Occupation/Major

[bakingpoodle]

I received my BBA in Finance in 1999. I got my first job in Accounting in August of 2001 then moved to the Finance department in July 2003. Now as of July 2006 I'm in Compensation and Benefits as a Compensation Analyst. I happen to like my new role much better. I'm thinking about getting my Masters in HR instead of Finance. Isn't life funny!

I read in a Times or Newseek article that young adults will probably change their careers at least 3 to 4 times before they reach the age of retirement.

That corresponds to the average number of times people change their majors in college. What seemed like a good idea in freshmen year for me (biology and becoming an MD) changed to becoming a history major by my junior year and eventually getting the Ph.D. Somehow it all works out in the end.
