What can you do with that?!

Every semester starts out the same: you're sitting in class, looking around, trying to find someone you can talk to. Well, every semester pretty much starts out with the same conversation for me. It goes like this: "What's your name?"; "What year are you?"; "What's your major?"; "What is that?!", "Oh, so what kind of job can you get?"

Well, I was really curious in the beginning too because this is slightly unconventional and a program that most other colleges don't offer. But, I think it is actually really great. I went into a few different job search engines and just plugged in a 4-year degree, with interests in each of the minors I have. The latest one showed 530+ jobs within a 30 miles radius of my house.

I recently started an internship for a small company in West Chester. It is a computer company, but I was hired to do their billing and accounting work. So, every 2 weeks is billing and I enter all accounts payable and receivable (knowledge I've gotten from my accounting minor). Part of billing is sending out invoices with details of all the work we have done for the clients. It is my job to proofread those documents and make sure they sound professional (knowledge from my business & technical writing comes into play here). All of this work is done on the computer and in Excel spreadsheets (knowledge from my information technology minor makes this easier).

I feel really luck to be a part of this program because I feel so much more confident at work with having this broad range of knowledge that comes from being able to study in a few different fields at once. If you could pick any 2 or 3 fields to study in, which would you pick?
