[numbah1grimey]

Anyone in the Art Department? Ie. Fashion, Graphic, or Industrial Design? Im currently majoring in graphic design but I plan on doubling into fashion as well.What's the salary like for up-and-coming designers. And, is there really a "maxing out" point when it comes to being in that field? Ive beenartistically inclined my whole entire life and that's pretty much what I love to do. Hopefully I can get at a design firm or company, Learn the ropes,than, start my own product/company. Thanks!

Yea I was originally going to do Comp Sci or Comp Engineering, but I feel I am more "Business Savy" so to speak, then to be a "Labrat" in the basement all day.

I`m going into my Junior year, any cats who are in the game now have any advice? Yall can hit me with a PM, I`m trying to decide what field I want to focus inprimarily. I`m looking at Database Analyst, but not sure.

Fortunately, that's what a IVY League degree would do..

I have a good 1.5-2yrs left. My major is Finance or I might switch it up and major in International Business. and minor finance, and french.

I really don't care what I'm doing after I graduate as long as it's abroad, and making me enough $$ to live comfortably.

Any Communication majors? Preferably in PR/Advertising/Marketing

I was saying 'Yo' like, 'Yo, what's up. I'm in the field, what do you wanna know?'

B.S. in Health Sciences from Florida International University in Miami.

Currently working on a Doctorate in Physical Therapy, the mean starting salary for a physical therapist in FL is about 65k.

I've been working for a therapist for the past 3 years and future associate in a private practice upon completion of my Doctorate, so I'm looking at250k+.

I know for a fact I want to be in business, but its such a broad category, preferably end up travelling a lot and such.

Grand marquis and skylarks for days.

Yessir, Im gonna live in the hood for the first couple years and just stack my chips low key. Then Im movin out and gettin a dam hangar for thevehicles and some little house, cuz im not gonna be using it except for eatin and sleepin anyway. The only reason I wont stay in an urban/hood type spot is cuzonce I start making money, someones gonna notice eventually and try to pull something.

I mean that might not be exactly what happens, but Im gonna enjoy my remainin years in a crappy area (it feels so much more like home to me lol) and theneventually move on. But Ill definitely be gettin the whip game proper. I already promised my pops a Lambo too cuz he ended up not buying one a few years ago.

STILL LOOKIN FOR ADVICE BTW!!!

literally 3 posts above you i said i'm majoring in industrial design. i'd say there's a maximum salary if you're working for a firm, butif you become one of the top designers then it's limitless.

 

[hyphysole]

If anyone is in CIS, how much was your starting salary? What did you do? I think most CIS majors become system administrators or database analyst

you are acting like becoming a CEO is a certain thing for you, slow your role.

no, Im just saying I want to set myself up for the path best suited for advancing into an executive position as quickly as possible, and I wouldappreciate it if somebody could hekp me out, because no one at school will help me and my family kinda cant

either way, ill get the money

 

[angelzdope]

^^ Nothing wrong with dreaming big.


Advice: Consulting would be a good industry to go into. They breed a lot of CEOs. Look to join a top consulting firm (i.e. McKinsey, Deloitte). As forundergrad, you could pretty much major in anything. When I was interviewing for McKinsey, I met employees who's majors ranged from Art History toEnglish... mine is Chemical Engineering. But after you get your BA, you should definitely go to a top school and get an MBA. Then join a company and work yourway up. This is of course is only one of the many ways that a person could become a CEO. Also, be aware that the higher you climb on the corporate ladder, themore political things will become. To say that networking is key would be a vast understatement.


Hope that helps!
