False.......  GPA is important depending on the school but a philosphy major is useless....  Grades count for nothing in these mediocre programs..So my 4.0 in mass communications counts more than the guy with a 3.0 with an accounting degree and CPA?  I beg to differ.

Are you trying to justify a 3.0 in accting?

In my mind, accting is insanely saturated.

Lets assume minimal networking and pure resume drops at campus career fairs:

A 3.0 in Undergrad ACCT will get you a job though, maybe not Big 4.
A 3.0 in Undergrad Philosophy or some other bottom tier major will get you a bag of debt

Check IMG's site. They ALWAYS have internships available in Cleveland, NYC, and Kentucky.

If you're having trouble being contacted by someone, I would recommend using an address in the city which the job is located. I used a friend's Chicago address on my Chicago apps, and nobody has a clue.

My Masters is in Management, by the way, and I FINALLY got a job with JPMorgan Chase in Cleveland after 4 months of looking.

Are you trying to justify someone picking up these lame easy majors such as philosphy???? I mean what can you do with a philosophy degree besides teach???  And a 3.0 with a CPA>>>> Philosophy in every imaginable way.....  call it saturated if you want but I mean nursing is a field that is overly saturated, it doesnt stop it from being an in demand field...

Well.. not everyone is going to be going to college for solely money purposes. People have passion's and desires to learn subjects you may find irrelevant.

I mean... 4.0 in anything can get you into grad school or Ph. D programs.

 

[bonafide hustla]

dont let the sheep come in and deter.  you good, just keep grinding.  your degree does not make you.  just gotta think outside of the box when it comes to getting that jo

 

[josebronx]

[mieraviking]

That is very true and I mean if you aren't in school for finding a profitable job and you would like to do something that you love then I give all my blessings to you.. but i mean saying that a GPA in some easy major is the key to find a good job is just laughable.... it'll get you into grad school so that you can get another degree in your useless subject.... but i mean life isn't always about money so I can see where you're coming from...

 

[toy collector123]

If you want to teach, do TFA or a NY fellows program. You can become a coach, and work your way up

 

[veryanalytical85]

Stay up dude, a lot of us (including myself) even with college degrees are struggling to find something decent....

 

[antonlavey]

I just wanna be one of those old dudes with mad degrees next to his name, with no job who sits around philosophizing and contemplating existences.

All the 'justification' will be meaningless, because we are in unchartered times. People still think MBAs, ACCOUNTING DEGREES to be grail? Welcome to the real world. Grow some nuts, go into the real world, and stop posting dumb shet on NT. People who even have the time taking pictures of their shoes are nothing more than 'kids', that are collecting unemployment, and still riding on their parents. These are the same kids that 'looked' so cool graduating at USC, or UCLA, but have no jobs w/ their expensive and worthless degree.

An accounting major is great, but it's meaningless if you don't pursue the CPA and further your education. The same can be said w/ ANY FIELD, ANY MAJOR, ANY JOB, ANY PROFESSION.

Kids have to realize that the world changes faster than eastbay crashing on R/D. Kids have to learn that their 'job' is more important than their degrees ! Once you have that opportunity, absorb as much as you can from those around you. You need guts to make it out there. Hanging around after work w/ BESTBUY clerks and boasting about how you did this and that is nothing more than paving your road to more hardships. You have to be able to eat lunch by yourself, handle the brutal world of being the new guy, and keeping yourself cool !

Any degree initially is worthless, but have a sense of what direction you want to go in. A 'master's degree is to further your understanding in that 'career'. Why the fk do you think they have at least 2+ years pre-requisites for masters ?! Only POS degrees allow you to take a 'masters' right then and there.

Wow man. you really inspired me. I even saved what you said in a word pad.  I'm currently in the nursing program to acquire my ADN. Once I hit my second year i'm going to start to network for a job. And after that I want to go for my BSN, MSN, and hopefully become a NP. And you sir, definitely inspired me. I thank you for that.
