I would agree with this, however make sure to be semi-smart with your money. Throwing away $600 a month in student loans every month blows. If you decide to study abroad, don't spend money like your on a 6 month long spring break.
Thought about this, but decided Iowa State was better for me than DMACC. No going back now.
Completely valid, but see bold. That tends to be a pretty darn big problem for a fair amount of people.
My undergrad major was environmental science, but it might has well been agronomy since almost every elective I took was an agronomy class. I eventually did my graduate work at a different school in soil science.
If you want to be almost guaranteed a job, go into an agriculture major. The College of Ag and Life Sciences has a 98% placement rate within 6 months of graduation. It was also just ranked 5th best college IN THE WORLD in agriculture and forestry!

Agree with this. The cost of college is an absolute pain. Which is really too bad because it essentially forces students to choose a major sooner rather than later, and have less opportunities to explore other programs.
My degree is in Finance and I just got my MBA. I cannot comment on a degree in Finance since I am currently not in a job related to it. Although I am hoping that will change soon. However, I read a lot of articles saying that people with Finance degrees are highly sought after, even if it is not a direct Finance role. One reason my current job hired me because of my Finance degree even though any educational background could do it.
One thing that hindered me is that I graduated in 2010 when the economy was still bad and jobs were still scarce. I was lucky to get a job, but not in my field of study. If you are interested in Finance, I would make these recommendations. 1) Join a club related to business and be heavily involved in it (Finance Club or some other business club). 2) Get a good internship (I made the mistake of being only focused on trading/investments internships and kind of ignored the corporate finance. Looking back it was a bad mistake and I have now found that I actually like the corporate and accounting side of a business).

ON the topic of internships. Don't be afraid to negotiate your intern offer especially if you have several offers. You would be surprised what more you can get just by asking.
Another piece of advice. Even though you don't know what to do, go in with some ideas of things you could do. Doesn't mean you have to stick with them, just don't finish with a degree in philosophy and realize there isn't really a job market for people who philosophize.
My roommate is majoring in this and he literally says that finance companies are looking for philosophy majors. I just laughed and laughed and asked why not major in finance then? ******* idiot.

Not sure how our journalism program works. We used to have this one poster on here that's in journalism and he's pretty good at it but he doesn't post anymore. Not sure what happened to him.
Anyhow, I don't know what the hell Greenlee Journalism thingy is, but 99% of graduates that are a part of it have a job within their first 6 months of graduating. I have a buddy who got a job at the Register before they even graduated and they've had front page articles already.
If I could go back, I'd be in journalism, no doubt.
