I have a business degree and I think it’s a great degree to get started with. I think that developing relationships with professors is a great way to get a heart felt recommendation letter and the inside track of potential, unadvertised jobs.

The other best point is gaining experience. I took a co-op degree program that was great for this. I gained real experience, got paid well and had a network of employers to fall back on when I was finally out of school.

Good post!

Nice tips Daisy. Getting good internship experience is a big one and definitely something that hiring firms expect these days when they are looking through resumes. A lot of times it means working for nothing in internships, but it’s worth it if it gets your foot in the door when you graduate.

Great article. I started out as a business major, but my passion took me elsewhere. I’m finding that a lot of my former peers who went on with the program are having trouble finding jobs in the post Wall Street crash economy. I know you’re doing amazing (mostly due to your crazy hard work,) but do you find your former classmates struggling?

Congrats and strut your stuff when you take that walk this week!

In reply to 101 Centavos. Golden words! It took me forever to learn to write well (English is my third language after all). But boy it still pays off!

Daisy, being a student of business, I can tell you these are all great. But I especially like number 4. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read CNN before going to an important lunch, and its lead to some great discussion beyond what other people contributed. It’s such an easy thing to do and very effective.

Good tips! And I definitely agree with choosing a major that you can market later, though I grew up with parents saying do what you love. So I did a film degree. I don’t regret it but there are some difficulties working in marketing and moving up the chain when I don’t actually have a marketing degree. Though it is a great conversation starter, I will say that.

I wrote a similar post a couple months ago, though you bring up some different points that are definitely good takeaways. Learning how to write is huge! I also wish I had fostered better relationships with my professors. I feel I missed out on some key connections that were right in front of me (literally, right in front of the class lecturing 3 days a week!) that could have been good contacts post-college.
