Recommended Majors?

[Dynasty]

Study and work in a field you love.

The money can be figured out later.

I have worked for Perot Systems, and EDS here in Dallas.

Don't ask me why, but a decent % of our executives have degrees in Psychology.

I personally wouldn't major in it, but it'd be fun

Yes, listen to Dynasty, I couldn't emphasize this enough. Once you get a degree, it will be very easy to find a job that will provide you with enough money to make a comfortable living. But it will be very difficult to find a job you truly enjoy. I wasted a good 2 years right after college at a job that I dreaded every day just because it paid decent money. Now I make considerably less, but am a lot happier.

Don't jump into a major just because you think it'll make you rich, or because you think it'll make it easier to find a job. Things tend to work themselves out if you pick a field you're truly enthusiastic about.

This was my gameplan. But I guess I was kinda freaked out by a recent thread about engagement rings and one poster who insisted that any ring less than 10k indicated that you were not financially stable enough or prepared to get married. I definitely want to get married and support a family somewhere down the road...so this kinda spooked me. I'm just overreacting.

That's insane. I spent over 7k and everyone who knows what I paid (only a few people) think I am nuts.

If I was going to college now I would probably major in economics. History and statistics are both interesting to me as well and both of these have strong associations with economics. It is also a degree that fares better in the job market than a typical liberal arts degree. You will probably have to take at least one economics course as part of your general education requirements. Maybe you'll find it to be a good fit.
