For the career section of Freshman Seminar, I decided to attend the Majors and Minors fair. It took place during club hours on Thursday November 9, 2017. The event included representatives from different majors and minors available at Baruch. The event opened me up to a lot of different Business based majors that sounded very interesting. In honesty, I think the event made me less certain of the major that I wish to pursue. I thought about the possible minors that I could take to enhance my potential major choices. I was certain I wanted to take something that would build onto my major, but I was opened up to different ways of building onto it, whether that’s minoring in English to enhance my formal writing or economics to build on my business based major. I will certainly be using STARR resources in helping me manage my career, the program really helps open your eyes to all the potential paths you can take and later helps zero you in on the path you wish to take. I will certainly be going back to the event next year in order to help make a final decision, with pinpoint questions to ask the very knowledgeable representatives. I was provided with material that listed all the various courses, different career paths within majors, just a ton of different pamphlets, information, etc. Our mascot was also available for pictures during the event, so it brought a different vibe to the fair. Overall, I think it’s a great event that Baruch hosts, however I believe it should be held more then once a year. I work on Thursdays, so the whole experience was a little rushed as I knew it was my only opportunity, but I had to get in and get out as soon as possible. I would love for some events to be available on weekends or times that are more convenient for students.
