| Plans after college
Now that everyone has pretty much gotten their acceptances and have an idea of where they are going, what do you plan to do with your degree after college?
I know it seems absurd, but I know many people who are going for a degree simply because they believe it will hand them a bag of cash and a ticket to stardom. Later in life they find that they hate their careers because they went into a career and life style they don't enjoy.
I'll start.
I'm transferring to UCSB as a Bus. Econ major with a focus in acct. I plan on working in the accounting industry for a few years and then start a business. I would like to go to business school in about 5 years to get the connections and education I need to effectively start and run a corporation.
Feel free to post regardless of major. |

| I'm transferring to UC Davis or UC San Diego majoring in Biological Sciences. After college, I hope to go to UC Berkeley's Optometry school, or any Optometry school for that matter, and we'll see how that goes...  | |
