When I first entered school, I had narrowed my choice of a major down to 2. I either wanted a family therapy degree or a business administration degree (two completely different fields, I know.) I finally ended up choosing the business degree as it seemed to have more career choices.

So, it never fails that any time I tell someone I’m getting a business admin degree, they ask what careers I can do with it. I figured I’d answer the question once and for all. Here are just a few of the choices of careers I will have upon graduation.

• Accountant
• Admin exec
• Consultant
• Banker
• HR executive
• Store manager
• School administrator
• And more!!!

And with a business administration degree, the sources of employment are limitless. There are government jobs, private sector, retail, non-profit, and more. In short, you can work anywhere and do just about anything with this degree. That’s why it was so attractive to me.

I think this degree is going to be even more profitable now that the economy is suffering. By not limiting my choices, I give myself a better chance of landing a job in these tough times. Plus, I’ve done a few internships too, so those should come in handy.

I am studying to become a pastry chef and I love it!  It is actually much more stressful than I thought it would be but I am so happy!  My classes are so great!  When I graduated from high school, I was really worried about going to college.  I did well and I made pretty good grades but I just could not image going to school for another four years.  I love my classes at the culinary institute because we actually do things.  It’s hands on and we actually do the techniques while we are learning about them. 

I had so many classes in high school that I sat in, bored out of my mind, wondering when on earth I was ever going to use the information.  I never feel that way at my culinary school.  I know that I will use everything that we learn and practice.  There were different culinary arts degrees that I could choose from.  I definitely made the right choice with the pastry arts program.  It is perfect for me!  I am so excited to graduate and start working.  I have even had some jobs already.  I’ve done some baking for a few weddings and showers.  Maybe I can even do something like that full time after I graduate.
