Original intent was to be a doctor.
Enrolled as pre-med major.
Fell in love with chemistry
Switched majors
Graduated with a BS in Chemistry and no profitable job prospects in the Valley.
Project management fail!
Luckily, I fell into tutoring.
Wanted my masters.
Started in education, switched to business, because teaching high schoolers is crazy!
What led you to decide on an education in business?
What are your goals after you get your degree?
That’s my husband.

Banks are great places for undergraduate business students to work. They are generally flexible with your schedule, and many of them will pay for your college if you get good grades.
A lot of companies have similar policies, and a little research might get your college paid for.

Not bad.
Look especially at the IT Careers.
