Liberal Arts degrees

I keep nodding when I read burbuja's posts. The degree is only a part of the bigger picture. You have to get your foot in the door as early as possible and get some business experience. My wife got a job paying 8 dollars an hour as a senior in her finance undergrad at a local company. She is now a manager there with a bunch of direct reports and supervisors and her salary is great. That 7 dollar an hour job is what started her career and her business degree made her qualified to make 7 dollars an hour! Think about that for a minute!

Ok so you have a business degree but never worked in business. What is so bad about retail? Go in there and be professional, learn some HR and operations management and become store manager within a year. Then move to a higher end store and make more money. Business is business. If you don't have a marketable trade skill then get one or get experience.

I don't feel sorry for people who don't plan. This is the real world. Not school.

With that, go have a beer and enjoy the weekend. Watch out for yourself because nobody else but your mom will
