What Does Everyone Do For A Living?
-
Creative Director
-
University of Akron
Im an International Business Major, with a minor in Environmental Studies
Im an At-Large Senator and also the Vice Senate Chair
Nice - Student Senate is a good gig. I was on Senate during my days at good old Kent State many years ago. The best part was being part of the allocations program where there were three of us that were in charge of deciding where roughly $500k of student tuition was to be distributed amongst student organizations. We had them come in to present to us about upcoming programs or events that they needed funding for.
I learned quickly how corruption works. It seemed like every night during the funding period we would get approached at Ray's from various people involved in various organizations (the All Campus Programming Board, Black United Students, KGLF, Greek Board, etc) and be offered free drinks and such.
It was amazing how certain 'organizations' like the Kent Dance Club (girls dance team) and Sororities were getting almost all of their programs funded at that time.....!
I also learned that lifestyle wasn't one that I wanted to maintain throughout the rest of my life. Fun while it lasted, but I needed to move on.

well, twice a year to go to columbus to visit the statehouse and sit in on senate and committee meetings, as well as have meeting with state representatives. What we do in student government isnt much different, we allocate money just as squintz was saying, we write legislation to fix problems in the school and to promote the interests of the students at the school, we also do alot of volunteer work and such. We have comittees such as facilities and services, communication and correspondence, UAF allocation, Academic and Finance etc. that handle issues with the school meet with administrators, we even have a director of legislative affairs that handles state and federal political issues and brings them to senate and the rest of the organization.
Much of what Squintz was explaining may or may not be part of it, (im not sure if those kinds of things happen exactly due to all the checks and balances in our organization) but it is much like real politics...
only difference is we actually get things done in a timely manner

I wasn't knocking college politics mind you. I was knocking REAL WORLD politics.
Remember I live in a state that was 101 days late in passing it's budget because they are more worried about what will get them votes and not what needs to be done. -

I've spent 22 years cleaning latrines. I'm now a Mall Cop.
Brother, there aren't any "latrines" in the Navy!

I realize that. However when dealing with civilians it's best to say it in a word they understand. Also saying "I cleaned heads for 22 years" would get to many sarcastic comments.

Good luck Legacy. I was a pre-dent my first 2 years in college then went business. Had my sights on Pacific's 3 year program but knew it wasn't my craft after doing some assisting and seeing it all. What schools do you like?
