What did you read at University?

[bookwormuk]

I am curious as to what subjects INTJ's read at University. I have a BA in Politics and International Relations and a MA in Russian and Russian Politics.

[Serket]

I have a BA(Hons) in Ancient History majoring in Old Kingdom Egypt.
Currently doing double masters: Master of Professional Accounting and a Master of Commerce within which I am double majoring in International Business and International Taxation.

Weird right?

[Pinkie]

Linguistics. I started off with a minor in German as well but I dropped it in favour of more Linguistics modules.

[thod]

Physics (stereotypical INTP)

Wow, your BA sounds really interesting, I wish that I had done something that was unusual and caught my imagination like that :)

I'm not familiar with the title phrase... my first thought was, "Well, I read books..." is this how an American would ask, "What did you study in college?"

No engineering from my side. Bs in Business Management, Bs in Market research, Master in International Business and I dropped out of 3rd year Economics when I realised I lost faith in academics.

[Uytuun]

Currently reading German and English linguistics and literature, at MA level.

[futuresurgeon]

BA chemistry. History minor

[Gabrielle]

MBBS medicine?

[ShaiGar]

I'm currently reading through the 355 section

[ElstonGunn]

...I realised I lost faith in academics.

So then you went to law school...? :laugh:

[Tenacious B]

I read books filled with greek letters and mathematical operators. Engineering literature is an oxymoron. Although there were a few introductory books that had some interesting historical tidbits, but that vanished during sophomore year.

[soundchaser]

Degree in Economics and History. Passed through the journalism and computer science departments on the way there, LOL.

[TehBeefah]

Currently studying Psychology and Dramatic Production. I'll be applying for graduate school in School Psychology.

[Zilal]

Geosciences.

[geonerd]

Zilal - what are you studying within geosci? Which univ are you at?

I have a BA in math, will start grad school in the fall for geology (carbonate sequence stratigraphy)

[selimut]

information technology. majoring in computer science.

[merid]

Bahons Publishing. It am just coming up to my final year.

I'm working on my bachelor's at the university of Rhode Island. I don't have a particular area of interest yet, but I've done more work in sedimentology/paleontology than anything else because it was the paleontology professor who took an interest in me. I just got a summer internship at Petrified Forest that I'm excited about.

What got you interested in carbonate sequence stratigraphy?

BA/BSc Open degree with Honours in Humanities (Creative Writing, 20th Century Literature, European Identity) and Social Sciences; also, I am currently working on an MA in Creative Writing with Manchester Metropolitan University and hoping (eventually) to get a Ph.D. in a similar subject.

Wow, that is great! It's definitely reassuring to know that someone is interested in you...I'm discovering this my second time around :) What will you be doing at the pet forest? I see you like ammonites...excellent choice of extinct marine invertebrate ;)

Let's see...geology in general struck my fancy after I took a job as an engineering tech for an oil company. I already had a math degree...they wanted me to get an engineering degree, but alas...i got distracted by all the pretty maps and cross-sections and things - then started bugging the geologists about what they do. I became instantly hooked! I love how the field is all-encompassing with respect to science, logic, creativity, and the unknown. So now i'm a geo-tech and have been taking undergrad geo classes part time for the past 3 years...i'm ready to go full-time now.

Carbonates, well...i've always had an appreciation for marine life, so I'm a big fan of invertebrate paleo myself. Also, carbonates are just...weird...which of course appeals to my INTJ nature. I'm also interested in time as the 4th dimension - so there's the sequence strat part.

That was a lengthy answer...and there's actually alot more to it but I will spare you the details.

Good luck! And if you ever want to discuss sed/strat/paleo...I'm up for it!

uhh....sorry for taking up space on the thread :P

I will be doing fossil prospecting, mapping, fossil prep, and some other stuff. Well, actually. I shall start another thread for this after all, in the science folder I think, and we can discuss whatever we like.

Not that weird, or we both are.
BA (Hons) in history, majoring in Renaissance Europe/Religious studies.
Currently working on a Master of Management, with an aside of creative writing.

Not an INTJ, but I'm finishing up my 4th year of a BSc in biology (hons, coop, specializing in physiology, blah blah). Then on to grad school.

Interesting that you're mostly arts degrees, as the INTJs I know in RL are all sciences/engineering.

[Uberfuhrer]

Interesting that you're mostly arts degrees, as the INTJs I know in RL are all sciences/engineering.

I tend to look at art as more of a strategic activity than tactical, though. I have visions in my head and I want to get them out as clearly and efficiently as I can. I'm actually not that interested in science, although I tend to approach life scientifically, in that I would rather control it than live it spontaneously.

While I have an interest in roller coaster designing (mechanical engineering), I am just not good at math -- I failed a number of algebra classes in college, and now I pretty much dropped out of college because it started becoming pointless. And I also hate taking all these classes that I'm never going to need -- like why would I need sociology or philosophy (of which I only have a casual interest) to be a roller coaster designer? They can talk about the benefits of being well-rounded of a universal education, but all they really want is your money.

I tend to slack off in the classes that don't relate directly to my own goals.

[spittingvenom]

BA Sociology and Biology from the University of Illinois. I am looking to attemp to get into grad school for public policy (my actual work for many years), urban planning, demography or a combination thereof.

Uber: I have learned that the significance of a liberal arts education is immeasurable. If you can find the value in learning things not related to your career goals, you will have a greater understanding of how interrelated all things are. I am not saying you have to pay (at university) for this type of education, but it took far too long for me to remove my INTJ blinders and really start applying myself in all aspects of learning and education.
