How To Prepare for Work After College

It’s about post-college preparation so you can hit the ground running!

Economists maintain that a college degree is still the best way to land high-paying jobs, but lots of graduating high school students are questioning that when they hear about college graduates not being able to get a job or finding a job that has nothing to do with their major. On top of that, add the dismal figures that reference student loan debt topping $1 trillion and graduates finding themselves with low-paying jobs that make them no better off than if they hadn’t gone to college.

Let’s take a closer look at how college students can successfully hit the ground running as soon as they graduate. We’ll examine the idea that just attending college may not be enough; students may need to make more focused decisions before entering college – to help put their degree to work right away.

Music Business at Belmont University

The Professor knew Nashville was nicknamed “Music City,” and after a lively visit to Belmont University, he sees why. There are performance halls, studios, and clubs all over campus and all over town. Talented musicians perform country, opera, symphony, and just about every other genre you can imagine. No wonder Belmont offers three different degrees in Music Business. In fact, it has the only Music Business program in the world that’s accredited by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business AACSB. Graduates have worked as sound engineers and producers, or pursued one of dozens of other music-industry careers. (Country recording artists Brad Paisley and Trisha Yearwood are alumni!)

Nutrition at Boston University

Diet and health care are topics are in the news and on everyone’s mind these days, so what better time to pursue a degree in Nutritional Science? After visiting Boston University, the Professor cannot think of a better place to study nutrition.

With 33,000 students, a top-ranking medical school, and a reputation for strong academic research, BU is both a world unto itself and an integral part of beautiful Boston.

Students can easily board the “T,” Boston’s rail system, to access the rest of this compact metropolis.

The important thing now is getting enrolled in college, and to do that…

It’s hard to believe that the son or daughter you used to carry on your back is getting ready to graduate from high school and go off to college.

What’s even harder to believe is how much college tuition costs today!

Back in the 1960’s, one lady put herself through college on a small income. It was easy then… she only had to spend about $2000 dollars a year, not including books or housing. That is definitely not the situation today.
