Business Opportunities?

Question

I'm a college undergraduate going to University of Texas at Tyler, in Tyler Texas. I grew up in a small town called Kemp, off of Cedar Creek Lake. I'm currently 21 years old, Junior in my BBA in Management with a minor in finance, expect 3.79 GPA when I graduate.

I am a very social person. When I was 17 I became a Blockbuster Manager, and stayed there for 4 years. When I moved to continue my education, I started working for Chili's as a server.

If I were to tell a financial firm such as JP Morgan, or any higher classed Fortune 100 company this history, would they just laugh at me since I didn't attend and couldn't afford Ivy Leagues or MIT?

What kind of opportunities do I have with this kind of background? I planned on doing an internship this summer also.

Your opportunities are so many that it's hard to figure out how to answer this question. One thing no one ever tells you in school is that you should choose a profession before choosing a major.

My advice is to go to career sites and just start applying for jobs. That should be your full time job until you find another.

www.jobsinthemoney.com is a good one. There are tons of sites including hotjobs, careerbuilder, monster, and many others. Limits to your search just limit your opportunities.

If you've got a month of time this summer, I would recommend picking up the SAS programming language. A student version is cheap ($100) and you can get certified for another $200 (you have to buy the study guide and pass a test). Then there's a whole world of SAS programming jobs available at every financial company in the world. It's a fascinating career that pays well.

Answer 3

I've been working on my "real-world" business for a while, and I think I've found a secondary income online. I've tried all sorts of things, pay to surf (and I got spyware), read email (for $.01 each), do surveys (and not fit the criteria for 90% of them), enter multi-level marketing schemes (and get sick of it in days), and Google AdSense (so risky!).

I've been reading about this company called AGLOCO, which stands for A GLObal COmpany. Its following a business model which was succesful before with a company called AllAdvantage. AllAdvantage payed its members $100,000,000 (one hundred million) in two years from 1999-2001. However, it became a victim of the .com bust in 2001.

Now that everything has stabilized, and we've entered "Web 2.0", this will work again. I'd sign up quickly, because its still fairly new, but has already gotten over one million members since starting in late november 2006.

Here's the site's link.
