General Business: What did you study in school?
1 to 12 of 12
-
We had a poll a few weeks back asking if you worked in the field you studied for. "Nowhere near it" easily won.
So I'm wondering what you either studied in college or plan to study if you're just starting. Then, what is your day job?
I studied advertising. Worked in the industry for about a year, then made the move to web design/development. Not sure if I'll ever get back into the cycle of the traditional ad industry.
How bout yourselves?

I studied Business Administration - Financial Planning. I work for a bank in the mutual funds department. I'm not in the exact field as I still need more work experience (just graduated) but in my case, what I do is very related to what I studied.

Bachelor of Science in Computing Science. I'm more of a Business Systems Analyst now, so I do some development but am more about business processes and user requirements.
Investoid - Finance and Investing in Perspective -
Studied Multimedia Design (web, interactive) - then filmmaking. One degree, many many valuable classes that I occasionally act on professionally, but endearingly tinker with actually, or conceptually (one day I would like to...).
However, the entire time I was in school I got into a field called Litigation Support Services - did very well, ran as far away from it as I could. Now I am in an entrepreneurial/start up limbo of new learning.

Finishing up my final year in Business Management and Media Studies (web development concentration). After graduation, Ill use the business background more than web development, but would love to go into development and design.

This is a little off the post's topic but....
I am having a hard time deciding on what I want to go to school for. It's either business, law or medicine.
I have a great business background so it would be an easier transition and the logical choice.
Law is in the middle because I have a good understanding for the law and I could go corporate law and use some of my experience.
Medicine is the third one and it is quite a ways off from the other two, but it intrigues me the most. I like the idea of constantly learning and helping people. I know I have the commitment to do it.
What do you guys do when you have a tough decision to make? What steps do you take to make that decision?
Any help? :P

Consider the feasibility of each of your options. If you know you need to get out of school in a short time, law or medicine are not feasible. Law and medical degrees (unless you go into nursing) will require at least 6 years of schooling. Along with feasibility comes the financial obligations to it. Can you afford to pay for the many years of schooling? Are you going to have to take loans out for anything over the 4 years to attend law school or medical school? Loans add up quickly and take a long time to pay off.

My major was imaging and digital arts with a concentration in computer animation. I originally wanted to get into special effects for movies...but lost interest well into the degree.
Now I'm a technical project manager for a big media company (working in the advertising aspect), and doing the whole business stuff on the side.
