Econ & accounting here. Going postgrad econ cause a bachelors in it is useless and its interesting. If I get a good offer for accounting I'd just take it. I'm just doing this for security and make a money base to finally pursue art.

Plan on going into Healthcare Administration, which is technically a division of Business Administration.

As for the future, I want to get as many internships as possible and work for either a hospital as an administrator or a big name insurance agency as a medical coding/billing consultant.

He probably filled required hours with non-subject matter related electives like most universities require. He more than likely had some sort of programming, technology, or systems engineering courses throughout the duration of his degree.

hey I'm in the same position. Can you tell about how strange it was applying for jobs and them seeing you were Philosophy? I'm trying to make a strong github so they don't doubt my skills. Any advice would be really useful, i'm graduating soon and am wondering if i should just go back to school for a CS degree. I have half the requirements done.

Yes and no. I did fill it with non-major subject matter (e.g. comp sci courses), but I'd say most of my knowledge is self-taught. I had to get a bitch-level helpdesk job when I got out (I was willing to move out of state), and asked to learn everything I could while on the job. When I saw offers that were better or for different work, I took them.

Now I'm year two as a sysadmin, different office. Pay could be better, but my job effectively stops when I leave the office, so not being on-call is a big fucking plus. So is remoting in from home to browse the chon. Like right now.

I've been told that if you get this far into IT, you figure out how to get enterprise experience by any means necessary. Murder some IT dinosaur if you have to, just get the work, absorb everything you can, then bounce to a smaller place or think about management/consulting.

It is pretty disappointing that I haven't been able to use my degree, though.
