I'm looking at going to school through an online college, and I need some help selecting a major. We've got some smart people here with very diverse backgrounds and skills, and I'm interested in any and all input that anyone might have, good or bad. Let me give you a quick rundown on me, and then I'll list the available majors I can pick from.
I'll be retiring from the fire department in about 6 years and I want to have a Bachelors before I retire. I have no interest in doing anything related to the fire service once I retire. Ideally, I'd like to be able to do something related to whatever field I major in, but for enough money I'll do whatever.
My major concerns are income potential, where I live, and a work schedule that allows time off with family. Somewhere on the west coast is ideal for me. Central Cali and Oregon are high on my list.
I would prefer to stay out of healthcare, and I struggle with math. I have a strong competency in written and verbal communication, and an ability to comprehend complex systems and technical subjects. Graduate school is a possibility, but if I can make a good living without it that would be ideal.
Here's the list of available majors that they offer. It's long, I know. But, I'd highly appreciate you taking a look and seeing if there's anything you're familiar with that you think would be a great choice for a major/ career.
