| Classics Major Into Business?
My question is about entering into a business or finance career as a liberal arts (in my case, Classics) major in college. I have been planning on going onto law school, but after taking a small sample of econ classes, I have been thinking about a career in business.
I know that business schools very rarely accept anyone coming out of undergrad without work experience, so my question is, how would I go about getting any valuable work experience? To give you a quick background on myself:
Arizona State University (National Merit Scholar)
3rd Year Classics Major
4.0/4.0 GPA
Worked my first two years as a writing tutor and latin tutor on campus
This year I have been working twice a week as a tutor at a middle school in the area, and I also teach an introductory Latin class to a small group of local high school students (hired by their parents).
Each summer I have worked at a local golf course in the Pro Shop.
Other ECs: Volunteer Soccer Referee, Charter Member of Classics Club on campus.
Next year I will be working part-time for Teach For America, as an on-campus recruiter.
Ok, so in my mind, I'm just expecting a hard time selling myself to businesses and financial institutions as compared to students, say, coming out with a finance degree or something similar. I was wondering to see if anyone has advice for someone in my position, just trying to get a foot in the door somewhere. If you know of any resources, types of work that might be available, anything really, it would all be very appreciated. I know that people pull of the humanities --> business transition, I'm just looking for ways to do it. |
