Never even considered Business until now-senior in college
Hiya,
I go to a top 25 private school majoring in Poli Sci. Until now, I wanted to join the foreign service or go to law school and have adjusted my courses to that track...however I think I would hate a career in biglaw after meeting people first hand who suffer in it.
With only a poli sci major, a few intro econ classes, what is my best track? Do you need a business /finance related job after to have a good chance at b-school? or does UGRAD gpa+ gmat score have good weight?
First off, obviously take anything I say with a grain of salt as I'm just a lowly intern...
However it seems that the usual route isn't b-school straight out of college. Candidates usually are applying after a few years work experience. Did you actually have interest in law? By extension, do you actually have interest in business?
good luck..you'll be competing with students with real majors and already have internships at BB firms.
lol
What year in school are you?
At a good school with a solid GPA and a bit of hustle, I don't see any reason you can't get a business (whatever that means) or finance job. You need to figure out what in the hell it is you want to do though.
damn i have no idea what those short hands are..... I am more on the creative side, and have concrete plans for my own business. However, Id like to work in the real world for a year or 2, save up some $$ to pay off loan debts
Working "in the real world" is a bad/addictive habit for people meant to be entrepreneurs. If you can bootstrap your business idea, do it now. You will never have less to lose.
Surely during these three years you have heard of people mentioning options outside of law right? Know your end goal and work backwards to find your short-term goal. Do whatever it takes to pay the bills and network your way in.
