It's 2:22 and our first feeding after a 2 1/2 hour stretch of sleep. I have yet to be asleep though. Walker is now fighting sleep.
GTKY-
What was your major in college? How many times did you change it?
If you didn't go to college, what was your first job? Did you like it?
I majored in social work, minor is psych. Never changed it.

Re: MOTN check in and GTKY
I majored in accounting. I had an undeclared minor in management and graduated being 1 class short for it to have been a declared major (learned too late to get that 1 class).
Business -> child psychology -> social work. Never finished though. Started getting sick, couldn't keep up with school and job (part time car mover for national rental car.) while on dialysis. Didn't work for 2 &1/2 years. Couldn't walk for about a year of that due to a staph infectiom in my right hip prothesis. Started working to cover bills about 6 months after transplant. Worked in video game testing for six months. Couldn't find a job until the following February, which is my current customer service/exit security for rental car company out of sea tac.
I'm kind of a mess.
This is long for my GTKY: I started out as a bio/pre nursing major and was in a 3-2 program where I would get a bio degree from my college and a nursing degree from Hopkins all in 5 years. Turns out I wanted to enjoy college, as I was also captain of my swim team, so I decided to switch to Bio-psych in middle of junior year and just have fun before applying to nursing schools for after graduation. I basically fulfilled the major requirements for bio-psych due to my nursing prereqs, and it got me out of a bio- majors only research class where you did a 1.5 hr presentation... that I realllllly didn't want to take. Win, win for me! I went to University of MD for nursing, in which I actually have an entry-level graduate degree. I also minored in Spanish.
ETA: wording
I double majored in political science and sociology with a minor in Asian studies. I entered college as an international relations major so only a slight change. I changed to graduate in 3 yrs vs 4.
Up for our first feeding at 3:00. Had a bottle at 9pm and has been sacked out since then. Working on falling back asleep now.
My first major was agriculture communications and I switched slightly soph year to add a secondary major of agriculture education. I am one if the rare people who actually still have a job in my major 15 years after graduating. Love every minute of it!
I majored in nursing at Penn State...never changed majors...although in HS I was deciding between nursing and teaching I now get jealous when teacher friends get weekends/holidays/summers off, I didnt think that one through!! Benefit of nursing though is I work a very flexiable PT schedule and I love what I do!
I was a music performance major in college with a minor in math. I taught flute and piano lessons for about 10 years and loved loved loved it. I love teaching. But it's mostly part time work w no benes so then I went back to school and got a masters in environmental mgmt and then another masters in civil engineering. Now I work as a hydrologist for the USGS. It's good work but I miss music and teaching.
I was a pasych major and never changed. Then got a masters in social work.

I majored in Psych, but I knew sophomore year I made a mistake. I felt like I was too far into course work to change, and just stayed with it. I took animal science classes my senior year because I finished my BA early, but I never did anything with that. I'm starting classes this spring to go to nursing school
I majored in business. Never changed it, but during pre req classes, contemplated changing into law..same pre req classes, so no real change.
I majored in criminal justice for my associates. Had big plans, but now that Luna is here, I don't want to join law enforcement anymore. I plan on going back to school and am debating between neuroscience and business
My major was drama education and I bloody loved it, we had such a laugh every day, , and we were probably your typical drama bunch. There was only~16 of us.
I first majored in Communication Arts until I realized the school I went to mainly focused on journalism and pr. I wanted more of the graphic design route, so in the middle of my sophomore year I transferred colleges to another liberal arts college that had a graphic design concentration. So I ended up majoring in Art and had a minor in Art History. I had enough art history classes for it to be a major, but couldn't take some of the other required courses like western civ, etc to make it official.
Major: business (marketing)
Minor: French
Never changed it
Anyway, I began at a community college and received my AA and then transferred to Central Michigan University to finish my BA. The degree plan was teaching > early child development > community development.
I started my MBA in Healthcare Management at Western Governors University three weeks before I got my BFP, so I'm still in school right now. And woefully behind, I might add. Fortunately, much of the content I have left in this term is work-related, so (and this will likely be my FFFC) I'll be doing a lot of homework when I go back to work next week.
My major in college was Elementary Ed. Got my BA but decided I didn't want to do it after graduating. I worked for a science museum for a few years per diem and retail because I needed benefits. Eventually, retail sucked me in and worked in mgmt for 10 years or so b4 I became SAHM. My first job was at "Cheap John's". It was kinda like a mini big lots.
