Business majors: what kind of jobs have you gotten?

[stormy]

what sort of engineering are you in/going into?

I'm a computer engineer, just got my masters. I talked with you about this before. It hurts me that you don't remember

[Fe 26]

lol, its even worse that I'm still technically a comp engineer. But you should know better than anyone that the minds of engineers are a bit "off."

Oh and speaking of being off, um ^_^ could someone remind what you call 2,4,6, and 8 year degrees?

associates,bachelors,masters,doctors/phds?

Us engineers have to stick together.

There are a lot of engineers and biz people at my school. One time this kid in engineering started telling me anything in the general liberal arts school is a fake major, and he had this huge superiority complex. I told him it's not a fucking trade school and that people study different things, but some people just have mentalities like that. But anyway, if you go business, get a good internship (helps if you're around a big city), and you should be good to go.

Hooray for having a father who works at a company in NYC and can get me internships as I go for a business degree.

Well to be fair, his major is probably worlds harder than anything in the liberal arts school. I've seen Engineeres go back to school and literally sleep through stuff llike business and even medicine.

Btw, you want to hear a Engineering joke? What do you call an engineer that can't do math? A MD.

IIRC Zenigata goes to my school, so I can verify that his major is indeed fake.

[Zenigata]

That might be true, but it probably depends more on the person. I've known some engineers to struggle with required writing/etc. courses. On the same token, I doubt I'd enjoy calc III very much. It doesn't matter with that specific guy anyway though, he cheats his way by everything, he'll either fail his PE exam or simply be a bad engineer.

edit - Omni. Part A, true. Part B, false. (I don't have a major :P I have to declare one when we go back tho, or else they'll cancel my measly TAP award)

This is 75% of our engineers, sadly. Most of these kids won't be engineers when they leave school because they so obviously suck at it/don't care about it. Luckily for them, however, employers respect an engineering degree and it's fairly easy to get a job even if it's not specifically in engineering.

So what do you wanna do?

DING DING DING. An engineering degree will open up a lot of doors for you. Future engineers of the world represent!
