Thought it would be cool to know what some people who post on here are studying or looking to go into if they are currently enrolled at college somewhere.
I'm currently an undeclared freshman student at UC considering a myriad of pathways right now. Probably leaning most towards teaching or physical therapy (and branching out into sports) right now.

Junior at UC. Finance, possibly with a minor in International Business or Business Economics (or both). Looking to go into Financial Law after undergrad
Lot of people looking at law school. I hope for everyone's sake the legal market picks up. It's awful right now in Ohio. I would like to think in 3+ yrs. it will be improved though. If not, we're all in trouble!
Oh, and even though I'm old and in grad school...I got my undergrad in accounting, I'm currently in grad school for my MBA and I start on my Master's in Health Administration next yr at OSU.
Second Semester Junior at Saint Louis studying Accounting, I'll finish up my B.S.B.A. and the MACC in four and a half years, and will probably serve a couple years with public accounting firm before potentially looking at Law School as a stepping stone to upper management.

I'd go as far as to say this is an understatement. My buddy has an outstanding GPA out of OSU's law school, yet has no offers from any companies. Luckily for him he will also have an MBA here in a month or so, but as far as a career on the legal side goes, he's all but given up.
His problem his he's white, and has 0 connections. That = no job.

I was trying to be as positive as I could, BCfan. I don't want to discourage anyone.
You're right though, it's terrible right now. I know several attorneys in Columbus ranging from newer associates to partners that have been laid off. And these are people with great resumes at the largest firms in the city. I know someone who was a partner doing M&A work and he ended up taking a corporate counsel position and just remaining of counsel to the firm because he couldn't get billable hours (and knew he would get fired as a result). As he said "I made more in 1989 than I make today." It was based on my conversations with him that I didn't go to law school myself last fall.

What is that, GOGE? Is that anything like Sport Management?
It's basically the undergrad version of Sports Management. I believe an actual Sports Management program is offered here for grad school. What my major generally is called is Sports & Leisure Studies. Then, you break it down into two specific majors: Sport Humanities and Sport Leadership, which I am in, or Physical Education/Teacher Education. PE/TE is for people who want to teach, specifically physical education. SHSL is for people who have a more general outlook, but know that they want to be involved in the sports field in some kind.
Federal law enforcement agencies are chomping at the bit for people with any type of business degree along with a law degree...tell your friends to go those routes.
I wouldn't want to bury myself in 120k of debt in law school to go into law enforcement. But given the alternatives for those graduating or in school, it's probably great advice right now.

I would never want to be a beat-cop...
But working for the FBI, CIA, etc would be nice. Not as an actual officer, but a legal investigator...does that help?
