    Doubled up with BA's in Communications Broadcast News and Production then minored in History. I'm currently the Sports Director for an NBC affiliate doing local news. Really fun job but it doesn't pay for shit. I'm trying to break in with a university athletic dept. or a pro team doing this job but more in-house specific. Actually had a few interviews with the blazers but didn't get the offer.

    As an undergrad, I did a double major at a liberal arts college in International Relations and Romance Languages.

    I'm now a partner in a real estate merchant bank.

    With a degree like that I'm surprised you are a partner and don't HAVE a "partner"!

    I got my MS and BS both in that major. Don't do it. I was able to land a job in a major Pharma company only because I had biochem/pharma experience while in grad school, and I killed my interview. That degree is pointless. They teach you the basics of every little thing (statics, mechanics, calc, phys, bio, anatomy, etc), and you work your ass off to maintain a semi-decent GPA, only to realize that you don't have specific knowledge on anything. And to land a job, that's what you need.

    HCP, I appreciate the offer, I really do. You're an attractive man; don't listen to what everyone else is saying.
