I just graduated in June with Bachelors Degree in Business Admin... main option is Accounting and secondary option in Corporate Management

I'm currently working for a bank dealing with commercial backed securities property taxes... not specifically financial accounting, but it's still 'business'

there's an accounting aspect of my job... I have to do reconciliations of our disbursements... move funds to balance out accounts, and I deal with a lot of accountants, controllers, CFOs, etc from businesses all over the country

I was working here when I graduated... but just got promoted... so I may rock with this shit for a while, always keeping my eyes open for opportunities though

yeah... go to college... business is always a good route, and I've always heard accounting specifically is the way to go... so that's the way I went

thats me. i fucked around so much in high school. dropped out got my GED. Now im making 8.75 an hr and barely making enough money to afford anything. I pay rent and bills and put gas in my car and then im left with 20 bucks.

I figured id go and get a ba in accounting then try to move on and get a masters in it. Thats the goal but i have to try to get in to school first. ima call the two beezies from these schools tomorrow and go from there.

if you do go the accounting route... you may not even need a masters

get a bachelors degree and if you wanna really excel in that field take the CPA exam

i go to west side academy of art university, and i'm majoring in traditional illustration. dope school, but it's expensive ass fuck. thank god i've received grants that i don't have to pay back, but i still gotta pay back the loans from my first 2 years going there.

i have two semesters left in the program, and i should be graduating by spring 2012. i've had some pretty dope teachers that are willing to sacrifice their own time to help students, even if they are no longer enrolled in their classes. although i haven't had much of a social life the past three summers due to enrolling in multiple summer classes, i'm glad to say i'm graduating early, thanks to the instructors that pushed me to work harder and help me stay on the right path to becoming the best artist i can possibly be.

I went to junior college for a bit then dropped out...I've always found school to be a bit boring.

I had a temp job at a law firm in the file room and decided to just do that full time...got caught up in the wrong crowd so that didn't help either.

Long story short I grew up...worked my way up...and I'm an Intellectual Property Paralegal now. Never went back to school...just learned the shit on my own.

Through the years I have definitely become one of those people that believe you don't need school to make a decent living...I think its more WHO you know than WHAT you know.

One more thing...business majors and lawyers are a dime a dozen...if you choose one of these fields I suggest networking BIG time or your ass won't have a job. I know a shit load of both that are 200k in debt and can't do shit with their fancy new degree.

I definitely am not cut out for school. My wife has her masters and is working on her MBA and she loves it.

I help her with her papers and it reminds me how much it sucks.

I got my bachelor of art degree in business with a focus on finance at Arizona State University December 2010. College or some kind of formal training school is needed to make it in the world today.

Most PhD programs pay you to go to school, I know the UT system pays most of the students a stipend of about 2500 to 3500 a month. That if ur not dumb with money you can knock a big chunk off ur loans.

I play the hispanic card hard in school. I get a shit load more grants and scholarships for checking that little box. I hope to be either a token hispanic in pharmacy or chem.grad schoool.next year.

If that don't work I still have being a world famous dj to fall on. Fuck u aoke , u gonna.get the smack smack when I see you!

Going to college right now. Just got divorced though and I'm about to be a single father as school starts next semester so I might take a semester off just to figure my new life out a little and be there for my sons as much as I can.

I was going for radiologic technology to do mri's and x-rays and all that cause it pays well and it's only a 2 year degree but the 2nd year of school is m-f 8-5 and I would still have to work a full time job which I won't be able to so I'm going to school to get a business degree as it stands at the moment.

Get into a Career Pathways program in your school if they have one. They'll set you up with all kinds of benefits to both excel at school and taking care of your child.

I had been going to a college the past couple years...I was doing well...earned a 3.8 GPA over my time there. But I really have no idea what I want to do, and I always wanted to join the military...So im putting school off for awhile and going into the Army in Jan...hopefully when I get out I will have the motivation to go back and finish what I started, lol...I think I will.

Thats true in the sciences. Although those numbers seem high to me. Also, you're not just getting paid to take classes (which you only do for the first couple years). Your income either comes from the department , for teaching classes at the end of grad school, or TAing them in the beginning. Or can come from grant money for doing research which, at least initially, is coming from your advisors grants, so its good to be in a well funded lab.
