Quiz: Can we guess what you studied in college?

Were you a bookish English student or a tech-obsessed Computer Science type? We’ll figure it out.

SCIENCE? ART? ZOOLOGY? If you were asked to figure out what someone studied in college on first meeting them, chances are you’d get the answer wrong.

After all, 17 or 18 is a young age to be saddled with a decision like choosing a lifelong career path. In fact, plenty of people later find themselves pursuing careers or passions entirely unrelated to their original college course – which is why part-time or postgraduate courses can be a great option to grow your skills and qualifications.

While we know the odds are stacked against us on this one, we’re going to attempt the impossible right now, and try to guess what you studied in college based on just a few short questions. Wish us luck.
