College Major Vs. Money Review

   Earlier today I interviewed Michigan State University college junior, Khyrah Simpson for a closer look on why she choose the degree she is currently pursuing.

   Simpson said she decided she loved writing, more than journalism as a career and that she loves the majors, Psychology and Criminal Justice, that she is currently pursuing.

     Many college students understand that furthering their education will allow them to make more money in a career later in life. Yet some majors pay more that others and that has an effect on the major students are willing to choose.

   The US Census Bureau finds that different majors have an earning gap of around $6 million in a persons lifetime earnings, according to 247wallstreet.com

  Although money is a factor Simpson doesn't believe it should be the only one. "Definitely go with what you love, um, additional I did change my major because of the money but I ended going into something that I do love and I am passionate about it," Simpson said.
 

Money vs. Major Preview

   Pulling up the couch in her living room at University village, Khyrah Simpson turns down the volume on her flat screen TV, while shutting off her IPhone and stares at the camera asking me if I'm ready to interview her on how important money played a role in her major.
      
     Some Michigan State University students feel that spending thousands of dollars on an education should pay off in the form of an income from a job after they graduate.

     When asked how much money played a role in the major she choose, MSU junior Simpson said, "It probably played a big role."

   Simpson was once a Journalism major who switched to a double major in Criminal Justice and Psychology.

   "When I came to Michigan State I knew exactly what I wanted to do, and that involved print journalism and I was made very aware that it's pretty much a dying field," Simpson said.

 

   

Update

The choice to go to Buffalo Wild Wings before a party on St. Patrick's day was one some of the brothers of Phi Sigma Pi national honors fraternity 'did not regret'. Alex Gouldey said. 

While Katie Wiley was disappointed in the lack of green strongbro the food, "definitely made up for it," she said.

St. Patrick's day was unusual cold, compared to last year, but the group of PSP brother's still made the best of it. 

Throughout the dinning experience the group saw a fight happening outside with a group of kids that had just been kicked out of the restaurant that resulted in the police breaking it up, rusty metal in the bottom of Makenzie Ann's shoe, overly salty fries, drunk waiters and a handful of other shenanigans. 

"State Patties day is suppose to be filled with wild random things," Katie Wiley said, commenting on the events of the evening. 

Over half of the group had morning classes the next day and only two of them, Thrishanna Martin and Erica Shadwell, made it to their morning classes.

East Lansing is all a buzz all day Sunday with Green and White, not only because it's Michigan State Universities school colors, but also because it's St. Patrick's day.

While many student's wouldn't enjoy climbing out of bed to a 6:30am, many where found parading the streets of grand river heading to the East Lansing Bars for a chance to get green beer. 

Many of the Brothers on the honors fraternity, Phi Sigma Pi, where found at 513 Charles Street celebrating at Kara Parkers house. 

Parkers decision to host a party came last minute, posting the party on Facebook just one day in advance. The post said, "Come out and get rowdy with me." 

After leaving the party, Erica Shadwell, Katie Wiley, Alex Gouldey, Makenzie Ann, and Thrishanna Martin all decided to have lunch and Buffalo Wild Wings for a chance to get green beer. 

Wiley, who has had a few beers already said, "They ran out of Strongbro, what a communist nation," commenting after the waiter explained they ran out of Strongbro earlier in the evening.

The food was adequate, the beer was green, and it turned out to be a successful event.
