If you could do it all over again...MADE CHOICE
So lets think back to a time when you were my age, 19. For most of you I know that was only a few short years ago, but just think back.
You are at Boston College, Just like me, wow!, and you are in the Management school as an accounting and finance double major. Here is the choice, and I have been asking around.
I am very driven in working hard to get the grades and work experience to excel in the finace field when I get out. At the same time, its college, and its a fun time. This past summer I had an internship with a large company, and I enjoyed it. So much that I have been applying for Fall internships in Boston. Well, I got one, or at least was offered one.
If you could do it all over again, would you take an opportunity like this, to probably be one of only a few sophomores with multiple internships under their belt. Get paid between 14-16$ an hour to work part time in the city (An hour commute by subway). This takes alot of time and forces me to hone my study habits with everything else, A comedy group, multiple clubs, class, ext....
Or, would you decline the couple hundred dollars a week extra, and just enjoy your time at the risk of just being with the pack as far as your resume?
In either case I think my grades would be the same, or at least the risk of doing better or worse is the same for each.
If you could do it again, how would you go about the choices in college. And you may say I am just crazy and should switch my major to rainforest biology, but the majors are going to stay.
Just curious.
