Psychology? Would never have guessed! Mine are IT and Philosophy.

I like skinnerian behaviourism. It is old, but it has a beautiful 
simplicity.

I shudder at the memory of differential equations and my electromagnetism 
course. I quickly came to the conclusion that I found math and physics 
boring. I was able to push through some of those courses by sheer will 
power, but I realized, why should I spend 4 years on something that I find 
is boring?

So after jumping through legal hoops, and proving to the university that 
my idea was correct and theirs wrong, they let me pick my own courses as 
long as the course difficulty level (A, B, C, D level) met some 
pre-specified levels. So in the end the emphasis was on IT and philosophy, 
with a healthy dose of psychology, business, finance etc.

This mirrors what I have heard from older colleagues.
