Arthur Monroe, Jr (Southwest Regional Southern University and A&M College class of 2005 One student wrote..... I do not believe that our school is effective at all in placing students at major corporations. I know my entire three and a half years here there has not been any one to help me plan or choose a good career path. I have many friends here at S.U. all majoring in different things and we all have the same concerns, "we hope there will be a good job waiting for us after we graduate". I think our school needs to become more envolved in the well being and future of their students. Tuesday, June 28th 2005 at 1:32PM

Arthur Monroe, Jr (Southwest Regional Southern University and A&M College class of 2005 I really do not know how to answer this question. Throughout my experiences, I have had several highs and lows regarding career placement and preparation. As an educator, who is currently seeking a certification and masters in education find it hard to relate to Fortune 500 corporations. However, I have had several friends and acqauintances who possess degrees in Business management and marketing wind up teaching elementary school because they were unsucessful in finding jobs. From my understanding they feel that they were not prepapred. They also believe that our university lacks expertise in the area of motivation and expertise in helping students find sucessful jobs. What do you think we can do? Tuesday, June 28th 2005 at 1:33PM

Arthur Monroe, Jr (Southwest Regional Southern University and A&M College class of 2005 Another student wrote....Well i also can relate to this because being a marketing major, i have yet to recieve any help in what i plan to be my "career". You would think that more people would help struggling college students but one must remember that this is the real world and in corporate America, it is every man or woman for themselves. And if you dont look out for you , no one else will. So in a way it is an advantage of not having help in order to make you stronger, mentally, and it also will prevent any future minor mistakes that may happen because you were prepared. But a helping hand is always deeply and greatly appreciated. Tuesday, June 28th 2005 at 1:34PM

Arthur Monroe, Jr (Southwest Regional Southern University and A&M College class of 2005 Another student wrote....I don't believe that Southern University is very helpful at all in creating and helping student to get jobs. I also believe that if we show more interest in these types of things then help will be given to us. I have taken it upon myself to ensure my jobs for the future because that is the type of person I am. Why do we always have to depend on the university when we should start doing things ourselves?

Arthur Monroe, Jr (Southwest Regional Southern University and A&M College class of 2005 Lisa Ventress-Development Officer responded.... I can most definitely relate to you. I have also taken the future of my career into my own hands. My major is really over looked or not really mentioned as far as career services is concerned. Through research of oppourtunities at various companies both foreign and domestic and networking, I have been successful in my quest for success. Priscilla Walls-Information Analyst responded.... I suppose it depends on the department which you are in. For example, I am in the political science department. My mentor is Doctor Perry. Now he took me and some others under his wings to guide us towards making the best decisions concerning our future careers. In addition, A young man by the name of Jason Huges has been recruited to work for a local goverment offical. Thus, if a student inquires about career opportunities in their department, I think that they will get the help that they need. However, every department is different!
