a BS in exercise science is a great preparation for PT school, since most PT programs now are doctorate (DPT) programs.
I did an undergrad degree in economics and a master's in city planning. If I could do it again, I'd still do the undergrad in economics, but I'd switch up the master's degree. As I went through the city planning program, I really started to become interested in real estate development. It is really a pretty closely related field and I've been able to find work in RE dev, with my planning degree, but if I could do it again I'd do an MBA with a real estate emphasis instead. That would set me up to work more in the financial side (the planning degree set me up more to work in the permitting and site planning side).
Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)
I should have just stuck with the BS.

Currently majoring in Business with a minor in Economics. Looking to get my CFA after school is done. Anyone ever go down this route?
Yeah, I did this. CFA is a good plan if you end up in a job that gives you time to study. Pretty tough if you end up in ib. CFA is particularly good if you didn't go to a great school or are stuck in a bad job.
If you don't mind me asking, what software do you work with?

BS and MEng in Mechanical Engineering (Consecutively). Got a M.S. in Computer Science 12 years after my MEng.
To the person who is a mechanical engineer and wants to do computer science, you still can. Look into CFD/FEA stuff... I turned into a software developer because of that...
If I had to do it all again.
Either change major to applied mathematics or keep mechanical engineering and either have went for a Ph.D in Applied Mathematics or went back to get my MBA after I worked for a couple of years.
Actually was deferred admission into Yale business school for two years right after getting my MEng. Didn't go however....
Almost finished a BS Kinesiology.Transferred to run at an all business school, got a BBA in Entrepreneurship/Management. Wish I would have finished my Kinesiology and continued in Sports Psychology and Physiology.But I do enjoy the business knowledge.
Undergrad- Microbiology and genetics, chem minor.
Grad- Finance/Econ
Would probably study applied math, engineering, or geophysics now.
BA in Environmental Studies, minor in Studio Art.
If I could go back, probably Exercise Science/PT or go to Med School.
Though I still have time to get my MA/MS in whatever.
