What was your major in College?

Cultural and physical anthropology. I dabbled in geology for a few semesters as well. So of course I went into the Army and ignored my love of science 
It's always interesting to hear about people who changed their majors. I went into college knowing exactly what I wanted to study and never changed majors. I went in a slightly different direction in grad school. But then again, I went to college four years after H.S. so maybe that had something to do with it.
Well, technically, I did change majors at the end of my sophmore year. My department had a B.A. track program and a B.S. track program. I switched over to the B.S. track when I learned about it.

Started as a liberal arts major, changed to economics, then changed to International Relations, with an emphasis in Asian Studies. I became a computer geek.

I would say "Don't do it"
But it's a handy degree to have, can open doors into a lot of things!

Tried private tuition?
Sometimes having someone else explaining it in a different manner is all you need.

Shoot , tried to edit my post and deleted it.
I have tried some forms of it but really it just made it somewhat worse. I am an A student , and right now I have 176 credits of the need 180 to graduate and on my degree evaluation it says math not met , GPA in the high 3.0's etc. I am obviously not stupid but there is something about math that makes it overwhelming for me.
Anyways It really sucks being 1 class away from graduating. I for some reason always end up with a D in math and they require a C- to get by, basically I didnt pass because of a few percentage points and now will be in summer school.
I pretty much regret ever going to college now, thousands of dollars spent and I am so close yet I have nothing to show . It doesnt matter if i have 176 of the 180 credits I still have no degree and have spent years of my life and thousands of dollars to get to this point of frustration.
It will be worth it when the summer is over, at least you get summer schooling, we just got a single chance at resitting the exam in the august!
Was there no other course, or is the math a requirement?
