Major: Accounting (This Major's Salary over time)
I received an accounting degree from Jackson State University. The university has an exceptional career placement center. Students are also allowed to participate in other programs such as the National Association of Black Accountants, Engineers, Journalism, etc. JSU is a very good school only if you take advantage of what they have to offer. To many people go to JSU expecting things to be handed to them. Not true. The professor will flunk your behind and tell you to come back next semester. It is serious business around JSU. Sometimes people have a false opinion because the school is not in a neighborhood like Mississippi College, Millsaps, or Belhaven. However, JSU has alumni all over. I graduated in 2008 and I currently work for a Big 4 accounting firm. I have other friends who are at Fortune 500 companies all around the country. If you work hard and intern, you can have a full time job in DC, Atlanta, Memphis, Jackson, Houston, Wichita, Omaha, Chicago, New York, or Dallas. JSU also has students that go to Cornell, Harvard, Carnegie Mellon, NYU, etc. The bottom line is that Jackson State is a good school. However, if you are not willing to work hard then you will be bitter. Furthermore, I hate that some of the good ladies in financial services are given a bad rep because of their fellow co-workers. JSU's worst department overall is financial services. The lack of professionalism stinks. If you don't like your job, please quit. Another thing, dress professionally. Act like you want to be there.
