What is your major, what year are you in and what will you be hoping to do for work once you graduate?

Major is Mass Communications and Journalism. Get my associate degree this summer at Miami Dade College.

I will be working in the media world. I already have a job offer waiting for me right before I graduate, but I always have had numerous opportunities.

Get some work experience and build your resume with credibility. It's how you do well in this field. The education isn't enough if you want the good jobs in this field.

Financial Economics major. Will be starting my 4th and final year this fall. To be completely honest I am not sure what I will be doing or care at this point. That is what the 4th year is for to figure out what you will do after it. I know I eventually will go to grad school to get a masters, not sure whether I will start a job out of college, go straight to grad school, or of course service for this great country of ours is always a good way to go as well. We'll see, but definately look forward to what the next year will bring.

Getting two B.S.'s, one in Political Science and one in International Affairs with the I.A. Degree being with Honors (Honors degree's from FSU mean you have to spend two semesters formulating, writing, and defending a thesis) and will graduate this April as a senior.

As for a job, right now I would prefer to work in intelligence in either the CIA, DOD, or the State Dept. However, govt jobs virtually requires a Masters, so I will either go to Vanderbilt or UF for my Masters in Latin American Studies and might even serve for four years in the Army especially if I can't get a full scholarship from Vandy or UF.

Mass Comm major with a concentration in print journalism.
Senior(hopefully?)...gotta get my shit together and take a ton of credits so I can graduate this summer hopefully.

As for life after college...I'm just hoping to get a job doing SOMETHING. Ultimate goal is/was to be a sports writer, but we'll see what happens. I actually detailed my situation regarding the sports writing thing in a RR thread last week(Bored at Work), don't really feel like typing all that shit again. To summarize, I have a lot of writing experience and am unwilling to start from the bottom again(high school sports). So if an opportunity comes up to cover pro or college sports, I'd take it. But no high school for me. Stubborn? Sure. Stupid? Absolutely. Do I care? No.

Most likely moving back home or in with one of my brothers when I graduate and can't find employment. Or harassing DAWOOFDADDY into getting me a job.

Actually, last Friday I was getting wasted with some coworkers/bosses for my internship and my project manager said she'd give me a job once I graduate. Clearly it was the alcohol talking, because she and I both know I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing.

Finance Major at UT, entering my third year.

Right now, I'm looking at lots of entrepreneurial classes. Got started with a little business last year and am looking at expanding it this next year. Hopefully, I'll be able to expand it enough so that I already have something to work with once a graduate.

Otherwise, on-campus recruiting is great here. And Bloomberg is fun to play around with. So I can see myself working for a major investment bank.

Long term goal? To work at the United States Federal Reserve.
