“I’m a management major, so I feel like it’s a broad spectrum and you’re not going to go into any job [that’s] entry level [and be a] manager. Also, I feel like living in New York, it’s going to be hard to find a place to live, save money and [maintain] the lifestyle that I like. I think [the Zarb School of Business] is accessible, [but] more for majors [other] than mine. Management is so broad; it’s hard to be able to have that networking, unlike finance and accounting majors. They have societies, all these events, and can say, ‘Oh, I got my CPA here, I know this guy, they can help me out.’ I feel like when it [comes to] management majors] it’s like, ‘What are you going to do?’ I was looking for [a sense of] direction and they were like, ‘Yeah, go to Handshake!’ What do you think I’ve been doing? I need something more than that. I go to as many [of the] business school’s events that I can fit into my schedule. If something is interesting to me, I try to go out to them. There’s one about some guy that’s in the cannabis industry who used to work on Wall Street and I want to go to see what he has to say. When you do finance or accounting, it’s so specific. You know exactly what you want to do, how you’re going to do it. As far as job searching and stuff like that, I had to direct myself and … kind of look within myself [and ask myself], ‘Amani, what did you like in school?’ I feel like there should be more workshops or even events for management majors so that way they can have more direction in their life, because no student is going to leave college and go into a management level [position]. We need a little bit more direction. As far as Hofstra, I love Hofstra, but I feel like they can definitely do better.”
