What is/was your college minor(s)?

FOR THE GRADUATES/WORKING FOLKS:
What are you doing now professionally?
How did your major(s)/minor(s) prepare you to do your job?
What internships did you do to get ready for your profession?

Social Work
Gerontology
I am working on getting my LMSW
Most of my class study helped me with my jobs. However, when I went into the Drug/Alcohol Rehab to work as a Counselor, I really wasn't prepared by my schooling because my professors tended to skip over this chapter of the DSM-IV. For some reason, they didn't even touch drugs/alcohol, their effects, the symptomology, anything to do with it.
I had internships at Nursing Home Facilities-both of them. They have helped me in in the current world of working in Home Health.

Major: Accounting

I did an internship with the Department of Labor during the summer of 2007. After my internship was over a job position was open at an organization as a Human Resources Assistant. They saw some of the stuff I did at the DOL and thought I was a great worker. Hired me as a temp in Sept 2007 to see how it would go. Hired full time and graduated in December. May of 2008 I was promoted to Benefits Specialist and here I am.

Human Resources is far from my major, kind of, but I still deal a little with finance. Going back for my MBA in August.

I like HR alot, the company has its problems, but its a great postition to gain good work experience. I believe God placed me in places for great things to happen and I am looking forward to the many blessings that are yet to come. However, if he doesn't bless me anymore he has already done enough in my life and I will continue to praise him!

FOR THE CURRENT STUDENTS
What do you plan to do with your major? Well, before this past month I planned on being a Cognitive Behavorial Therapist because of the fascination with the interaction between the brain and human behavior. Unfortunatley, after watching several TruTV shows with Forensic Psychologist, It is a field that I have been taken interest in.

What internships have you pursued to better prepare yourself for the working world? Well, a year ago I interned at the Three Rivers Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Center for Outpatient Users who have completed the main program at the main hospital. I am also currently seeking going to NYC to work in the Make A Wish Foundation, but I am shy of some thousand dollars LOL! Wish me luck ladies.

Current Job: HR Development Specialist. I work as a program manager in a Leadership Development branch with an agency in the Federal Govt. The grad degree helped me get the job. I was hired at a career fair right after graduation for an entry level developmental position.

My major is biochemistry with no minor. (major too broad.) I plan on going to med school with my major and earn a MD and use it in pediatrics with specializing in enery and natural medicine. (don't believe in pumping harmful chemicals in our children.) I have been blessed with open door opportunities to work under doctor's shadows...
