College Majors/Minors

[Rain Man]

Questions:
What is/was your college major(s)?
What is/was your college minor(s)?

Well, that depended on the school I went to:
At Kent State (my freshman year) while it technically was Undecided, my goal was to major in Aerospace Flight Technology (or piloting planes).

At Columbus State, I just received a basic liberal arts degree for a 2-year program--so I didn't have a major there either

At Central State, I had a double major--Accounting & Economics for the one quarter I was there

At Capital, my major was accounting, but it was taking me too long to finish, so I got a General Studies degree with concentrations in Management, Accounting, and Economics

At Franklin, I was an MBA student--they just started adding concentrations there when I graduated.



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?

I am an accountant/auditor with a Black-owned CPA firm

I got my first accounting job at a CPA firm after I took only one accounting course. From there I have amassed a lot of accounting eperience at various jobs in various industries. I have a total of 7 years combined accounting eperience, four of them in public accounting. My major(s) prepared me in that I didn't take specialized courses per se, so if I wanted to move to a different area of my "major", I could do it with minimal difficulty.

I was selected for INROADS talent pool in '94 and I hated it. I have called all my accounting jobs I did as an undergraduate internships in part b/c they functioned as such and because it eliminates a lot of "nosy" questions later.

I am currently taking the remaining accounting courses needed to sit for the CPA test (which I plan to take and pass ONCE!!!)

Don't ask me if or when I am getting a doctorate (JD, PhD, etc.) I have been in and out of the classroom for 11 years. If I am not smart enough as I am, well I am out of luck.
