Advertising major graduating in March and feeling pretty good about future employment. If you're gonna do non STEM, be in a hub for your industry, network, and do internships. A little luck wouldn't hurt either. Those internships should pay. At least for advertising, unpaid internships mean you ain't doing a lick of real work. You'll be somebody's secretary, so enjoy the class credit. I'm on my third internship, second with an agency. Get comfortable with data, math, and analysis. Even in the spooky world of advertising employers have expectations that new hires can parse through mountains of data to sell ketchup. bloops fucked around with this message at 23:42 on Jan 19, 2016 |

Trades are cool. It's gotta be vastly more rewarding to create or repair something then spend all day bouncing meeting to meeting or holding telephone conferences.

I did that thing where I figured out what the lowest grades are needed to graduate with a 3.5+. I am completely over school right now and there's 7 weeks to go. I will miss the butts, though.

Gotta learn how to say no to stuff. Being an office hero by taking on too much poo poo is dumb. All your work will suffer or some will be great and the rest mediocre.

Worst grade I've gotten in school was a C+ for American Sign Language 103. It was a mercy grade. That teacher had every right to fail me, but chose not to. She knew I had to get through her class for degree requirements.

Most helpful classes I took were the following: research writing writing for PR & advertising copywriting excel/pivot table stuff a math course Go figure that being able to manipulate data, solve simple problems, and clearly write would be the most useful poo poo.

The Rat posted:Excel has a camera function?! Yes! Enable it through options. Google for the exact method. I use it for data tables and high/low comparison pulls. All that poo poo gets camera'd to the client-facing excel tab, so whenever I'm providing analysis, I'll just hit refresh on the workbook and everything is all nice and updated.

Actual decent classes I give a poo poo about I'd write them myself, but this English 101 bullshit (rhetorical analysis, WOO!) is going to make me lose my loving mind with how terrible and pedantic it is. Just do it yourself. Not worth getting busted for plagiarism.
