<p>Well, I was pre-med. That's because all the women in my family were either doctors or "housewives." I knew I didn't want the latter. When I started to let go of family-bred role models, I transferred to a major in philosophy.</p>

<div> When I was in college, I transferred out of geology class after one week. After I heard the professor lecture about rocks for an hour,</div>
<div>I knew the class was not for me.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Then, as a mechanical engineering student, I learned that all third year engineering students were required to take accounting.</div>
<div>The very thought of accounting class makes my brain hurt. So, I transferred out of engineering and got a degree in liberal arts (majored</div>
<div>in philosophy.) If I need an accountant, I'll hire one, thank you. </div>
<div> </div>
<div> Just curious, what class or major did you transfer out of?</div>
