<p>This is what i "heard". that its hard for people to find jobs after graduating from UCR. I mean i can understand, since UCR is not really known to specialize in anything, except having a great economics faculty. ( all stanford and MIT graduate teachers) It is also reasonable to believe that there arent gonna be that many recruiters coming from firms and whatnot. I know its a new school and not as established as other UCs, but still, job placement for graduates is low. I did find a lot of internships in the Riverside area, but doubt they will take kids from here, they would rather prefer LA students. Any one care to elaborate or explain the situation? I'm a Bizz economics major btw.</p>
<p>Going to UCR, you probably won’t have as many opportunities for jobs right off the bat as you would at UCLA (as in great companies recruiting at the campus). Likewise, at UCLA, you probably wouldn’t have as many great companies on campus as you would at Harvard. However, if you build up an impressive resume, then there is no reason good companies shouldn’t call you for interviews if you apply. If you do nothing but go to school and get mediocre grades, then you might have a hard time getting a good job.</p>
<p>I think if a UCR graduate had a more impressive resume than a UCLA graduate, the company would take the UCR graduate.</p>

<p>This sounds about right. I know someone who graduated from berkeley and cant find a decent job. I’m not too worried, just gotta do what has to be done right now and we’l just see what happens after I graduate. No matter what, its the better alternative to not going to school at all and simply looking for a job with no degree at all.</p>
<p>That’s why i’m going to graduate school hahahah
But besides that, even with a bachelors only now, you won’t find a job
A masters is like almost necessary these days</p>
<p>husalah : you forgot engineering,biology. </p>
<p>It does really matter. I person from UCR has the same exact chances as the UCD. It the same education except where its located changes.</p>
<p>for example LA major city, Rside suburb, Merced farmtown</p>
<p>Exactly what Jaesango said. People are dumb and not go to graduate skool</p>
<p>Well, make sure to spiff up your resume.</p>
<p>A good thing for all juniors to do is to find an internship. If they like you, they might keep you after you graduate.</p>
<p>Don’t go through college doing absolutely nothing.</p>
<p>I hear when you go to graduate school, companies only care what school you received your highest degree from. If that’s the case, why do people even spend so much money at UCR if they plan on getting their masters from another university?</p>
<p>Well personally for me it’s because of the dorm life
but you’re overlooking something
I’d rather have a higher gpa at UCR than go to UCLA and get a crap gpa</p>
<p>I saw a lot of highschool students who were saying it’s UCSD or better or i’d rather go to a community school
Well, for some it’s reasonable, but for others they didn’t do all that well in highschool
So even if they got into UCSD with a 3.0 gpa from a community college they’re gonna get their butt handed to them unless they really start studying.</p>
<p>YEee! Dorm life fosho. :)</p>
<p>spiff up my resume? with internships, and good grades? i was looking to get a internship my freshmen year. Thats highly unlikely right? assuming my high school GPA was 3.3. But Im better off transfering to Hass or UCLA after junior correct? if i want to better my chances for better internships and job offers. Would it be wise to stay all 4 years at UCR with high ass grades and then grad school? or Transfer? How good REALLY are bizz school and econmics major at UCR? any graduates can explain?</p>
<p>lol. your whole paragraph sounds so sarcastic.</p>
<p>and it’s as if you think UCR is a terrible school already with no opportunities waiting for you at all. lululul</p>
<p>nahh not even ur tripin. That was jus the vibe i recieved at my asian school. I only made UCR, and few other, so im not hatin on the school</p>
<p>“spiff up my resume? with internships, and good grades? i was looking to get a internship my freshmen year. Thats highly unlikely right?”</p>
<p>Enjoy your first year of school. You’re still completing your GEs, and you’re still pre-business right now. Upperclassmen have more to offer than a freshmen, so obviously internships as a freshmen would be highly unlikely.</p>
<p>“Im better off transfering to Hass or UCLA after junior correct? if i want to better my chances for better internships and job offers.”</p>
<p>Graduating from Cal and UCLA may give you an edge over a UCR student. That is the truth, but that’s the reason why you have to spiff up your resume. You have to take your fate into your own hands and help YOURSELF create a slight edge over the other students. It’s not what college you graduated from–it’s what you did in college that will play a big part in your success in the future. </p>
<p>Just because you don’t get a job right out of college, it doesn’t mean you won’t ever have one. There are opportunities everywhere, and you have to search for it yourself. I’m sure by now, you know that nothing is handed to you. You have to do what you have to do in order to do what you want to do.</p>
<p>“Would it be wise to stay all 4 years at UCR with high ass grades and then grad school? or Transfer?” </p>
<p>Just because you are attending UCR, it doesn’t mean that it will be easy to earn good grades (just wanted to remind you incase you think UCR classes are like high school classes because people have said that l0l0l). If you want to think about transferring at all, you better have at least a 3.0+ GPA. Community college students have priority over UC students and not all credits are transferable, so keep that in mind.</p>
<p>If you’re going to work in the business field, it is suggested that you work for at least a year before you go to graduate school. But, whether you want to or not… is obviously your choice. A BS/BA is very common now, so if you could afford graduate school, I don’t see why you shouldn’t go.</p>
<p>I hate typos :(</p>
<p>lol grammar-wise or content-wise? lolololol</p>
<p>content forgot the n’t after should</p>
<p>I only have one should, and there is an n’t after it. o_o</p>
<p>lolol</p>

<p>Yes, I suppose you should always look to spiff up your resume, but an internship is unrealistic in your first year. Good grades are a good idea, though keep in mind UCR is not an “easy” school. It speaks to the school’s relative difficulty that the average undergraduate GPA is just under a 3.0. You might have less competition in classes than you would at UCLA (depending on your classes), but not all classes are graded on a curve and thus it might not matter. Not trying to scare you or anything, just trying to make sure you’re being realistic. If you want to get good grades, then you’ll have to really put in the time for studying.</p>
<p>thnx for the responses everybody. hopefully the economy gets better, so by the time i graduate, jobs will be less scarce.</p>
