Choose Wisely – Who Moved The Cheese?
The
flip side to choosing a major is selecting
which classes to take to complete your degree.
Assuming you do not declare a minor and
have some room to work with, you will have
the choice to select easy, straightforward
classes or opt for classes that challenge
you.
Take classes that will complete you as a
person. Recognize your weaknesses so you
can compensate them. Take classes that interest
you so you can be ahead of the curve while
others are agonizing over their boredom.
Business
classes and the overall curriculum are helpful
in breaking up any situation and seeing
what the various roads to take are. This
being said, many of the world’s problems
cannot be put in a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats) analysis in the
hope of coming out with a best alternative.
The world is complex and no two people or
situations are alike. This said, using a
SWOT analysis remains very much in vogue
these days.
As
companies tackle on new issues in new countries:
- Anthropology and Geography classes will
help you in your development as an entrepreneur
or a company person.
- History classes will help you understand
the future.
- Sociology and Psychology
classes will give you a leg up on everyone
else when it comes to getting the most out
of your employees, earning the trust of
colleagues and the respect of your boss
– if
you choose to have one that is.
