For future brides that are still in school. What is your major? and what is your future career?
A: My major was Computer Science with a business minor. I took a whole lot of programming classes and realized that programming was not for me. My first out of college job was Help Desk/Executive Asst. I realized then that desktop support was not for me either. Then I started my current job and got the opportunity to become a Business Analyst. Which is combining IT & Business and I love it!!!

My major was biology, I was going the pre-med route. After college I worked as a glorified secretary for a hospital in the city. The pay was great, but the job not so much. I decided that I no longer wanted to go to medical school bc I wanted to have a big family (4-5 kids), which would be difficult to do while dealing with internships, residencies, and fellowships. So I went back to school for nursing and just graduated in May. Now I am studying for my licensing exam and I praying that I pass and land a job by September! Wedding planning is depressing when you have no income!

My major in college was English. When I was in college, I had planned on going to law school and figured being an English major would help strengthen my reading and writing skills. Being able to read the fine print in a novel is similar to being able to read the fine print in a legal document. After college, I worked as a Commercial Real Estate Paralegal for a Top 100 firm, took the LSAT, scored a 165 and decided that law school wasn't for me. Due to the economy, my law firm actually dissolved after 150years of existence and I was laid off. After getting laid off, I decided that I wanted to switch careers and start working as a HR Professional. I enjoy working with people and definitely care about everyone's experience at a company. I enrolled in a part time (weekend) Master's program last summer, started applying for HR jobs and now I'm in HR.
