My BA is in sociology. Loved getting it, but it's totally useless for doing things like, oh, feeding myself. My minors were Japanese and linguistics, which are likewise completely useless for getting a job in the American Southwest. I'd do better if my Spanish didn't suck.
Current BS program is Electronic Media, which will in theory qualify me to be a button-pressing monkey for a television or radio station/production facility, thus meaning I can eat when I get into grad school.
My grand life plan is to stay at a university until they quit charging me to be here and start paying me instead. I was actually looking at school in Montréal at one point, on the basis that my country has actually been embarrassing me more than my family has, these past few years, and I speak pretty reasonable Canadian French, so I wouldn't, you know, die. I'm not sure I have job skills the Canadian government would like, however, which means I don't have any idea of my odds of getting the boot once I have a PhD. I loathe moving and I would hate to have to put down on my résumé something like, "Was asked to leave the country as they already had a surfeit of smartasses."
