It's a perfect fit, and already all set up. So, I really don't need responses telling me how poor my job market is, and/or how limited the opportunities are.</p> <p>I know most employers don't pay much attention to minors, and they're really not a big deal. However, I am being asked to declare mine before Thanksgiving, and i'm a bit stuck.</p> <p>Some people may say this is a fair amount of information to process, but I would greatly appreciate any sort of feedback!</p> <p>Political Science: The program claims there's a lot of overlap, and that it prepares one for a career in Journalism. I am worried that the subject may bore me. I am not overly bored by politics, though they don't exactly excite me either.</p> <p>Anthropology: I have to focus on either Biological/Physical, Social/Cultural, Theoretical, or Applied Anthropology. Depending on what I sign up for, this could end up being relevant, yet that's mostly speculation.</p> <p>English and Textual Studies: My English 104 teacher told me I ought to consider studying literature professionally. It seems as if it would probably be helpful, as reading and writing go hand in hand.</p> <p>Fine Arts: I adored Art History; except I fear that this is one of those fluffy subjects, which really isn't going to do much for me. Hence, I would be taking this purely for my own enjoyment.</p> <p>Philosophy: This bears a similar problem to Art History, only it might be a bit more beneficial, because it could help build argumentative, critical thinking, and analytical skills. </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/harvard-admissions-my-standings-and-plannnings#post-1741 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 19:07:42 +0000 Anonymous 1741@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>Right now I am a High School sophomore with hopes of majoring in astrophysics as an undergraduate and plasma physics as a graduate.

I am finally a senior at the University of North Texas and began my freshman year working 50hrs a week and taking 12 hours of school. I have been working and going to school full time for 4 years now, and I have a 3.0 GPA. After a few semesters, you really end up figuring out what works for you, usually at the expense of your GPA or sub-par work performance. Right now, my "ideal" work/school balance is as follows: Working 4 days one week, 5 days the next; this includes working every Saturday. For school, I am taking 15 hours this semester and need 15 more in the spring to graduate. So I average around 35 hours per week and take 15 hours of upper level business classes. Nice, huh?</p> <p> Here is the kicker - you will eventually go INSANE! I am a very laid-back person, but I have had a tremendous time dealing with the stress that comes from everything. I work at a retail corporation in a middle management role. The paychecks and experience are great, the stress is horrible. I would recommend getting a job that does not require too much critical thinking and that does not carry enormous expectations. It is very hard not to take home work issues with you. My job expectations are difficult to fulfill working 40+ hours per week, let alone 35.</p> <p> With school, you have to make it the #1 priority over everything else. If you cannot do that or are not yet willing to do that, you are wasting your time. Save your money and wait til you are ready to commit. I have had to drop many classes and have had to do a few over as well because of the enormous weight of it all (There were also two semesters when I had to drop classes due to a torn ACL and a death in the family). Your major and your GPA will make or break the beginning of your professional life, seriously. Your GPA is your baby. </p> <p> Essentially, you cannot afford to have much of a social life, if any. I rarely see my family and friends. I basically spend time with my girlfriend (which I also do not recommend if you are working and going to school full-time unless you both are seriously involved) and go out once or twice as week, usually at the expense of sleep. I end up having a few hours a week to do some fun things, but I end up feeling guilty about it because I could be using that time to study! I have not been on a vacation since I started school. There literally is no time.</p> <p> I would say that working and going to school full time has its benefits. You get valuable experience and a paycheck to take care of financial obligations. You are also able to apply your education to your current job responsibilities. Some companies even pay some of your tuition bill! The negatives include constant stress, depression, poorer health, loss of social life and weakened relationships, less opportunity to enjoy the best years of your life. Is it worth it? I would say NO. I only work because I have refused to take out monster private loans in order to pay for living expenses. As I am in midst of my senior year, the stress is really getting to me and I may die soon. I am considering taking out a small private loan and working part-time at 20 hours a week. 15 hours a week plus reduced stress sounds great right about... NOW! :) </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/international-internship-for-recent-college-graduate#post-1655 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 01:59:36 +0000 Anonymous 1655@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>Kareer Krafters is providing internship programs to hotel management students in USA in numerous hotel ranging from Hyatt, Six Flags, Paramount, GAP,McDonalds,HMS Host and many many more.</p> <p>We have an extensive range of Work Study programs ranging from Undergraduate courses, Post Graduate Courses, MBA programs, Diploma in Hotel Management and various Certification courses in health care and other fields tooo.</p> <p>Kareer Krafters and have sent more than 2,000 participant’s to USA in for summer jobs and internships.

School starts again in a couple of weeks, and I'm starting to rethink the classes I have chosen to take this semester. I'm going to be a sophomore at the College of Charleston in SC. I spent my first year experimenting with a ton of classes that I liked but just didn't seem right to major in. </p> <p>So here I am: so stuck and frustrated that I've decided to ask strangers for their opinions. Not looking for you to decide for me, since you don't know me (obviously). But just have an unbiased outlook. </p> <p>Ok, here's the majors (and minors) I'm considering. Don't worry about how many credits everything is, because I'm fairly certain I can fit it all into the next 3 (I hope to God) years.</p> <p>-Communications, with a concentration in Media Studies- Such a vast major. I kind of want to have a job prospect when I graduate, and I hear that so many people with this major get kind of stuck later on, for whatever reason. But, I like to write, and I'll be able to take a few writing classes. Plus, one of my dream jobs is to work for a magazine some day (not necessarily writing, which is what gets me stuck-what about being a creative director or something?). Anyway, this major confuses me because I feel like there are too many and too little things to do with it at the same time. </p> <p>-Arts Management, which I'll have to find another thing to major or minor in with- Pretty much so I could hopefully someday work at a museum or gallery or something and have both an arts education and a little business knowledge. But I'm not looking forward to the business classes I'd have to take. I'm not a big fan of math. But the other classes look good. And I like the prospects of this one. </p> <p>-Art History- Probably to go along with Arts Management. I took Asian Art History last semester, and it was my favorite class and my hardest class at the same time. I love learning about the art but I hated memorizing everything, which I have a feeling will be a lot of this major. I think it'd be worth it, though, because I like it. What are some prospects with this, though?</p> <p>-Historic Preservation- Another dream of mine is to own an antique and architectural salvage store. This would help with that. BUT I'm not sure if I should just major in Art History because I could take the same exact classes and have a broader major title. Any advice?</p> <p>-Studio Art- Would love to minor in this, because I'd love to have an art background (even if it's small) and I love photography and would concentrate in that. I think this would open some doors for me. </p> <p>OK, that's enough of my typing. If you read all of that, thank you so much. Please help me out and give me your opinions. See, I'm not completely lost as for what to do. It's just that I have so many ideas it's hard to choose one. </p> <p>And since this is a long post, I might as well make it longer: Here's things I enjoy in life, so you get a better idea for who I am: travel, writing, photography, fashion, antiques, cities, art, books (and design of books- hello, publishing?), and that's all I can think of.</p> <p>Ok that's enough. Just remember I can do basically any major and minor combo that would be beneficial. I'm even open to double minoring or something. Thanks again, so much. </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/international-internship-for-recent-college-graduate#post-1578 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 08:56:00 +0000 Anonymous 1578@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>Hi Everyone!
