Business majors: what kind of jobs have you gotten?

[Fe 26]

My physics 1,2,and eng mechanics statics teacher put the eqs on the test. Calc 1,2,4 were all pencil and calc. Some of them were a serious bitch becuase calc 1 and 2 were 5 hour classes. You could have a ton of shit to remember for each test.

Good business majors, and really anyone who wants to get into a career field out of college, made contacts while they were still an undergrad and have a plan when they're handed their diploma.

The rest of them have a sheet of paper that entitles them to a garbage middle management office job for the rest of their life.

EDIT: Oh and to all my Social Science homies out there in the hood, join me in the glory that is government work. Let these other suckers battle it out like dogs in the private sector while we grow wealthy off their tax dollars by making demographic spreadsheets in Excel.

Not really. But none of our teahcers take up the H.W. it is all test.

This would be bad for me, I'd probably never do the HW.

I will admit that I do borderline cheat sometimes. I use the solutions guide in math to help do my H.W. if I get stuck and I put trig conversations and other little tidbits of info in my graphing calculator. But our math teahcers say its ok to use the soulations guide for H.W. so long as we learn how to do the work by test time. They even sell it in the college book store.

That's not cheating.

I do have one story about some kids cheating in our eng classes. In Physics 1 three guys stored every test question ever, with math, and final answers in their graphing calculators right before the final. The teacher knew they had done this with his amazing teacher mind powers. Right before he handed out the test papers, he took up their graphing calcs, and deleated the memory. One of the guys almosted puked.

LOL.

i don't know why people major in such things then. They should just change to civil eng or something. I love that sort of stuff. I can't wait to get into it. I read about the differences between different tubes, transistors, etc, etc, for enjoyment.

Yeah, I don't know either. Job security, I guess.

no one ever does. That is why I had to retake calc 1 and 2. I was lazy and didn't do the H.W. I could always do it later, but you know, later never comes.

This is true in any field. The days of companies heavily recruiting directly off of campus' is long gone. If you haven't set youreself up to succeed after you get your diploma, then you have alot of work ahead of you. That piece of paper isn't your ticket to a job, just a prerequisite. If you finish college, walk across the stage, and then ask yourself "now what?", then you are way behind. And if you can't interview, then learn, cause if you blow interviews your gonna have a hard time getting a job.

And speaking of employment, I just got promoted to Director of Audio Services at U of MD. Woot!

Good, now as director of audio services, it's your job to blaze with me before semester's end.

[Mr-K]

At least none of us are Sociology majors!

HA! Stupid hippies.

[Scourge]

Unless you are willing to do sales or retail management, you need to move to a large market to find a job that doesn't suck. That or have alot of patients.

That's a different major.

If you were a business major (bachelor's degree), what kind of doors did that degree open for you? How about an MBA?

If I were, or if you were? If you're really looking for the latter, I'd say the only doors you're opening are ones you hold for people while hoping for tips.
