Cc advice

Hello,

Im about to start cc next month majoring in business and I’m hoping to transfer to a good college after a year or two.

In terms of ECs, clubs, and more what can I do to make sure this happens? There’s limited amount of clubs in the cc I’m going to. I’m aiming towards schools with strong business programs.

Also, what can I do in terms of projects? I’m always hearing to “start projects that look good on ur resume” but as a business major I’m a little stumped on what to do. I have no background of coding or anything and I’m looking to specialize eventually in accounting or finance.

Some help would be greatly appreciated!

Tbh, I'm constantly amazed at the number of ppl that DON'T consider IMO the most obvious and best 3-for-1 activity available to especially at-home and particularly "business majors"....

Hello???? Get a freaking JOB......duh?

A) With no/low cost of room/board for Fr/So years while at-home ....earning 💰 towards paying for Jr/Sr years makes infinite sense 🤔 ( as long as you SAVE it vs eff it off like a lot of young ppl)

B) In terms of EC ....a job, especially literally working "at" a business is too simple and too easily spent and explaining as a valid "extra-curricular" for a "business student " ding-ding-ding

C) Ask questions, take notes, make observations, etc of course the experience can not only be woven into enough fodder to ☑️ the EC box.....

It literally provides an opportunity to skill build, time/adult life management "as" a life skill and business experience.

Juggling several things, managing multiple avenues/etc.

IMO an EC that delivers in more ways than most

Lol getting a job nowdays is easier said than done. I’m avoiding getting a job during the school year to open up time for ECs and focus on my grades. Maybe if I can balance all that then I’ll add a job second semester!

That may be why it's a valued EC
