Just curious here, say in the future i wanted to work for apple making their products, or making their OS or anything like that... what would i want to major in for college? dumb question... thanks for reading.
 
Depends on whether you want to do software or hardware, but some areas that will help get you there...

Computer Science
Computer Engineering
Electrical and/or Mechanical Engineering
Mathematics
 
Programming/Computer Science/Electronics Engineering probably would be most apt.

But any personal interest in development/Apple would help too. If you had any shareware Mac development experience, or iPhone app; that would show both technical knowledge, and initiative & drive.
 
If you are definite on wanting to work for Apple and not any other company it will pay off to write to Apple or even to SJ and see if you can gain as much insight to the company. They themselves should have an idea where they are headed and may open up a different field for you to follow.
 
wow didnt think i would get so much replies, thanks! i figured something like that, although i might try to land a job as a genius before shooting that high up.....thoughts?
