First-Year Seminar FMA

Major/Minors Fair

I recently decided to go ahead and take a trip with a friend to Baruch’s majors and minors fair. This was a small get together where there were multiple professionals and departmental heads all together for the purpose of speaking to the students and see what careers they could make out of their majors. This fair is great for people who don’t have a direction in mind for where they want to go with their careers and college education, but also great for people who do know what kind of degree it is that they are pursuing. The majors and minors fair shows you the many, many different majors and minors that Baruch has to offer within its 3 specialized schools, and what kind of career you can create out of those degrees. For myself, I knew that I wanted an accounting degree, but I was a little unsure of what specific career would come out of obtaining such a degree, and what the differences were between the different kinds of jobs I could apply for with this degree in my credentials. Thanks to the career fair, I got to see the different kinds of jobs I could get with my soon to be obtained degree, what kind of positions I could obtain with it, and the courses I would have to take in order to fulfill the requirements for that degree while I am here at Baruch.  I also got to search around for what kind of minor I would end up taking as well. Because of the fair, I was able to find many different minors that I could take, and even some that I could take that would actually help and relate to my major, enhancing the education I would be getting here so that I would be better equipped once I entered the work force. Thanks to this fair, my career path became more clear and I have a better understanding of what to do during my time here at Baruch.This image requires alt text, but the alt text is currently blank.
