I thought this could be fun. What is your degree in? In hindsight do you wish it was something different? If you haven’t gone to college but could, what would you major in?
I have a Bachelors of Fine Art in Fashion Design. I took 5 art history classes to get that degree and looking back now I wish I had switched to anxart history major. Or I wish I had a home economics degree from a conservative Christian school 🙂
If I had unlimited money and time I would always be taking classes. I love learning, especially if I could do them not for credit, just to learn.
I’ll join! I have no degree just a high school diploma. If I could go to school I would do something with accounting I love math and numbers I could do it all day!
I have a Bachelors in a Piano Pedagogy. I taught piano for many years at one point seeing 90 kids a week. When we began homeschooling I dropped down to15 students and taught only on Mondays. As those students quit for whatever reason I never replaced them.
I love learning new things, too. I’m always adding crazy things to our lives like the library and the farm. My mother-in-law calls them my “schemes.” 🙂
Robin, I have a board on Pinterest called “homesteading…one day” I think I like the idea of ot more than the actual work of it. I thin it’s the idea of a “simpler time” ha. I have always loved the Little House books and I love the idea of that life.
I’ll play! I have an A.A.S. in Fashion Design and a B.S. in Textile and Apparel Design. I’m happy with my choice though in hindsight I should have done my focus in textiles instead of apparel. I also did everything assuming I would be working in the industry but I wish I had known to have an emphasis on learning how to turn my skills into an small business that I could do from any location. I’m sure I still could do that, but it just seems intimidating!
I have a BA in Global Studies with a concentration in international economics, European history and European languages. I have about 3/4 of a Ph.D. in Political Science, concentration trade theory. I am not sorry at all, even though I’ve never earned a dime from any of my schooling. It broadened my mind, made the “room in which I set my feet” much larger. I have “formed relations” with so much of the world that I cannot imagine ever being bored. I was able to give my children a broad education. I am a firm, firm believer in the widest, most ambitious education possible for future moms; there is so much out there to know and love and pass on to our children!
I have a bachelor’s degree is Biology and a Masters in Healthcare Administration (like an MBA but with healthcare specific electives). I only used the degrees for 3 years before becoming a stay-at-home mom. I have no regrets, especially since I met my husband in college.
I have a BA in political science with an emphasis in Third World Studies. I was going to law school…then I decided to be a stay-at-home mom. Then I learned about this weird thing called homeschooling. I don’t regret any of it.
I am two courses away from a Bachelor’s in Music Education, K-12, one of them student teaching. I had jaw surgery & couldn’t sing (voice was my major instrument) for a year or two, so I dropped out of the program. I had decided by that point that I didn’t like the looks of public education (and that was before I became a conservative Christian or had kids of my own or knew anything about home education!), and they have since added a course that I would have to take & I feel like “I’m too old for this” at age 54.
Believe it or not, I was sort of passed along as a very mediocre student (yes, even at the college level) largely because I was working as a staff assistant to the music college administrator. Funny thing is, though I still love music, love singing, and don’t regret my college years, I have spent most of my time in office administration, training and overseeing others in various offices.
If I could go back to school (and I want to after the kids have graduated from high school), I would study Library Science.
I have a bachelors of science in Children’s ministry with a minor in family ministry. God told me to get these and long story short I work part time at the church 🙂 it helps pay the bills but I can still homeschool
I have a bachelor’s in Marketing, and minor in Accounting. I said I’d never do sales, but actually got a great job for 18 yrs. that allowed me to do very minimal pt work after kids were born for some great extra $$ from a long term client (until my company decided they wanted a ft person to build the area up a few years ago…now I’m happily just homeschooling:) I don’t regret it, but kind of wish I would have studied something to do more w/ministry or psychology. Fun topic!!!
When I was in high school, I was very interested in missions. I went to a Bible college for one year taking classes in elementary education, but I was more interested in getting married and having chldren than getting a degree:) I do not regret the latter, and being a wife and mother will aways be my highest calling here on earth. We can all look back and think ‘I wish I would have done this or I wish I would have done that’. But, I have to remember Philippians 4:11……”for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content”. Wisdom comes with years. As all of my children are grown except for one, I am just thankful I can still be homeschooling my youngest dd right now. I want to teach her exciting things, but what is most important is that she grows in the nurture and admonition of our Lord. We don’t need a degree for that. My deepest desire is to be where God wants me to be. I don’t believe at age 52, it will be going for a degree. If the Lord allows it, I hope some day our family can take a missions trip to help in an orphanage. If I would do anything more than what I am doing now, that would be my desire. But, for now, I am content to be a homeschool mom:)
This is fun!
I have a BA in English Literature with a minor in History. My work since graduation includes: working for tee shirt design company in New Orleans; working for a craft store in New Orleans; working as a registrar at Florida State University in Tallahassee; working as an administrative assistant in the educational conferences area of FSU; working as the director of meeting planning for the Florida Medical Association; starting up and running an organic bakery and cafe.
Regrets? Yes! If I had had more confidence in myself I would have studied Science. I love it and find it endlessly interesting and challenging. I was always told I was not smart enough to study anything that required math skills. My siblings all look a lot better on paper than I do and my family is pretty competitive about educational successes. So, I never even thought of the Sciences.
I sometimes think of getting my MLS while I’m homeschooling so that I’ll have some skill after the kids are gone and I need to work to pay for their college expenses. That or win the lotto! Lol.
I know that after working for myself it would be very, very hard to work for someone again. It’s great being your own boss!
I love reading about everyone! I have a high school diploma and a few college credits. When my children are all grown up I want to get a library science degree and be a librarian. 🙂 I also plan to write a few homeschool curricula.
I want to go back to school to learn natural healing/herbology/nutrition and such. And I want to run a living books library and/or used bookstore. But I also want to be the grandma that always comes to visit and maybe even homeschools the grandkids! I’ve also thought about writing children’s books for all those topics we can’t find good living books. Perhaps I’ll just do them all.
