Question About My Career? 10 Points For Best Answer~?
I am 23 years old and about to graduate with a finance degree from College. I knew, going into the program that I would NEVER EVER work in finance (I suck at mathematics), but my father said I must study finance for something practical but, after that, he would pay for me to study whatever subject that I want at the postgraduate level.
Now, is time to apply, but I don’t know what to study:
1. MBA Programs – lower-tier programs, not Harvard-type, so that I could work as a Mitt Romney-type business executive; or I was thinking about teaching business at the college level, for which MBA is prerequisite.
2. Journalism Programs – both master’s and college diploma programs. To work as a journalist, but competition is stiff – to be honest I just want to be famous.
3. Teacher’s College. Teach high school business studies.
4. Lastly, even though I am not applying for a Poli Sci program, I would like to enter politics one day.
All three of these pull at certain parts of my personality. I don’t know what to do.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!

I’m not sure what will fit you best but I can say that getting an MBA can be pretty useful. Even if you want to do politics, majoring in Poli Sci is kind of a waste. If you have an MBA. there are a variety of fields you can work in. Also, I don’t think it necessary to have a teaching degree to teach high school, as long as you have a master’s. Being a journalist, however, is a little different, so I recommend you choose between the two.
Hope this helps and good luck!!
Since you already took a tough road with the finance degree, you might go for another toughie; a law degree. With a J.D. on top of your Bachelor’s in finance, that could open many more opportunities at high levels of function and income. You could put that combo together and be a real asset to the executive levels of any Fortune 1000 company. Also, I believe that part of the basis for a J.D. is Poli Sci. You could kill 2 birds with one stone and expand your possibilities even further.
An MBA takes you in a little different direction but can also open many doors. The good thing about the MBA is that once you start working, your career paths can multiply and diverge. An MBA can give you a very broad overview of business in general and with those tools, you can consult, work for a paycheck, open your own business of whatever type, and work in many different industries. As with many advanced degrees, the MBA gives you the tools to find answers to all sorts of questions. Verrrry interesting concept…
If you are considering teaching in a high school, you’d better be thinking of it for the love and not the money. Because you’ll need lots of the former to get a small amount of the latter!
Famous, huh? Be careful what you wish for!…
Good Luck.
