Dear Mylotters,I know all kind of people are here so i would like to ask what kind of job or business would you do if you are undergraduate but very smart and good with people and specially if you have leadership quality.Now a days in the world doing a job means staying away from family for long long time.We earn money,we give good lifestyle to our family but what about ourselves? we work 8 hours everyday,even more and at night we sleep.This is not life right?

I am a wife and mother of three children. I am finishing up on my Accounting degree. I also work a fulltime job for the County Courts. It is hard and I feel guilty as a mother at times but it has to be done. My husband is also in school and works as well. We work different shifts so that one of us is with our children at all times. We also use our weekends as family time. I tend to do my studying during my breaks at work and at night when everyone is asleep so that I dont miss out on much. I know all of this is for a good reason and to benefit my family in the long run. i would tell you to just look for something you enjoy to do.

Ok that is good.you are very hardworking woman.You are completing accounting degree.I have had a long gap and i am no more interested in taking degree and the main thing is i dont like to work under anyone else.I would like to start my own business without much investment.I enjoy spending time on computer so i should do business related to computers.but the problem is , i dont get proper support for that,everyone wants me to get educate.But i dont believe that if i dont get degree then i cant earn more.because most of the businessmen are uneducated but they are on top of the world.

I am an undergraduate. Nobody wants to hired me. I tried applying for jobs, they don't want to hire people like me. So, what I did is, I looked for the ones who are looking for people just like me. I found sales companies looking for sales representative. I applied and I was hired. I did my best and excelled sales. In the end, I earned far bigger than those graduates who are working for fixed salary type of income. I now manage my own business, a pharmacy business. I am now an undergraduate who can hire graduates!

If I am an undergraduate student, I will earn money through part-time job. I think working in a cafeteria or a faculty within the campus is ideal although the payment rate is not as high as outside firms. This is because a student should put his or her priority in study rather than working busily for money.
