Major Questions Answered!

Today I was going over the career services page on LSU's Web site. I know it's a little early to be thinking about a career, but I guess that's what college is for, right! The career services Web site has an entire section just for prospective students like us. I guess it's nice to know that if I do decide to go to LSU (and I'm sure that a lot of other colleges also have something like this) they are prepared to help me find a job.

I also found a really great place where I can learn about what I can do with different majors. The list is located here and I think you guys should check it out. If you can find an interesting degree program, let me know. I think it would be really cool to know a bit about the different careers that I could actually get an education for. Guess now I have no excuse but to find something I'm actually interested in.

Just for fun I looked up what I could do with a business degree. I found out that there are about four different areas of business: marketing, management, statistics and transportation/logistics. The page on business also lists all the different areas I could work in, all the different types of employers that could hire me and different strategies that I could use to make myself better for specific jobs.

After I did all of that on LSU's Web site, I also visited UNO's Web site. The future student section is located here. This tab has some really great resources about student life and the application process. What do you think?

    GOing to UNO is much cheaper than I thought! I thought all colleges were expensive!
    Do you know any more that are about the same price as UNO?

  2. UNO looks like a good college. My advice, check out some of the other colleges. Where you go to college can be influenced by lots of things. You may want to stay close to your family, or go out of state if they offer better opportunities. It all depends on you. I have some friends that want to go to LSU or Southern but if they get accepted to Stanford or an Ivy League school, they're going to take that opportunity. It's also a good idea to apply for a scholarship. Some of these colleges are really expensive and they're not like UNO.

  3. What if you got accepted to Stanford or an Ivy League school? Would you take that opportunity, or go somewhere else? You should think about all the possibilities.
