I have many friends with the same or similar degrees.  Some are in politics, some are foreign aid workers.  You could also couple it with a business degree and go into international business.  Really it is the beginning of many possible careers.  What interests you; travel, helping people, making money...?  I myself and most of my friends are spread all over the world.  The degree is just a stepping stone or a way to get you foot in the door.\n\nFYI...Even most of the "do-gooders" (foreign aid workers) and business types who left college with your background are preparing for a future career in politics.

What is it that you like to do? You are a senior and you still haven't declared a major yet? What are the majority of classes that you have taken? Do you enjoy this subject? You should provide us more information so that we can help you. Do you have any idea of what you want to do after you graduate?

Depends on what you want to get out of it.\n\nIf you are being strictly crass, then go for a professional major that seems to have a glut of graduates right now. By the time you have your degree there will be a demand again because everybody else is majoring in the fields that currently need people, and in four years there will be a glut there.\n\nIf you are speaking of the true value of going to college, then major in what interests you.

YES!!! East Asian Studies is a great major. Japan and China are both East Asia, as well as the emerging power of South Korea. I highly reccomend you do it - but only if it really interests you. I also suggest that you choose a specific nation ( I recommend China) and learn the language. With those skills you will go far in the business world. You can work as an international liason or in a diplomatic post, or work for an international corporation as an interpreter or an executive. The sky is the limit!

What do you want to major in depends on what you like and would like to do the rest of your life. If your entering college, there's no law that says you need to have a major straight away when you enter - start taking the general requirements everyone has to take - see what you like and what you don't and go from there. You can also always give different majors a try. Do you like science? Maybe you could become a Biology major. Do you like working with people? Do you want to teach? Try an education major. Do you like the Arts? Do you like Music? If you do, become a music major. As you can see, there is so much you can do - try a variety of things out - and slowly you'll begin to see what you like and don't like.

There are so many choices.  You should really consider what your goals are.  Like the Cheshire Cat said to Alice, (I'm paraphrasing) "If you don't know where you're headed, it doesn't matter which road you take."\n\nIt seems like one thing to consider is whether the study abroad program will help you accomplish your degree goals.  That depends a lot on what your major is.  You can start by talking to the advisor in your major department.  After all, you don't want to spend all this tuition money on a study abroad unless it will help you do SOMETHING.\n\nYour school might also have a study-abroad office that has worked with students from your major before, so you should definitely talk to them too.  They can make recommendations.  The school might also have programs that are designed to help students from your school specifically.  Those are good to check out, but they are not the only options.  There are also grant programs that help students pay for their study abroad.  For example, a program that helps students study in Germany is the DAAD (www.daad.org).\n\nIn my case, I looked at my upcoming situation in the summer of 2002 and said, "I've been studying Spanish for a year, and I have some money and time.  Why don't I study in a Spanish-speaking country this summer?"  I searched the 'net for study-abroad programs and ended up making contact with a small university in Mexico City.  They helped me find a family to stay with while I was there (I paid rent for the room and breakfast) and I took classes at that school.  It definitely gave me the experience I was looking for: strengthening my Spanish skills and getting to know Spanish-speaking culture.  So, in my case, I feel that I had a successful study-abroad experience that I was able to arrange on my own and not through the school.  I'm quite a risk-taker, so it wasn't scary to me to do this on my own.  However, if you go with a program from your school, it might be a little more familiar.\n\nOn the other hand, as a friend of mine commented, if you go with a program from your school, you spend a lot of time with people from your school, unless you're willing to branch out and meet new people on your own.\n\nAlso, I have to admit that, going on my own to Mexico, I probably spent at least as much or more money than I would have spent with the pre-arranged program.\n\nI'm studying German now and I am thinking of going abroad next summer too, so obviously I had such a good experience that I'm willing to repeat it.

About the only thing a degree in English is good for is teaching.  If you enjoy teaching, and like English and Literature, this is a good fit for you.\n\nYou might consider journalism or communications along with an English minor, or make it a double major to open more fields to you.  \n\nIf you enjoy languages in general, you might pursue a course in foreign languages.  The FBI/CIA/NSA pay big bucks for certain languages now, such as Arabic, Russian, and Chinese as well as many others.  You could also work as an interpreter, book translator, and many other jobs .... and of course, you can always teach with this type of degree.\n\nYou may also consider taking a lot of creative writing courses with your English degree and become a novelist, short story writer, and/or poet.\n\nThere are many opportunities for someone in the field of language.  What I tell my daughters is to figure out what they really love to do and choose that.  Money is important, but if you are going to work 40+ hrs a week for the rest of your life, you should be doing something you love.\n\nGood Luck!\n\nSue

If you want to travel, then you should think about international marketing.  I am currently working in this field, and it can require a lot of travel.  an International Business degree would get you there.  Or you can specialize in a field that you like, but its the business degrees that make you the money.

My crystal ball cannot predict what academic majors will have the most career potential, no one else can either. Just do what interests you the most. College is a waste of your time if you do it only to get a career, you're more likely to enter into a field unrelated to your major. Learn to bullshit, no good bullshit that will actually convince someone.

You can select the different types of jobs similar to the different departments in the hotel like customer service, event planning, food & beverage jobs which would come easily for you. While others like accounting and sales would still require you to have a background in that field.\n\nYou could also switch to the travel industry and be a travel agent, be part of the airline industry be it the cabin or ground crew.\n\nThere are many opportunities with that course and it's still up to you to decide what you like best and stick to that one department or go all out and aim high by taking up the post of Management In Training in a hotel.
