[求助]Industrial and Labor Relation就业前景及专业选择

我当时选major的时候也没有考虑那么多，只是想对那方面多了解就学了，中间曾经想转到CS或CE，因为CS或CE的课相对比EE的要容易，那时候转也很容易，毕业后起薪也一样，何必要遭那个罪呢？不过后来还是没有转，因为课难而不是没有兴趣而转我觉得不是什么理由，EE那时候也有前途，当时选EE也是考虑过的而不是头脑一热而选的。路就是这么一步一步走下来的，一直到现在找到工作，虽然还没有毕业。我公司每年都到80多个大学办招生活动，面对的从MIT/Stanford/Berkley一类的到一些engineering/science比较强的state universities，也包括我们大学在内。然而那个list上没有我当时申请的给我全额奖学金的大学，虽然那个也是以engineering为主。我以前选大学的时候没有后悔过，到现在也没有后悔，只是如果当时SAT考的再高一些现在背的贷款会少一些。当然了，如果去那个给我全奖大学的话，只是现在要走的路会不一样而已，去的公司会不一样，it's all about being different, there is no good or bad. 活说回来，我当时觉得难的课到最后也都拿A了。虽然几年前动摇过，现在回想起来，以后生活中会遇到各种难事和挫折，学生时代其实是最容易的，要是在读书的时候就觉得不行了，这人以后在社会上会是很脆弱的，经不起什么风浪的。如果说你家是大富或者当大官之类的还可以另当别论，但大部分这个人都不是那种。
大学的4年对一个人的性格会有不少的影响，对事物的看法和思维方式在这4年也可能会有改变，至少从我学过的课里人家是想让你用这样和那样的方法分析问题，而其他类型的分析就很少用到，在这一点我是很有体会。最后我要说的是我最讨厌的就是讲什么大道理，所以我只是想把想说的就说了。

你也打算念grad school的吗?~~~~~~

That is almost for sure, and if I actually end up in law major, I probably will think of getting Ph.D degree. but anyway, these are all future, and future is unfathomable.

还有就是很多东西，你现在觉得喜欢，学了一阵子也许就烦了；还有一些，开始没兴趣，学着学着会觉得其实也不错。现在热门的，也许以后就冷了。谁都说不好以后的事情。如果有条件，还是选一个自己能长久坚持下来的major吧。

yes I really agree with that

Actually, I am really interested in humanity subjects, but in the other hand, I am also very good at math and science. I am good at math and science not because I love them but I have a good way to learn them. Among all the engineering majors, EE has the broadest way, but again I don't like programming and the CS course that I am taking now. I have been informed that EE involves a lot programming stuff~~

seiyafan, studing in the School of Industrial and Labor Relation doesn't mean that I want to stay poor. it is easy to go from ILR to business school or law school. And as I am thinking about graduate school, if I don't choose EE, I probably will choose law.

my circumstance was the same as urs except the fact that i wasn't interested in engineering in the first place
now i end up taking both social sci. and humanities courses over life sci./business(which "might be" easier for me in a short term) b'caz i personally enjoy them. 4 me , this is not only a brand new experience but also a challenge one. but what's more important is that I am willing to overcome any possible struggles. (If u don't like it, u wouldn;t be so energetic)

or u may develop ur interest after taking them..this could be an alternative:rolleyes:

ft，又到春天了。

楼上的那个改编的quote不得不让人产生联想。哈哈。

Liz, yea, I'm thinking about the same thing, such as major in pre-law but take more than required math and science courses in college. I think doing math and science is a good way to train your brain and creativity.

speaking of creativity, visual art is not a bad choice either...........:o :o :o :o
