Okay. Here we go. Same guy from above with the International Commerce and Business Admin degrees from Texas A&M. Live in Houston. I would like to work in the business sector whether it be a business analyst or marketing/finance whatever because business interests me. There were 2 things I've wanted since I was a kid. Either join the military, spend 20 years in it and retire as a 1 star general (or colonel) or get an office job and work my way up either through the same company or just jumping around and retire as a VP or something. Either way, it's gotta be the top. That's my ambition. Business isn't panning out so far because no jerbs so I went to the recruiter's the other day. My latest ASVAB score was 95 so they're talking to get me into a nuclear engineering program or cryptology.
That's where I'm at so far.

its not a bad thing if you win. just sounds like it.. the amount of times i interviewed fresh people out of uni with 2 degrees who wanted to be a ceo and named a few things they'd be happy doing in the meantime hah.

not to be a cunt but the tangibles are standard, i have people I've hired for $500 a month (3rd world) that have all that..

I think probably your asset would be your capability cos your 'tangibles' as you put it are out-sourcable to the third world, again, not even trolling..

If you have a decent head on your shoulders pick a hard science application of it, you can always move into the business side later.

I've met a lot of CEOs and there are very few I respect/I look at as betters or equals.. Many of them went from hard science to their management posts - accountants, engineers, ee's, cs's etc.. I wouldn't recommend BA's tbh- seems like a shitty procedural job and to be honest the smart ones I've worked with are wasted since they should, many times, be the executive instead of having their reports ignored and recommendations not implemented by bone head execs. All I've met are trying to get out and caught in a world of certifications to move over to project management then program management. Good pay but no executive control they just get told to make it work so lots of headaches and the PMs I know are trying to get MBAs and become C level so they can run things their way..

Anyway just a thought I've seen it work for some people... While you're young you have the least to lose, especially if you presumably can always have a roof over your head at your folks place.

anyway good luck.. its early morning here and I have to get some sleep. Believe it or not I'm giving a talk at a university tomorrow ..

Did it sound like it? I just meant I would be happy to get a grunt work job right now and work my ass off with the goal of being at the top 20 years down the road. I thought that was standard. I've also looked at going back to college for a second time around degree or Master's in Econ but I can't afford that right now. My family's poor enough and it was great that I got the full ride and am debt free. That's also why I looked at the military because they could pay for that education down the line. Right now, there's not much mobility where I'm at. I even applied for a lab assistant/researcher position but they said I needed a Bio degree and work experience. That's the problem I'm hitting with job searching, entry level jobs that are outside my field or need prior experience. I've talked to some companies about just possibly working for free at an intern capacity without having to be paid or being liable for me being on their business property but it all boiled down to paper work and the law says they're still liable for me even if I wasn't an employee. I'm trying my hardest but it's looking slim. I'm still trying though.
Also, thank you for talking it out with me. It helps.

you have to realize that those are skills the very technologically-savvy among us developed in middle school (myself included). Having worked in industry over a few summers my excel skills have improved significantly but that's really the only change.

that's the kind of stuff I bother to put on my resume. Language fluency is nice but it won't get you a job.

I know my CS and CE friends had to take classes in those but is it possible for me to learn them by myself? That's also one of the hard part for learning Excel for me. You'd need tangible data and records to do anything complicated and I don't have that. Do you think community colleges will let you take classes in those if you're not looking for a degree from them?

Here's the situation of a bunch of professors from a school that is quite low in the Top 50 schools for accounting.

http://database.collegemedia.com/databases/salaries/salary.html?schools=39&yr=2008&fname=&depart=Accountancy&submit_form=Submit

Note that it includes new assistants', associate and full professors. The data is years old and has inflated since then.
These schools are both public- private schools at the top pay considerably more. These are also raw salaries and include no consulting, executive education, textbook/case sales or even summer research stipends and grants.

You have to realize that accounting and financial academics have outside options that are Wall Street, Big 4 accounting and other high-levels of pay. You have to give them quite a bit to keep them on.

ROTC, I did six enlisted in the Guard before going active. I'll hit 16 years this month and just picked up O-4 last year.

>>57435
Oh fuck. Chances of me enlisting and being pushed through OCS in 2-3 years? The recruiters keep talking about how good it'd be to be non-com before turning officer but I see it more as a long shot. What do you think?

>>57451
If you've already got a degree and a reasonably good head on your shoulders I don't know that it would be all that unreasonable. I'm really not very well informed on the OCS route right now and I don't know what has changed with the recent draw-down. I thought there used to be an option to go immediately after basic. I really couldn't tell you if it's still an option though. I do know that it's much harder to get an ROTC Commission on active duty these days now though. When I went through if you wanted to go active it was very easy to get. These days it's much more competitive and a lot of kids are being pushed in the Guard and Reserves.

I'm fluent. It sounds like it's hard as shit getting into the CIA though. I've had a trespassing incident with my uni freshman year (stupid shit in a construction site) that was a warning and expunged though. My grades and major aren't up to par with what's been said though. One of my professors, a former CIA station chief told me that they're mostly looking at master and phd candidates now. He himself was in law school when they picked him up. My cousin's best friend is in the FBI though and he's setting up a conversation with him. Should I be discouraged to try and join the CIA anyways with all of this? I've graduated college so can't really intern with Langley like you.

There's no harm in trying. If you make it, it's one of the most rewarding workplaces around. The FBI is more politcal, but in CI they're good guys and go bonkers for foreign languages. Best of luck either way, you sound great for either option.

I think I'll be pretty happy going to the gentlemen's clubs in DC for CIA vets. If you're NASA guy, enjoy socializing with awkward fucktard virgin scientists.

Also, a note about the FBI: if you apply for a SA position, they won't automatically put you in the division of your choice. Chances are, if you graduate the academy, you'll be pouring through narcotics records in St.Louis before doing something exciting.

No, I mean 30 years in the DC intelligence grinder. You don't sound like you've even been in for a year.

Huh. I probably work near you, anon.

Any British people here? Do you feel poor?

When Americans talk about their job they always complain because "I'm only earning $50,000 and taxes are high and fuel prices are high"

But in the UK that's a fuck load of money. Most people are lucky to earn over £20,000 here. Taxes are very high, petrol is like $12 a gallon (compared to the US's 6 or w/e), and it's more expensive to live.

People speak about the UK like some super rich country but when you live here, unless you're in London, it feels like you're a poor bastard.

Well $50,000 is £30,000, but Americans always seem so much richer.

They have well paying jobs, cheap prices, large air-conditioned houses! All Americans seem to be able to afford cars (a luxury commodity in the UK), plasma TVs, smartphones, Apple laptops, et cetera! The only thing they lack on is healthcare, but Obama is sorting that out.

How do you guys do it? IS America really rich, or the UK really poor?

>>56040

Calm down. Nobody is going to hire you just because you speak multiple languages. Eventually it's your qualification that makes you interesting to companies. This is currently happening in Germany.

>>58876

I don't have a whole lot of preference either way, but I'm interested mostly in corporate/business side of things. Maybe natural resources/environmental stuff as well.

Mostly I just want to enter into a field that will allow me to work my nuts off for cash.

>>59200
Well, I would say that if you're attending UBC if you want to break into Bay St. you are going to have to work very hard and ensure you are near the top of the class. There is already a huge talent pool in Toronto with Osgoode/UofT (not to mention the rest of the Ontario schools) so my understanding is that those from out of province really live and die by being at the top of their class.

Now, if you want to work your nuts off for cash, I would suggest staying away from Bay St. anyway. They treat you like garbage and you don't learn even half of what students/associates do in smaller practices. It takes several years before you are pulling in the ridiculous coin that you're dreaming about now, and even then its never a guarantee. So if you want to get in make cheddar and get out as quickly as possible, not the best career path.

The best way to make alot of money quick is to hang your own shingle. I would have done this myself already but the problem with my field is that it takes years to develop expertise enough to be able to put yourself out in the marketplace as a professional. If you are an extrovert/rainmaker type you can make a shit ton of money so fast in this industry its ridiculous.

>>59200
Also, for Corporate Law, my suggested upper year course selection would look like this (ie I would not hire someone without most if not all of these on their transcript):

Commercial Law, Bankruptcy and Insolvency, Restitution, Trusts, Contracts II, Business Associations, Tax Law I, Corporate Tax, Corporate Finance, Securities + any capstone business focused seminar that UBC offers.

>>59326

Thanks for the info, anon.

I don't have much desire to get out to Toronto/Bay St, just wouldn't really mind relocating if that's where the cash is. Truthfully I'd prefer to remain in Vancouver but our legal market pays associates quite a bit less than is standard in places like Toronto or Calgary, unfortunately (from what I gather).

What fields would you recommend as being the best for going solo? I wouldn't mind putting in a good amount of time at a big firm and then breaking free later on... But I'm definitely interested in following the cheddar wherever it is.

If it helps you provide any insight - I'm coming from a background in Philosophy so I won't be able to get into IP/Patent stuff - I'm assuming certain options are similarly restricted to Business degree holders.

My LSAT score was in the 99th percentile but I'm told that this doesn't exactly correlate with success in law school, so I don't want to make any stupid decisions based on assuming I'll be at the top of the class.

>>59441
The IP law area is more of an outlier from my understanding, but kudos on identifying that already. As for other areas, I can tell you from personal experience that your philosophy background will not harm you in any way. I have an undergraduate in social science and I'm practicing taxation law which is considered one of the more challenging fields. Mostly accounting students go this way, but not coming from that background gave me a huge advantage in my opinion. Do not let your cohorts with business degrees intimidate you it doesn't matter one bit. In fact the philosophy background will probably be a huge plus.

As for which way to go to make the big bucks fast? I would say that Real Estate is probably the easiest, but lately alot of NCA students have been clogging up that market given its all they are qualified to practice. I'm not sure it matters all that much what area you practice in if you're a real ambitious person who is quite frankly more of a "businessperson" than a lawyer. When you start wanting to make the big money its far more about growing your practice, schmoozing and finding clients. I don't really have that in my blood so I stuck to tax - its a growth area, and once you make a name for yourself you can make ridiculous money. It just takes far longer to become adept at it.

Also, welcome to the point where the LSAT means jack shit. Congrats on your high score but do yourself a favour and don't get cocky - it has nothing to do with your success going forward. You will get out what you put in. The trick in law school is to outwork everyone else. You're finally at a school where everyone is on a level intellectual playing field, so whoever goes the hardest will win.
