 In all seriousness, you should do more humanities/social science classes. I'm glad you asked about that. I also think it's important to take a variety of classes, especially early on. This is because you may quickly find your field is not to your liking, and it will be helpful to have some idea what else is out there so that you won't be caught completely unprepared. I've changed my major 3 times. So, humanities classes! I strongly recommend sociology and culture studies. Of course those are my own areas of interest. Psychology is good, to the extent that it focuses more on lived experience and less on biology/brain functioning. Social psychology is great. I never liked history, but I think it is still important - perhaps something to pursue more on your own time, though. I also believe strongly in studying philosophy, but again, the formal setting seems less optimal for me. Economics is good, but try to take it with a grain of salt - it is very conservative ideology packaged as science (whereas culture studies is more like very liberal/radical ideology packaged as... well, not science... but you get the idea!). I also recommend taking a music appreciation or something to do with art... even an architecture appreciation class would be good. I recommend classes that give you some insight into how the world works. Don't be a super technically minded person who has no concept of the big picture. There are too many people like that, and the result is a schizoid world in which scientists create the tools for the downfall of all, without any realization of what they are doing. In other words, overemphasis on the technical creates a society without a conscience. Good luck - I hope college works out for you! Nick | ||

Note, I am NOT a biological determinist, and I see no reason why women cannot excel in ANY field. I'm merely observing that for a variety of reasons, women tend to take certain courses and avoid others. | ||
