Technician Question:

When employers ask this question, they’re trying to get a feel for your interests within your major. While pursuing a general field is one thing, it is valuable to them to see what you are particularly invested in, what areas pique your curiosity the most, and what motivates you. Giving your interviewer a list of classes is one thing, but employers probably don’t care so much about the list of the classes as they do about why you chose the classes. The critical aspect of the question is to give your interviewer a sense of what you strive to accomplish and actively seek to gain in your academic environment.
