The 10 Best Majors For Slytherins

Being a Slytherin in modern society puts a major stigma against anything you might want to do. So here are 10 majors that will take you on very Slytherin life paths, without (much) of an evil stigma.

Business

Its part of the nature of Slytherins to want to be in charge of powerful things and what better way to do that than to be the CEO of a large company?

Chemistry

Going straight up book for this one. Potions = Chemistry

Political Science

Politics is right up the average Slytherin's alley. Combining the ability to advance and standing for a belief system creates an irresistible combination for any power hungry person.

Communications

Communications can lead to a lot of diverse things, but mainly jobs in the media. Working in the media is great because it is an easy way to be able to twist an agenda to point out or ignore certain plots. Very Slytherin.

Law

Being able to use the law for one's own gain is probably one of the most Slytherin things I can think of. No matter what a Slytherin does, they always come out on top.

Sociology

Sociology is the study of how people act in groups. A cunning Slytherin will know that group mentality is important to knowing how to control people.

History

One of the core things about Slytherins is that they don't want to make the same mistakes twice. And how does one learn from their mistakes? By studying History. A history major could easily lead to teaching history which is a great way to shape new minds into believing something.

Theatre

A Slytherin always needs to be ready to act and lie at a moments notice. Whether it's getting a lead or covering up a plot, the theater is the place to be.

Physics

Just imagine being so devoted to doing just one thing that most people say is impossible, like wanting to fly. The only way to accomplish this goal would be to learn every about the supposed "reasons" you can't and changing them. Changing the laws of physics quite ambitious.

Psychology

To know how a person thinks and be able to predict it can and will lead to a better working knowledge of said person. Of course, all knowledge gained should only be used for the greater good.


Naturally, anyone who considers themselves a Slytherin probably already has some indication of what they want. Even if it is as broad as 'nothing with blood', like it is for me. And of course, this is by no means a comprehensive list. I'm sure that any Slytherin has the ability to make any major suit their needs.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
