6. What is your degree? Bachelor of Science in Mass Communications, Public Relations

9. If you had to go back to college and change your major, what would you major in? International Relations.

Then I transferred when DH and I got engaged and dropped the International Relations major. I think I would have really enjoyed that line of work.

Good idea Madelyn!  I have found myself feeling nostalgic as well as this weekend marks 10 years since I graduated......

1. What year did you graduate high school?1998

2. Did you go to college? 4 year university? Community college? Something else? I went to NDSU - 4 year university

3. What was your major in college? Minor? Microbiology, minor in Chemistry and Food safety

4. When did you graduate college?2001 - one of the youngest graduates at the ripe age of 20!

5. Did you attend and walk in your college graduation? You bet your butt I did, I worked hard for that!

6. What is your degree? BS

7. Does your degree correlate with your current job/career?yes and no.  I thought I wanted to work in a lab - epidemiology or something along those lines, but I ended up doing Phase I drug research towards during college and was able to get a much better paying job continuing that role....

8. Where was your college graduation ceremony held? At the Fargodome

9. If you had to go back to college and change your major, what would you major in?I would definitely do nursing.  I wish that I could go back now, but it is hard with my travel schedule.  It is just so much more flexible then what I do now.  If I had a nursing degree I could still have ended up doing what I am doing, but I could have gone into a clinical setting too and not have to travel....  Also, I could have gone back for NP, etc.....

It is graduation day here on campus and since I have quite a few student workers graduating, I'm watching the live feed from commencement. Ahh...so nostalgic

So..that has inspired a poll!

1. What year did you graduate high school? May 1995

2. Did you go to college? 4 year university? Community college? Something else?  4 year university- University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign... home of the Fighting Illini and inspiration for my screenname.

3. What was your major in college? Minor? Major in Accountancy.  No minor.

4. When did you graduate college? May 1999

5. Did you attend and walk in your college graduation? Yes!

6. What is your degree? BS in Accountancy.

7. Does your degree correlate with your current job/career? It used to a month ago.  I worked at a Public Accounting Firm from June 1999- April 2011.  DH got a new job in July 2010 and we moved from Springfield, IL to Indy.  I continued to work for my employer and drove back and forth every weekend.  During busy season (mid-Jan to April 18th) they let me work from home in Indy preparing and reviewing tax returns.  DH and I agreed that I could be a SAHW then SAHM if IVF #3 worked... otherwise, I would begin the job search in Indy.

8. Where was your college graduation ceremony held?  A gymnasium.  There are multiple ceremonies going on around campus simultaneously so they put different college ceremonies in different locations... the college of business was in the gym.

9. If you had to go back to college and change your major, what would you major in?  To be honest, I always thought about being a dr as a kid.  When I started freshman year of college, I didn't have a major and took half business classes and half science classes.  I would probably major in bio or chem and then have gone to med school.
