It Takes More Than A Major Original post: Tue 11/15/2016 at 9:39 PM

The real world is a lot more competitive. Even with a degree we are not necessarily guaranteed a job once out of college. However, after reading this article and giving it some thought, I feel slightly relieved. We go to a liberal arts school and even though along the way quest and ID may have seemed like extra work, I am glad to have taken the courses I have. I feel like Bethany has helped to shape me into a more rounded individual and that now I am more aware of the world than just myself. I think this could potentially help me when I graduate and am looking for a job.

True, especially considering the whole online portfolio thing, and how future employers are interested in that, possibly. My only thing, though, is that Bethany should really consider requiring more productive and focused assignments to be posted into foliotek, so it isn't just random artifacts for the employers to sift through. I kind of think of it like, how easily they throw out resumes because of unnecessary inclusions, or wrong entries..we have a lot of that in foliotek.
