People (including me) always say silly things like “I don’t know what to do with my life” or “I wish I had majored in something useful.” The majority of the time that’s false…and lazy.
Recently, though, I was thinking about what I would do if I could do it all over again, if I was just about to enter college.
Web design.
As information grows (Google reported 1 trillion different URLs in 2008!) the sites, companies, and blogs that win will be the ones with the best design (unfortunately that’s not me right now…). And the ones with the best design will continue to need the best designers.
Consider the top 10 (or 100 if you like) most trafficked sites on the Web. They all have great design and organization. And they all evolve. Well, except for Google, but they don’t play by the same rules.
What if you had to do it over again?

I definitely would not do Management Information Systems. I would do something creative (like Web Design, Graphic Design, etc). Not because I'm good at those things, but because I would like to be. Maybe a minor in something business-ish like Marketing.
I would have majored in Philosophy…although I'm not disappointed in Agricultural Economics.
Yeah you should have TKB
