<p>I heard you can get a job. If you graduated from some rare LSA major that doesn't really have much job prospects like Asian Studies (although you don't really want to go to college and would rather have manual labor work) can you get a job in desk clerk.</p>
<p>that’s not necessarily correct but to a degree i agree with you. I know a few former Bio Majors which are now accountants and journalists so you degree wont necessarily dictate your profession.</p>
<p>obviously that’s true. there’s a lot of alums willing to help, I know two asian studies folks, one is a management consultant at booz allen, and another works as a paralegal at a big law firm in nyc.</p>
<p>No one, NO ONE, is guaranteed a job especially in this Michigan economy. I have a few friends who graduated from UMich (and a lot of other Michigan colleges) this past spring that are still looking for jobs. One has some type of engineering degree, one was in theatre, and one was in some type of physical science (want to say some type of physics, but I don’t remember for sure). There is simply no one hiring, unfortunately. Do you have better prospects than someone who graduated from somewhere like Eastern Michigan University? Absolutely. Are you GUARANTEED a job? Absolutely not.</p>
<p>can anyone tell me what percentage of Ross School of Business BBA majors got jobs when they graduated in May of 2009?</p>
<p>during our tour of Ross this summer, the assistant admissions officer for the Ross BBA program said the recent BBA graduates had around 85% employment , but I am skeptical if this included any “job” or internships.</p>
<p>my son is a freshmen pre-admit for Ross.</p>
<p>^85% seems low enough that there’s no reason to be skeptical. Were a bunch going to grad school or something?</p>
<p>I could have sworn there was just a thread in this forum a few weeks ago about how anyone that isn’t a math or science major is screwed.</p>

<p>Not bad considering the financial meltdown. Close to 80% of Ross BBAs had jobs by the time they graduated and over 80% of Ross students had jobs within three months of graduation. Although major IBanks are still hurting, Ross managed to place over 25 students into 4 of the top 10 IBanks and altogether, 90 Ross BBAs were placed in IBanks. It also placed 5 into McKinsey and another 70 into top Consulting firms. Several into top tech companies such as Google and Microsoft.</p>
<p>To answer the OP’s statement, I would say that Michigan LSA students are in very high demand, but as many have rightly pointed out, there are never any guarantees, particularly in such an economy as we have today.</p>
<p>How do you see Employment Profile for other Schools/majors? Do even small departments like Asian Studies have Employment Profile?</p>
<p>idk, maybe it’s just naivety but i don’t see what the hype is about getting a job with IB? I mean i know the money is decent but what is the big hype with it, and so highly pursued. I’d be happier with running my own company after graduation. But that’s just me.</p>
<p>I personally don’t see the big deal in getting a job in IB or Consulting. I too think it is overrated. But it is in demand, although admittedly not nearly as much at Michigan than at smaller East Coast private universities. At Michigan, most students interested in a career in IB or Consulting are either Econ or Business majors. Some Mathematics and Engineering students are also interested in such a career. Altogether, I would estimate that 10%-15% of the total student body at Michigan has in interest in pursuingsuch a career. In contrast, at some private schools in the East, I would estimate that close to half of the student body wishes to pursue such careers.</p>
<p>Did those Asian Studies major go to Graduate School?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Do you know and may I ask how much they are earning?</p>
<p>Is management consultant and paralegal a job which any majors can get?</p>
<p>w00t, the Asian Studies thread is BACK!</p>
<p>I suppose Asian Studies majors could always move to Asia.</p>
<p>^People in Asia already know about Asia. Infact, they live there.</p>
