Graduation for School

I was just wondering what everyone did for a living (I hope this is stepping over the line)?

I am graduating in the fall from WSU with a bachelors in management and a psych. minor and dont exactly know what to do with it, because the market kinda sucks right now . I need some suggestions from you guys if you would be willing to suggest companies in the area (NW). I am thinking about a HR position or something like entry level management, but I would also love to be in the casino business (HR manager)...I am thinking about Nike, Bowflex or some large company where I can make a difference and work my way up eventually.

I need to make enough to cover my car payment, and if i have to i'll live out of it to keep for a while j/k. Any advice would be great, thanks.

now you have to ask yourself. was it worth getting the evo in school, and being broke as hell? if u couldnt afford it in the longrun prolly not a good idea to buy it. go with the managment thoug. psych isnt gonna get u anywhere. most mid scale to larger companies have positions open. at leat start there and work your way up to a job or company u really like working for.

Getting a HR position can be very difficult. Entry level management can be a challange too, but there are always recruiters looking for good canidates. Your best bet is to attend some of your school's job fairs.

Bowflex is located in the Portland/Vancouver area.

Glad I never spent my money on cars when I was younger. Buy rental properties instead and you can retire by 40. Those majors a dime a dozen. Your only real options are grad school or sales. Otherwise Starbucks is hiring.

I put my money into stocks not property to much around here, we dont have horribly trashy areas where you can buy a home for $30,000 like you guys in NY. but thanks for the advice kordwood your kind of a d!ck to be honest though stay in your portion of the country...
