"What major are you"???

Is it a legitimate culturally compact expression?
I've heard people say that but then OF COURSE I know that "what's your major" should definitely be the more commonly used one.

I believe speakers in Asian countries use this quite often. It's well understood but I can't say that it's 'legitimate'.

Please don't use "wanna" or "gonna" in writing -- people will immediately take you less seriously.

Good advice. They are colloquial.
