Choice of Major..sort of

Post by teo » Mon Jun 20, 2011 10:19 pm

Will it look bad if I apply with a crap ass degree ( i.e. University Studies type thing)?
I have spent the last 9 years in the army and have 3 deployments, I am tired and want this over with. If I stick with my business degree I got 2 years to even apply, if I switch my major..I can start applying this next cycle.

I guess my question is..will some military boohoo story make up for a shitty sounding degree with a 3.meh GPA?

Imho it's nice to have choices in life. A business degree might give you options down the road. 'Crap ass degree' - not so much. If you like business, just stick with it.

Edit: But to answer your question more specifically, your degree does not matter much. I don' think it will hurt you too much.
