Major: Economics (This Major's Salary over time)
I am extremely satisfied with my experience at Elmhurst College. I was pleasantly surprised by my education at this institution. Elmhurst College nurtured me to succeed, challenged me to achieve my personal best, provoked me into deep thought. I feel that a quality person should be someone that is well-rounded. Yes, it is important to memorize facts and data, but that is not what business life is all about. One needs to be able to analyze problems and situations as they occur and resolve them according to the business needs. If you were only taught to regurgitate what you memorized without any capacity to resolve problems, you will be in for a major life lesson in the real world. Situations in the business environment require you to be able to think on your feet quickly and solve problems. That is what makes you a productive employee. That is what Elmhurst College has taught me well and it has come into play in the real world. Creativity is what counts in the real world not just following directions from a work supervisor. If you just follow instruction, you will stay a low level employee for life. Elmhurst College has instructed me in being creative and to refine that trait. I had class projects that took into account prior class knowledge in order perform the project correctly. This college shaped me into relying on my prior education to maximize all present class projects. I recieved an excellent education and credit the college for my current business success. Even through this current recession I was able to retain my emplyoment, while others lost theirs because they were not properly educated through their university. ELmhurst College is a Liberal Arts institution because they believe, and I agree, that a person needs to know more then just the major that they are studing. I believe in this college so much that I have provided my e-mail address to assist anyone in whatever questions that they may have about my experience at Elmhurst College. I am not like others that are afraid to post their e-mail address because they have bitterly lied about their experiences at this higher educational institution. I believe that they did not prepare themselves adequately in high school and so they were not of college material. Their declared major states it all.
