BA's in Econ & Communication (UC Davis '10..... home of the pepper-sprayed

)

IMO, nobody will hand you a job w/ either of those degrees alone, so definitely load up on internships that suit your interests.

During college, I tried out Financial Analysis (Morgan Stanley), HR (small non-profit healthcare provider), and Technical Support (Apple) before settling on Sales Operations at a medium-sized data networking company upon graduation.

Left that company a few months ago and currently part-time in Sales/Marketing for a Health Sciences while also starting a Koi Fish shop/garden on the side.

Econ is a very flexible, open-ended major but again, experience is key.

Currently am a special education aide at a school district and behavioral therapist/consultant.

PROS: Get to work in the community, go to Disneyland with clients, malls, stores, etc.

CONS: Severe behaviors: aggression, self injurious behavior, tantrums, etc and the worst is terrible parents.

Hope to get a job as an autism specialist or behavioral specialist in a school district after I graduate.

Autism is where the money is at right now, so many ppl are pumping money into it because of celebrities focusing on this. That's a good route

Pros: Govt Job, Working/helping youth, applying the knowledge of laws/policy

Cons: Sometimes overworked, High cases, State policies can change at the drop of a hat, sometimes kids are a bunch of hellians

What med school did you attend and what field did you decide to go into?

Went into Radiology. What was but soon may not be part of the ROAD specialties. Not gonna say where i graduated from but i will say i graduated 2nd in my med school class with a 3.95 GPA *humble brag*

Congrats! 
Yeah I heard the job market is feeling a little tight now where people are opting for fellowships and even for second fellowships, but what field isn't facing looming cuts and mid-level encroachment. 

But real talk...DAT AOA STATUS DAWG, nothing to be humble about. You put in the hours and you deserved it.

Yea man the job market is really tight right now but it will open back up. Most people were doing fellowships to begin with in radiology 90%+ and now with the new board changes i suspect that will approach close to 100% but  havent heard of many people doing two fellowships like they do in pathology. Our salaries are dropping but we dont really have many mid levels eating into your system.
