Re: My mom opens my god damned mail.

FYI: A four year degree doesn't mean you spent four years learning one thing...

I have a liberal arts degree from Normandale and was 1 of 33 juniors to transfer into the Carlson School of Management at the U of M (business school) Fall 2006. In most business programs, you have to take a set of core courses (marketing, IT, Finance, operation, accounting, etc) before entering your major.

I majored in Finance and Accounting and work at a CPA firm, I make plenty. I have 3 houses and a 4 unit apartment complex in side businesses.

To me, a liberal arts degree was pretty much an extension of High School. The "4 year degree" part is where I learned the most.\

Don't have too high of expectations on your first job. Money shouldn't be your first priority in finding a job right after school. Find a company that you like and something you want to do.
