I wouldn't say it isn't a good field to get into, you just may have to do a lot of applying in this modern market. I hired an entry-level Financial Analyst (similar to the Accounting field) and while it is a pretty decent entry-level job because the salary range is $50K - $68K, I still got 150 resumes. So it's a tough market when you get that many and I pretty much threw away 70 new grad resumes without looking at them since I knew I would find someone with a few years of experience in the rest of the stack to hand pick. May be some easier H&R Block type of openings for $15/hour, but for Accounting careers the market is pretty saturated right now (may not be in 2-3 years though).
I think physician assistant is the most recession proof and they make six figures for only 2 or so extra years of schooling.
If I weren't terribly passionate about my future profession and I had your basic interests, I'd definitely go into something health care related. There are tons of service jobs that can never be outsourced, and are tough to completely automate out of existence. Before you do anything, though, read this article: http://www.cracked.com/article_18817_5-reasons-future-will-be-ruled-by-b.s..html Some seriously profound shit there. (I'm reading David Wong's novel right now--it's really damned good btw.)
I think it probably depends on the school you go to. And its not the overall reputation of the school, it the alumni connections.
It makes me happy. No, it doesn't. I don't insult religious people. I may say things they believe or say don't make sense, aren't logical, or have no proof. It is not my fault that religious people get offended by anything bad about their religion.
Yeah...career wise, most people will just think you're fucking weird if you bring that shit into the workplace. you'll be "that guy". are you looking for an atheist friendly job, you should probably look into Tech fields or engineering then, most logical type of professions with people trying to disprove people's beliefs via logic. If you actually have to deal with people on a daily basis though, arguing or telling people you're atheist and proud of it will just kind of get you ostracized as some weird commie hippie.
yeah. NY Public School teacher. You can fuck students and not get fired, they'll put you in a rubber room. gotta love them unions!
whatever you do, don't study some bullshit like Sociology or Psychology or Philosophy (favorite amoungst the atheist types) unless you plan to get a PhD in it. Most likely you'll end up making coffee at starbucks.
I probably shouldn't have even mentioned it. I don't really care, I have a ton of religious friends that I don't talk to about it, so I probably wouldn't at work.
They're fun classes and psych classes have all the hot chicks and are easy as fuck. maybe as a minor or second major it'd be ok. Philosophy classes are actually good for thinking and logic. To me, sociology and psychology is a bunch of common sense type of shit, day-to-day randomness.
The upper level ones are where its all at. I took a class called "Psychology of Gender Differences", even the professor was SMOKING hot. Just argued about differences between men and women the entire time. It was 90% chicks, most of them from the good sororities...they all love Psychology for some reason and when they're in the upper division classes, all the general student riff raff are filtered out.
ah. yeah, I went to school in So Cal. woot. Uhh...what do you want to do. Maybe try to work at nike doing something? Good at graphic design or anything like that? marketing?
Nothing like trying to target women who are going to mess with your heads on every decision you make and every off-handed remark you make. Good way to have yourself in the corner curled into the fetal position two months into a relationship.
College. There are no relationships. The assisgnments were pretty rediculous, basically all opinion based analysis, I threw shit together and got pretty high scores. maybe I just understand women?
