If I switched my major from Econ to Advertising. Would this increase or decrease my chances a getting a good job after college? I would love to hear from professionals in the Advertising and Marketing industries.
I am currently an Economics major and an Advertising minor. However I was thinking of switching those around to a Major in Advertising and a minor in Economics. I am interested in working in the marketing and/or advertising industry but I am open to working other industries (business operations, HR, sales, maybe finance.) But also I am worried about job security post college. I would love to get some input on this before I make any important decisions. Thank you! :) #college #career-counseling #marketing #economics #advertising
Army guy looking for educational help, career wise.
Hey guys, I've lurked on this site for all of 3 hours before realizing actual professionals respond on here, which is what I'm looking for. Anyways, I'm David. I've been in the Army since I was 17(got parents consent/signature). I'm 21 now and currently serving in the National Guard. I have recently come to a road block in my educational career. I've been at a community college for 2 whole years now and I have been on the path to becoming a Registered nurse, since in the Army I'm a combat medic and have some medical experience and certifications under my belt. Now recently, I'm starting to feel as if the medical field isn't my true passion, and tbh I still don't think I've found a major I'm truly passionate about, but I have always had an interest in economics and businesses and how they're able to make money and stay in business etc etc. Should I stay on the path to becoming an RN, or switch to majoring in Finance or Economics. Or would perhaps another business related degree be more marketable and valuable or should I pursue even something like engineering. Any advice/help/opinions/tough love is much appreciated! #business #engineering #nursing #finance #economics
Does living and growing up in a cosmopolitan area affect an individual's creativity?
People are who are intelligent aren't necessarily intellectual. I read a piece by a professor at Swarthmore College about how intellectual people see links between ideas and theories. Also, the majority of people in my town are part of the "Creative Class." Does the rise of the creative class contribute to more cosmopolitan areas? #business #psychology #research #communications #economics #sociology #public-relations #public-speaking
