Why You Should Quit Your Job

With the help of Melissa Marietta, we’ve again identified some outstanding internship opportunities.  If you’re interested in finance, sales, marketing, health care, or entrepreneurship, please contact Melissa or me.

It’s truly the case right now that we have more internships than we can fill.  Some even pay.  There’s simply no better use of your time than completing a good internship.

Just one example:  Some folks from Northwestern Mutual spoke to my classes today.  They have internships all over the country.  These pay.  The company ends up hiring around a third of interns for full time jobs after college.  And those jobs can pay very well.

Quit that job at Burger King and become an intern!

Event Planning

Businesses keep coming to me looking for interns-- this time a resort in the Catskills is interested in someone who may like to explore event planning (weddings, etc.).  See me if you’re interested.  This sounds like a good one.

Electives

The new BUSA curriculum allows you to take four 300- or 400- level electives.  For Spring, we have four courses scheduled that could count as electives:

*BUSA 311 - Business Law II (no pre-reqs; you don’t need to have taken Business Law I to get in)
*BUSA 348 - Statistical Analysis in Operations (pre-req:  Finance)
*BUSA 381 - Human Resources (pre-req: Intro to Business)
*BUSA 441- International Business (2 sections offered; pre-reqs: Marketing & Finance)

Remember, an approved Internship taken for credit can also count as one of your four electives.
