Can my major be completely different from my intended minor?

I am currently a sophomore in a community college. This fall, I will be transferring to a four year university with a Junior standing. I am going to declare my major as Accounting. However, I have had an interest in teaching since I was young. I would like to minor in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (the school offers this particular minor) as I love to travel and would like to teach somewhere other than the US. Yet, I am worried that my advisers will try to steer me away from that path as they are totally unrelated. I'm not sure if adding this minor would steer me away from the path I need to take in order to graduate on time. Yet, this is something that I would really like to try in case Accounting really isn't for me. I would just like to hear some other opinions. Sincerely, A conflicted college student #college #major #help #college-jobs #college-minor #majors-and-minors

What kinds of summer jobs should I be looking for?

I am working on getting a job for this summer and I have been applying to every single place I can think of. The problem i have right now is that I just finished my freshman year of college and the place I worked in high school recently shut down. No business wants to hire and train someone to work for them for three months before they have to go back to school, so I am at a bit of a loss. Does anyone have any ideas for what I should be looking for in terms of getting a job for this summer? #college #college-jobs

For a college graduate: If you could go back to your freshman year of college, what is one thing you wish you would have known, and one thing that you would do differently?

I know that now, as a senior in high school, there are a few things that I wish I could go back and tell my younger self... such as "don't worry about what other people think of you," "be more outgoing," and "apply for more scholarships your junior summer." In the same way, I am sure that there are practical and valuable things that college graduates wish they would have known when they were first starting college. I was wondering if any people who are now in the work force and have graduated recently or a while ago would share their thoughts! #college-major #graduate-school #graduate #experience #college-jobs #first-job #graduate-recruitment #career-goals

While in college, is it possible to balance a social life, extra-curricular activities (such as student government), a part-time job AND maintain a 4.0 GPA? Or is a 4.0 even a realistic goal?

In high school, I am pretty involved my various activities (NHS, sports, job, youth group, music, etc.), but still manage to keep a 4.0 GPA. A few of my friends who are currently in college, who had a 4.0 in high school, talk about how difficult to keep even a 3.8, much less 4.0. #college #college-jobs #social-media #extracurriculars #gpa

How do you go about finding a summer internship?

I have just finished my sophomore year at the College of Charleston and was not sure how to go about finding a summer internship before I headed back home to New York. I'm a double major in Business Administration and Hospitality and Tourism so at my college there is a list server for Tourism majors you can sign up to receive emails of local job openings and internships available in the Charleston area. It's very convenient and useful as many of my friends who are staying in Charleston over the summer were able to find some great jobs through it. Now that I am back home in New York I'm struggling to find a job and I was curious as to whether there was something like that here, something that students could sign up for and receive notifications of job listings in a specific area, for a specific major or certain age such as a college student. #business #internships #college-jobs #hospitality #tourism #new-york #openings

Does it look better to do an internship or to get a job on a resume?

I'm currently a senior in high school and will be attending college in the fall. I hope to become a doctor, and thus must be thinking ahead to medical school. I'm debating between getting a job and getting an internship this summer (and was also thinking about my time throughout college). I was wondering if it looks better on a resume to get a job, as this shows responsibility and will help me earn money to pay my tuition, or to get an internship, as this helps me gain experience and work with professionals. #college #doctor #jobs #internships #resume #medical-school #undergraduate #college-jobs

If going to college makes you over-qualified for entry level positions, but not getting entry level experience makes you under-qualified for other jobs, how do I get a job without getting ripped off by anl unpaid internship?

I know unpaid internships are the usual go-to option for experience, however I also know employers expect them and yet are not more likely to choose an applicant from their own pool of interns. I find the entire practice immoral and often times it can be illegal, and I would prefer to avoid this practice if possible. This is especially true since often times students can't afford to do one, as it ends up indirectly costing students money and time they could be spending getting the most out of their extremely expensive college education. Any suggestions would be appreciated. #college #jobs #job #programming #college-jobs #job-market
