Here's what others have asked.
I am an advertising and public relations major interested in moving to New York City after graduation. I would like to talk to any alums in large cities, especially NYC, about their experience moving and finding an internship and a job.
I am a first year student trying to decide between majoring in nursing or medical sonography and would like to talk to someone about those careers and possibly do a job shadow to learn more about the day to day.
I am a sophomore studying exercise science. I am looking for some advice on career paths. I have always wanted to be a strength and conditioning coach, but have recently gotten interested in rehabilitation. I would love to talk to someone in the exercise and health related areas to learn more about my options and their experiences.
I am a first generation college student majoring in history. I love my major, but am worried about finding a job after college. Should I switch to another major to make more money or focus on what I love? Any advice from fellow first-gen alumni or history majors would be appreciated.
