cal state hayward (eastbay) has a good ECON degree program.

in fact, i just finishing up updating the ECON website for the current year:

a good resume with a lot of keywords. I go through about ~400 resumes a year to screen for summer interns. I only contact about 20 of them through email. and call about 10 of them. Then only about 5 make it pass me and through the interview panel. I don't look at names, university, or location. GPA is the first, but not the only thing. I take anything above 3.0/4.0 on my first pass. Then class level, then course work, then experience. With that said, it's all in your resume...

I also started applying for internship when I was a sophmore in high school. your typical big corporations like Intel, IBM, Sun, HP, Epson, Apple, etc. I got reject EVERY year until I got my lucky break in my freshmen year. Busted my *** off on my first internship and I never had to apply again. I then got multiple offers for return every year after.

Good resume, good course work, and KEEP TRYING!

Sorry for the highjack...

 

Damn right!! Less than 1.5 hours from campus to Sugar Bowl.

Yeah. It isn't that bad year. I haven't seen a cow since I got here. Choosing a school most depends on what you like. Whatever floats your boat.

 

Ahh... lol those C/C+s in physics are gonna bite me in the *** :P I've never actually made a resume cause I've never had job experiance (well until this quarter hehe I get to grade for CE12 (CS 12C back in the day)) Hmm we'll see how this quarter goes then I guess I'll take the time to make a nice resume. I'm actually enjoying my CE classes a lot more then my EE classes. Althuogh I've only taken a handful of each. CE12, was pretty fun takign 100 now pretty neat nice and hands on. Much better then freaken ee70 and 171.

 

sloooowwww down there buddy, davis does have its share of cows, but how does that affect anything? just because a town has cows in one concentrated barn area doesnt mean its hickville. davis is a college town, built basically for the enjoyment of students. youll find that everything is centered towards YOU, the student. the local stores cry out for your business, apartments are easy to find, etc... I go to davis and i feel that i, as a student, own the town (for lack of a better word). even if im on the outskirts of davis away from the actual campus, i still feel like im at school hanging out with buddies because basically everyone in davis is a student. i find this to be comforting and it always provides me with something to do. you wont be bored in davis as long as you have friends to hang out with. what would you do in sc instead? the beach? well thats not gonna entertain you forever. its the people you surround yourself with that make a college enjoyable or not. dont shoot a school down because you think its in a boring city. imo, sc is pretty boring with all those trees...

 

we have mountain roads in back of our school. THAT ENDS SANTA CRUZ BEING BORING. Santa Cruz FTW.

 

we actually have cows here too lol. Davis donated them to us I think :P

 

I have been here for two years and haven't seen a single cow....

Yeah, it isn't that bad up here. I have to agree, housing is easy to find, businesses are pretty pro-students, and yeah. I like it here. Sure, there isn't anything to do at 1 in the morning, but quite frankly.... I should be sleeping. Come on up and check out the town, campus, and yeah. If you like it, you like it. If you don't, no hard feelings.

 

yeah which ones are the hippie colleges?
bcuz i definitely want to stay clear of them.
i want to focus on my studies, since i've wasted 4yrs in JC.

 

what's wrong w/ the parking? bcuz i will be driving everyday from Campbell on 17

 

why is BME such much better than a plain econ major? cud u go into depth if u've got the time? bcuz I do kno that the BME major is REALLY popular, but i've like to get the perspective of an actual BME major if u don't mind bro?

 

Parking/permit parking isnt all that bad at ucsc every time iv been up there i found a space but beware no one seems to be able to park their prius without hitting something (my truck twice a few years back) Good luck

 

As of right now I do eventually want to be a professor
(mainly for the summer vactions w/ my family)
but i want to work in the real world and get some good experiene before i start spitting out the knowledge to young impressionable minds.
so i difinitely want to go to grad school for either econ or get an mba
then start working
OR
just get the masters and then try to get into law school and be a lawyer for a few years then go into teaching profession after i get tired of practicing law.
i have no probs w/ the extra schooling.
those are my options as of now

 

Don't choose a school based predominantly on "hippies" or "cows." Visit both, talk to advisors, talk to students/faculty at the schools, etc. Make up your own mind as to where you'll spend the next ~2 years of your life, as you'll be happier in the long run. How well you do in college (and the opportunities it provides) will be a product of your effort. It sounds like you have a variety of options to explore, so good luck.

You don't have to worry about preaching to the choir... I have a B.A. in Environmental Analysis & Design from UCI, an M.A. in Urban Planning from UCLA, attended Law School for a brief period (withdrew because wasn't a right fit for me), and I am now getting an MBA/M.S. in Environmental Management at USF. My fiance and her friends joke that I should just take MCAT since I've taken just about every other standardized test.

Bottom line is you can be happy whereever you go, just do you best job chosing based on what you feel strongest about and pick one. Davis is closer to to tahoe, and is more pf a party scene, but santa cruz has a lot to offer too. its a tough choice.
