Editor’s note: The following post was written by our friends at CollegeCandy! Before you click over to read the second half, know that some readers found some of CC’s content/ads to be non-work-safe. Thought you should know to avoid any surprises. Now on to the post!
College students
You meet a million people in college. Or so it seems as you go from dorm to class to frat party, seeing thousands of new faces along the way. How’s a busy college student to determine who she’ll like or who she’ll want to avoid?
Well there’s no better instant-indicator than judging someone based on their major. Sure it’s a stereotype and sure it’s not always right, but as most college students can attest it’s usually pretty accurate. So step into our judgmental world and check out our ultimate major translator. You’ll have your entire campus figured out in no time!
1. Psychology Majors
While you ponder thoughts of entering the Peace Corps or consider switching your major for the third time, the rest of us are wondering what exactly it is you do. Your love for learning exceeds those in most other majors as you willingly subject yourself to graduate school to study the things most of us never think about, much less are able to pronounce, like the prevalence of psycho-social determinants in sexual motivation and behavior. Even if you spend your days walking around campus with your hand resting under your chin in a pondering pose, no college campus is complete without you.
2. Business Majors
Congratulations on finding the happy medium of social butterfly and book smarts! You may spend your weekdays rushing through campus halls in your suits for your class presentations, boasting about Excel spreadsheets galore, but on the weekends you throw down harder than Greek Row. You buzz around college-sponsored soirees mingling and schmoozing with future employees and it all pays off when you’re banking upwards of $80,000 a year after graduation at J.P. Morgan. You work hard and you play harder, but then again you’ve got the cash flow to do so.
3. Engineering & Computer Science Majors
You do realize everyone thinks you’re going to work for Facebook after you graduate, right? If the thoughts of working at a Facebook office complete with a ping pong table and gourmet cafeteria isn’t enough, you’re lucky to have stumbled upon one of the few majors in which you actually get paid for your internships. And whether you plan on working for Facebook or not, we’re all secretly a little jealous of you.
