Your boy needs some advice.

[russwest0]

Run down:

Halfway finished with college, basically been coasting through this point. Got all of my general education courses done. Problem is I have no idea what I want to major in. Have my college paid for because of elite testing scores and shit, but if I just dropout, pretty sure I have to pay for my tuition, SO...

What should I major in? I'd prefer something easy to finish college out, something flexible in regards to works for various job fields, and perhaps something I'd work lower hours in?

Considering a bunch of shit right now:
Sports Management (this is relative to my interests)
Communication (seems to be easy and apply to many job fields)
Music Composition (learned piano and guitar at a young age so shit comes easy to me)

Only thing is, I don't suck at math, but really hate doing that shit, so any engineering shit would be a no go.

Any advice out there?

[Milbuck]

Drop out. Move to Colorado, get an easy job at Culvers's or Wendy's or something. Smoke bud in the mountains every day.

[plowking]

Communication is one of the biggest cop outs I've seen as far as higher learning goes. It's about as relevant as an arts degree really.
I'd stray away from something like management of any sort, including business too.
As much as you hate engineering, it is something to push for IMO. Economics, Engineering or Law would be a decent pathway to follow IMO.

If you're looking for a degree that will pave many pathways for you, do Economics, not Communications like you suggested. It is a far more respected and well looked upon degree.
If you're up for it, go for Engineering though. It is a lot of work though.

[Smook A.]

I think you'd be great in Sports Management. I've noticed that you're pretty intelligent when you make long posts that argue about something.

This job pays really well. Depending on the level of your education, you can get payed up to $100,000+ every year.

[9erempiree]

Sports Management is a worthless degree and highly competitive. Look how many sports team are in this world with very few jobs. Do you think a guy like Phil Jackson or Mitch Kupchak got a sports management degree? Nope. They get these position based on their past career and connections.

If you are going to handle the business aspect of a sports franchis? You are better off getting a degree in accounting and getting your CPA license. That will land you a front office of a sports team more than a guy with a sports management guy. Essentially you are dealing with numbers and figures.

If this sports management degree is geared towards representation, such as being an agent. It is highly competitive and you almost have to really recruit high school and college student. A lot of shady dealings that go around. It is a crap degree because most agents have some sort of law degree. Contractual law to be exact.

I have seen the curriculum with Sports Management and it doesn't teach you anything beneficial outside of sports. At least with a legitimate business degree such as Finance or Accounting you have a better position to be CFO of a company.

Damn, that seems spot on about a sports management major. Only chance in hell at getting an NBA job IMO would be like being good enough and working your way up until you are 50, or getting a management internship somewhere (Rockets do this for example) and being badass enough to stick around (this is how OKC GM Sam Presti got hired with the Spurs). Odds of either happening are so small though.

Might cross that one off the list.

[ace23]

If you're trying to be employable, those are three of the worst degrees you could possibly have.

Music composition sounds like it could be fun, though.

[KyleKong]

I can tell you one thing, both of my parents and some relatives work in the Medical Sales industry.

They hire people as long as you have a 4-year diploma. Could be in anything, History, Sports Management, Math, etc.

Can't speak for any other businesses but I'm assuming they are the same way.

Pick something that is interesting to you.

:no:

Medical sales, not Pharmaceutical sales.

But yes, pharmaceutical companies are evil.

[9erempiree]

The real reason why employers are looking for someone with a degree because if you can commit yourself to a 4-year institution and follow rules then you can follow their rules. It is like the prison system, you get institutionalized so they can boss us sheeps around.

At least that is how I see it.

To be honest, anyone can be an entrepreneur with hard work and luck. You don't need an institution to tell you that. While being institutionalized, don't lose your soul to the system.

[Jameerthefear]

those are pretty shitty majors

[KevinNYC]

Sports Management (this is relative to my interests)
Communication (seems to be easy and apply to many job fields)
Music Composition (learned piano and guitar at a young age so shit comes easy to me)?

You need to think about what you actually do with each of these degrees.

What would you do with a Music Composition degree? Teach? You have to consider if you would like teaching. Becoming a professional musician is insanely competitive. Sports Management is probably competitive too.

If you chose Communication, I would combine it with a minor or a double major in another discipline.

Any interesting in coding? Lots of computer jobs out there. Any young person who has the brains and doesn't have any other compelling interests should consider this.

Are they hiring Sales People? Sales is really about personality, more than a specific skill set. So they know what they are hiring for, but it's not predicted by your degree.

[KevinNYC]

but if I just dropout, pretty sure I have to pay for my tuition, SO...

You might be able to pause though. If you go to the college and explain, you're not sure what you want to do see if you could take a year off and then come back with your benefits intact. Perhaps there's even jobs/internships you can do.

My advice is if you are figuring yourself out, you might as well stay in college and do it. If you quit, it's harder to return. And there is value in a 4 year degree, in that most jobs you will want to do will look for that. Once you have career experience, it matters less.

Try to get some internships/real job experience as soon as you can, so you can see what type of stuff you like.

[DeuceWallaces]

Your short list is a waste of money and will get you no-where. I would dig deeper or take some time out until you are enlightened so you don't waste time and money.

[russwest0]

Those aren't the only ones on my list or whatever. Just the first few that have popped into my head. I could major in anything at this point. Since I don't know what I want to be it's a little harder to get motivated so I want an easier major.

Most majors are worthless because they are very over-satured and won't get you a job. Sports management is a very hard field. You often have to have connections to get anywhere in that field. Most sports management majors can't find career related jobs. A communication major is worthless. Music is tough as well.

Research it heavily. Don't go by what the college tells you as they are a for profit business that will tell you that every major is great because they want as many customers aka students as possible. Don't trust what BS corporate sites like yahoo tell you as well about "hot" majors. They are paid shills. Also don't trust what the older generations say because back when they graduated any major could get a job, but it is different these days. Example: Before 2008 an average accounting grad with an undergrad degree could get a staff accounting job, but now we have many students with masters, a CPA license, and good GPAs that cannot find accounting work. 20-30 years ago it was even easier. So if you ask an accounting grad from 1998 they would recommend you accounting. Ask recent grads or research it online.

I was in the same boat as you. My college was paid for because of scholarships and I actually earned a lot of extra scholarship money. I majored in accounting, which according to older people and the college was "hot" and I was in a school that was known for accounting...I had above average grades and previous internship experience (that I got through my dad's CPA) yet I cannot even find a free internship let alone a job and I passed most of my CPA exams. Most of my classmates are working non accounting related jobs.

Now granted I didn't pay for college and hate accounting, so I'm fine with it but if I had to redo it I would research heavily before selecting a major. I hear the technology and IT fields are good (but again research it) along with oil and gas fields.

Nothing is hot anymore unless you want to be an RNA; the economy is down. You are going to need to work very hard and be lucky to score a permanent gig in your desired profession.

[nightprowler10]

If you really just can't give a ****, do a business major.

I agree. Even nursing is oversatured, but the nursing schools won't tell their students that. My ex had to find out the hard way.

Assuming you're not trolling I'd do some research into the fields that are up and coming in the next 5 years. As other people have said major in economics, finance or accounting. You don't necessarily have to be good at math in these majors. I'd suggest looking into IT or Data Analytics.

[JebronLames]

You should try PCS. If you know the right people, it could pay really well.

[IamRAMBO24]

Don't get a degree and hopefully find a career, look for the career first and then see what you degree you need to get.

1. Look at the market place. What is in demand in your area? Sometimes you don't even need a 4 year degree for the job; sometimes all you need is a certificate you can get at a trade school.

Here is a little secret: what is in demand will pay a lot higher than what is not.

2. If you don't know what is in demand and want to get a degree that is open ended, then don't go for a degree that is specific to a field of study, but go for a general set of skills, for example, management, accounting, mathematics, and something as simple as microsoft computer office skills are so broad almost any company will hire you on the spot if you have a degree or certificate. If you want to work for yourself, then do what you love, but if you want to work for a big company, then work on the skills they are looking for.

Lol look at this idiot. You obviously have no clue, no education, and no life.

[IamRAMBO24]

Lol look at this idit. You obviously have no clue, no education, and no life.

My ideas are unique and different, but it's practical. Looking for a job in demand and then attaining the required skills to get the position? That's common knowledge dumbsh*t. For example, if a job requires knowledge of microsoft word, powerpoint, etc. then you are more likely to get that position with a 6 month certificate than someone who got a bachelors in music.

[IamRAMBO24]

I know idiots like you have been taught all your life by a failed educational institution to just duke it out with some sh*tty degree and hope for the best. That's not how the real world works. The goal should be the starting point: figure out what job you want, figure out how much you want to get paid, and then figure out what degree will allow you to attain that job. You can get yourself a psychology or music degree, but will the career that is available and is in demand looking for those types of degree?

You can't just say I"m gonna do this or that without looking at the market place first. What jobs are available in your area? What companies are the best to work at? Do you want to be self employed? What do you want your career to be? That is the question you should be asking first and foremost. I mean it's kind of pointless to get a degree and then find out later you can't get a job with it because the field is over saturated.

You obviously don't know sh*t about the market place. You will be surprise how companies are looking for microsoft office skills since it is the standard for most companies in america, and if you work for a big company, these jobs pay pretty well.

Companies are looking for immediate skills; and for example, like I said management skills, if you are certified as a manager, some companies will hire you straight into management, and this certification takes less than a year in some programs. Sure beats your bachelors in the archaeology of rocks, which is useless to the company, and you'll definitely be overlooked by someone who has the skills they want, but didn't go to school as long as you did.

Completely agree, though by the sounds of it, OP is quite clever.

From what I've gathered, Engineering is one of the hardest courses out just in terms of pure course work and workload. If you can dedicate yourself to that, you should, since I have never met an Engineer with a poor wage. Well, not here in Australia at least. 6 figures is the go...

What's your argument then fairy boy? You don't believe looking for a job that is in demand is relevant? You believe getting any degree will land you a job? You don't believe targetting a specific job and finding ways to attain that job is relevant? Stop acting like what you look like and man up a bit.

I have a bachelors. Graduated with honors. Attained a great career (not job). If I knew what I'm telling you kids right now, the road would of been a lot easier for me.

You got to study the market place; understand what jobs are in demand; figure out what companies are on the rise in the place you want to work at. For example, you would be better off collecting cans than being a doctor in San Fransico since the field is over saturated. You wouldn't want to get a psychology degree if you're in silicon valley so on and so forth. Figure out what the market place demands. Maybe you don't even need a bachelors; maybe that six figure salary only requires a specific certification that takes less time. Work smarter, not harder. Sure a lot of companies will hire you if you have a bachelors degree, but what I'm proposing is to figure out what specific degree the company is looking for and to target those degrees instead of something random like a BA in music.

Sheesh this albino is really reverting back to his days of posting pictures of his educational history onto the OTC by tryin to get other to do it, that's sad. The posters here are not you circa 2010 when u just had to show us ur credentials like its that serious to us.

U may be educated well in ur field and work hard but asking for people to post pics of diplomas and engagement rings for ur own personal 'proof' is the mark of a real sad sack loser.

Wallaces, u may want to seriously consider an extended hiatus from the oTc. It's for your own good. Your history of trying to mesh this message board into real life tangibility or consequence ( calling starface, having posters look at ur educational history records, etc.) is disconcerting to say the least.

Hope u can one day become a well adjusted man and not one that harbors such sick impulses to degrade and one up your peers, electronically or otherwise.

I'm going to pray for you, hope it helps.

Thanks for the rant, but you'll need to talk to Starface about entry into my fan-club. We got this guy looking for career advice and I call out Rambo and Smook; I'm obviously a douche trying to help out despite the fact I have a lot of experience in Academia and a real career while these two jokers (plus you) are couple a ****ing loser-nobodies.

Ahhh... another internet idiot who says other people are losers when he doesn't know them in real life. Real cool, buddy.

The only loser here is you. Making momma jokes and asking people to post pictures.

[ROCSteady]

And you know this how? Lol some ppl don't feel to need to prove credibility on a basketball site's off topics section.

I would think an educated man would have some explored evidence or reinforcement before reaching such a conclusion.

Nah it's just your posts suck. U used to be somewhat clever and snarky to add a little entertainment value for the rest of us, now there's nothing charming about your input. U act like a 70 year old grouch who tragically lost their wife. Just pure bitterness, like battery acid run thru ur veins.

Now u just provide nothing but faux elitism and look for every opportunity to shout down other grown men who may have diff experiences and convictions than you. Not the mark of an enlightened individual at all.

Yeah I used to be edgy but now my shtick is worn out. Probably could have said that 5 years before you even signed up here and it'd still be play'd out by 2 years. It's cool, stick up for Smook and Rambo; they're probably right and I'm probably wrong. Those two are clearly honest and putting out thoughtful advice while I'm just trolling, You guys are obviously on the forefront of basketball message board thought.

Again... why would I make up shit. I don't do that. You don't even know who I am. How can say im making all up when you have absolutely no clue who the person behind the computer is... you're dumber than a dead paris hilton. Definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Pretty clear you're just some troll from your posts. Jan 2014 is about all we need to know without even looking at your "content".

So you're saying im a troll JUST because I joined in Jan 2014? Nice logic. :oldlol: :oldlol:

Dawg, u tryna get ppl to post their diplomas and engagement rings, like its a challenge.

Not asking to see out of any reason other than spite or some personal vendetta to feel or prove more accomplished. That's wacked any way you slice it.

Then ur last sentence is to downplay the exchanges and validity of the board yet u want to have fully realized, accomplishment stroking personal battles on here.

Does not compute

Well if you were paying attention my primary reason was the content of your posts; your join date is just supplementary material.

I like your ebonic/urban sentence structure. Makes you sound tough with a hint of street hunger. You're obviously a tough guy.

[DeuceWallaces]

Unfortunately I have to go to bed. You guys enjoy talking up your fake relationships, careers, and diamond engagement rings. I love the internet!

[KingBeasley08]

DeuceWallaces must have a real boring life to be honest. Being bitter on a basketball forum leads me to think that he lacks excitement in his real life

Yeah I'm so bored. Taking a half hour out of my day late on a Friday night to call out some losers clearly indicates I'm sad, lonely, and have nothing better to do. Who's more boring, the loser goofing on losers or the loser commenting on said loser?

DouchbagWallaces is sexually attracted to men and lives in an apartment with pictures of justin bieber everywhere. He gets his sofas from the junkyard and eats rats

Or more like someone who doesn't like to post from their phone and looks for shortcuts in spelling and grammar to say what they wanna say, like a text message.

But but but .... I've had articles printed by outlets affiliated with the University of Maryland!!

So haha, Im Bonafide, neener neener neener.

Now I can talk down to ppl and their varied life experiences

Not that but your overall posting style indicates a lack of much going on in your life. You might have some mediocre 30,000 a year job with an ugly girlfriend or hell, you could be some brad pitt type. I could definitely be wrong. But I think it's obvious you fall under the former :oldlol:

you just cemented his case for you being a loser

as well as your 2nd round nomination for the worst poster on this board.

Engineering is where it's at. Sucks major balls during classes but it'll be worth it when you graduate
Do you even like engineering?

[ballup]

Completely agree, though by the sounds of it, OP is quite clever.

From what I've gathered, Engineering is one of the hardest courses out just in terms of pure course work and workload. If you can dedicate yourself to that, you should, since I have never met an Engineer with a poor wage. Well, not here in Australia at least. 6 figures is the go...
Not sure how the Australian currency workss, but in the US, 40k is minimum and less than 10 percent (not an exact figure, just one based on old research) gets over 100k

[KingBeasley08]

Do you even like engineering?
Parts of it. I enjoy math and physics. Chem isn't something I enjoy but imo it's easier than the other two

[russwest0]

I get what everyone is saying about being a slave to the system and shit like that. I agree with rambo's views on education in america being mostly pointless. It's just when you are 17, graduate from HS and don't know what the hell you want to do, with good enough grades and a high ass ACT/SAT score to have college paid for, it's hard as hell not to just go to college.

Still have no idea what the hell I want to do, just figure I might as well finish out with a 4 year degree to, at the least, guarantee me a lower middle class lifestyle.

Well I'm getting my PhD from your Avatar. If you live in Rockville I'm assuming it's with your parents or in some shit apartment; am I wrong?

Aren't you our resident faux-druglord?

[Lamar Doom]

you're gonna get a shitty job you hate either way, just pick whatever degree you think will be easiest to complete and maybe lead to a better paying job, then travel as much as you can before you start selling your time to the machine until you die. but you're not gonna excel at anything enough for your education to really matter so don't over think it. just get it done and consume until you expire.

Wrong, my location is actually the same as yours :lol
