<p>Clearly you still don’t understand, Jelynn. Once again, recruiters dont care what “-U-” want. They want what they need, and some self-righteous BGSU student with an “individualized business” major definitely will not cut it. With what you have exemplified on this thread, you will fail both the personality and credential section of your future interviews every time.</p>
<p>My intention was not to attack Jelynn93 or his right to pursue his own goals and make his own choices according to those goals, but just to post, comprehensively, the facts relevant to the point that seems to be the foundation of his opinions/plans (that he goes to a “top school” so a high GPA in <em>any major(s)/minor(s)</em> is all he needs to get a <em>good</em> job). My own school uses the same propaganda every chance it gets (as does any school), and it is a particularly poor school (with only a few areas in which it is generally strong). When I came to the school, I knew all the propaganda was just that, propaganda, but I did not realize how poor the school really was (and it may be worse than Jelynn’s, I do not know). So when I saw the propaganda of some random school rolling through the very forums that have so much information that contradicts it, it was quite irritating to me personally since I am bombarded with this kind of stuff on a regular basis.</p>
<p>All I have to say to Jelynn is to be certain what your life and career goals are, and fully inform yourself of the potential and/or likely consequences of the critical choices you will be making soon. Don’t think you have Goal A and then make choices that will lead to Goal B, which may be the right goal for someone else, but not right for you. If your goal is truly to get a good business job, pick a major that employers actually will hire. If your goal is to learn about art history, then learn by reading books instead of memorizing a bunch of random facts a professor tells you to memorize. If you have a true goal more important than getting a good job and it conflicts with an in-demand major, by all means do whatever is needed to achieve that goal, but it hasn’t been stated in this thread. I can think of no possible reason anyone should ever major in General/Individualized Business outside of the Top 15 business schools, but maybe you have one.</p>
<p>Business want you to have skills that help the company’s bottom line. Most of them don’t care a lot about your personal growth.</p>
<p>Jelynn93, major in what you want; I’m sure that you will make a fine decision based on the information available to you. But, your school might advertise one thing, and report another. Here’s the stats of what BGSU reports to Businessweek about their undergraduate job placement. It’s not pretty.</p>
