yeah, my company is pulling back on university recruiting. accounting is one way to go, but why not do finance and go into management consulting? i would have said ibanking or pvt equity, but those guys arent doing so hot right now

I forgot to add, one of the reasons things are going good for me is because I worked really hard and my GPA reflects that. I know many friends who didn't put forth the same effort and they are not in the same boat as I am.

Seminole's got it right, a few nights less of partying really pays off, and STUDY, STUDY, STUDY!!!!

I think the guys who wash the cars do not have degrees.

The finance guys probably do have business degrees, undergrad.

The salesmen are salesmen, wide variety of backgrounds. One of the local salesman used to be a rock singer, in the 70's.

I don't think the mechanics have degrees, per se. I think at least some went to automotive tech schools, but all went through BMW training.

General Manager? Call 10 BMW dealerships, and ask to speak with each one, to find out what you need to do, to be in his/her position, in 20 years. Stroke their egos.

Call BMWNA, do some research, write some formal letters. bmwusa.com currently down.

i found the easiest class for me is marketing lol. i got a 100% on the midterm and i didn't even study for it. just seems to be common sense and second nature on this subject.

improving with accounting though. i got my teacher to give me extra help .

what are some good comp majors with good pay and guarenteed job placement? can i get an mba along with this?

if not maybe i will continue marketing, take satistics next semester with advanced marketing and continue to get mba?

at least i got one thing down along with my other subjects.

its extremely difficult to get into a good MBA program straight out of undergrad. typically, 4-6 years of work experience is average for incoming students--the rationale for this is that you are expected to learn from the varied business experience of your classmates in addition to what you get from coursework.

You don't need a degree to be a manager at a car dealership u just have to get experience. The car biz isn't that great. Long hours, not a lot of money. You should study hard and get a job as a trader if you can.
