[quote]The fields where you are most likely to be treated like shit at the entry-level are probably the fields you’re interested in (finance, black letter law, consulting). Forget starting clubs, show direction. A bunch of scattered EC’s are worthless, stick to specific subjects. Find your signature issue. Leading a club related to ethnicity is a big deal now (if you’re a typical WASP that won’t work out, though), as are clubs relating to political ideals.
Become the treasurer of the student government. Go talk to your career development office on a constant basis. Join Toastmasters. Try and find work at a bank part-time in a sales position working on commission during the year if you can fit it in. Go through alumni databases and get in contact with companies now. Use google to find recruiter e-mails, even for companies that don’t list internships and send out some feelers in a field you care about. It’s ridiculously easy to find government internships at the state level, and while you don’t want it to be your signature internship (junior year) you should be able to get a position like that at other times.[/quote]
I started the Italian Club in High School, I was President.
I was also President of Spanish Club in High School.
Post college I dicked around in community college, and sold drugs, and had sex with females.
I tried to make the wrestling team but was in such shitty shape from hard drug use, I peeled off pretty quick.
I managed to get into state Uni, after I straightened myself up and my friend and I started a club called Hisla of which I’m a founding member which is a Hispanics and Latinos Club, we appeal to people who are learning Spanish too.
Then I started a grappling club with my other friend.
My teacher’s think I’m an asshole cuz I rarely show up to class, I like to just drop off assignments in their mail boxes and am invisible on email.
I don’t disrespect people, I just don’t like to deal with irrational bullshit.
I’m pretty cool, if you tell me what to do, I just can’t deal with power tripping.
I’ve problems controlling my anger from that in the past.
My new goal, is to not draw attention to myself ever, and find the power players wherever I’m at and move forward.
Blatant aggression gets you nowhere.
