When you think of a major it typically has to do with a bachelor's degree.  You need to earn a set amount of credits.  A certificate can be earned without having to enroll in college and takes less time.  It doesn't often carry the same weight as a degree.  You can get them at community colleges or local adult education centers.

I have to dispute both previous posters' comments.  Philosophy is not often regarded as a practical degree, but there is something to be said about its practical applications.\n\nFor instance, the study of philosophy requires an intense amount of long-term, intrinsic, and/or analytical thinking.  I believe a development of these skills is something not often found with many other graduates of programs which are considerered practical.\n\nI believe most intelligent HR managers will see the potential of a candidate possessing such a degree as much as they would one with a marketing or business-related degree as a valued asset to a company.\n\nIt comes down to this:  Sell yourself to the people you're going to work for.  The older that I get; the more that I realize that most of the stereotypes associated with the work-force are absolute b.s.  What's important is to keep growing and expanding your knowledge base so that the knowledge can be applied to your profession and you can be continued to be considered an asset.  \n\nA degree is often nothing more than a standard to gauge a potential candidate's likeliness of being a worth-while investment for the company to make.  Therefore, the specialization of the degree is not as important as one may think.\n\nIf you're still not convinced, perhaps you may want to consider obtaining a double major.

Unless you are doing a degree in hard science (Chemistry, Biology, engineering) anything else is just a degree. \n\nCollege is a time to try things out, average student changes their major 2.5 times. \n\nFind something you enjoy and stick with that. \n\nNever let anyone tell you, it is not possible to do what you love for a living. It is just a matter of having realistic expectations about what that job will earn you. If you can live with what your degree will earn you that is enough.

If you get it from a community or junior college it can be less expensive to get your foundation courses than immediately going to a four-year college or university so you will have saved money.\n\nIf you are going into a field that only requires you to have certain training in very specific areas then an associates degree is better suited.  Examples:  Carpentry, Cosmetology, Small engine repair, Computer technology (mostly hardware), etc.\n\nA four-year degree gives you a vast body of knowledge so that you will hopefully be a more creative and constructive thinker (history, humanities, art, music on and on). An associate degree assumes that you are either going straight into a four year institutions (in which case you get all the classes in () above) or you are immediately going to seek a job and you won't need all the intellectual stuff.

"'A bachelor's degree is called a bachelor's degree because it won't get you paid enough money to be able to afford to get married' -- Nick Wilson", but seriously:\n\n"The college degree is called a "Bachelor's" degree after the original meaning of bachelor, which was a young apprentice. Since the Bachelor's is the first degree issued, coming before a Master's or Doctor's degree, that first degree became known as a Bachelor's degree."

Since you are interested in doing a science course, I would encourage you to get into a Bachelor of Technology course. The specialization area should be of your interest, example Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Electronics or whatsoever. You know your potential and caliber. So take a specialization that you think would suit you the best.\nTake every piece of education as a good note. And I am sure that your Foundation Course wouldnt do you any harm and it will definitely be helpful in laying a firm foundation. So proceed with completion of your Foundation Course.\nConsidering the Engineering Sciences, one could rake lots of money in the Computer Science and related fields. Business may not be your focus now. It's better to get on with a rich discipline of science and master that field.
