My major was history with minors in African American Studies and Sociology.

Rotolo's, Plucker's, and Brightside all hired me.

British companies are always better to work for in the United States. The British put a lot of extra thought into retirement benefits.

Enterprise. Gave us the tools to be our own boss. Excellent corporate structure.

Roommate took a highly competitive job in Internal Auditing at Enron right after graduation. Needless to say, it didn't last long.

EE in the 90s, I was ROTC so went into the Army, but Texas Instruments and AMD seemed like the big ones for that degree.

LSUCIA program made it pretty easy to get FTE at a number of different companies. Big 4 plus the next 2-3 major CPA firms usually had the most number of resume drops and available positions, but there were about 30-40 companies looking to staff through the program.


LSUCIA in the mid to late 00’s was such a cheat code. Even if you didn’t want to do internal audit, it was so easy to get your foot in the door of companies that otherwise weren’t recruiting at LSU - particularly if you wanted to go to NYC.

You do realize that 70% of all fans didn't even attend much less graduate from their favorite college team right?

Enron


Had a friend who worked there and was getting stock or options (maybe buying them) every paycheck.

He had 150k on paper at age 27 or so, then poof, it was gone and no one to even ask where the money went.

They destroyed a lot of people financially
