Looking for best Non-humanities majors at USAFA
fencersmother - my DD is right there with you!I still say: PHYSICS.
Pure science, math heavy so later degrees in this or any other science easier, including the baby math of business, and the computer-dominated math of engineering. ALWAYS in demand, excellent training for later in life, especially since it is so unbelievably DIFFICULT.
The best is pretty subjective.Looking for best Non-humanities majors at USAFA
My Op Research guy had job offers in the private sector before graduation.
I don't know about SA grads, but Bullet had people calling him with job offers @15-18 months before he retired. He actually played them off of each other regarding his starting salary.What do you mean by your ops research "guy"? Son? Also, is it common for companies to offer cadets job positions that will be reserved for them until after their service commitment?
I've considered a management major....so I was just curious if you wouldn't mind expanding a bit as to why they are such an outstanding department?The managment department is viewed as (arguably) the best department at the U.S. Air Force Academy. It is often picked because it's regarded as one of the easier majors, but the department is considered outstanding. Political science is also known for being pretty well regarded. I know these are humanities majors, but I still figured it is important you are aware.
I would avoid chemistry if you can. If you are technical, go for computer engineering and a pull a slot at MIT. It's pretty legit. Choose what interests you, and as others have said, your job as an officer will rarely be aligned with what your major was.
