Major: Other (This Major's Salary over time)
GT is good preparation for how to prepare for disappointment but actually be rewarded for hard work. I'm not really smart, so I worked extremely hard, sacrificing many weekends when I started there, but that eventually got better. I graduated with honors, so it's possible to achieve goals there, even if your grades are not always what you were hoping for every time. If you truly like your major, you can excel and your interests/enthusiasm will be apparent to potential employers. I'm going to start a master's part time while working (GSU real estate), and I think GT's rigors will have prepared me for this challenge. Honestly, the effort in the professional world at this point is much less for the reward (pay increase, grad school admission) and a lot of it has to do with the work ethic instilled from putting in the time and energy to reach the goal.
