Should I graduate this year with a degree in HTM or transfer schools and get a business degree?

So the story is that I was attending Umass where I was on the soccer team, and going into my senior year while getting a degree in Hospitality Tourism Management (HTM). I originally wanted to major in Management or Finance, but since the business school there wouldn’t let me in even with a 3.5 GPA and the fact that I already was a junior I settled on majoring in HTM and right now I’m 9 classes away from graduating on time this year. Anyway, soccer sort of fell through with the coaches this year, and I have the opportunity to transfer into Rutgers at the last minute. I’ve already got accepted into the business school where I can major in either Management or Finance and get a degree in business. The thing is I would have to go to school an extra year. So my situation is do I go back to Umass where all my friends are, it’s a fun school, and graduate on time with an HTM degree or do I go to Rutgers and get a business degree, but live at home and have to go to school for an extra year.

You’re so close to graduating at UMass (Amherst, right?), and you like the school. Unless you know that you don’t want to do HTM or anything related to it, I’d have you stay and graduate. After all, you can work a couple of years in the industry, and if you decide to change to finance or move away from THM, you can get your Master’s degree.

In what state do you plan to work once you graduate? Outside of Massachusetts, UMass Amherst has a very strong reputation. Their HTM program is also considered strong. I don’t see the reputation of Rutgers as being all that much stronger than that of UMass Amherst – not strong enough to prompt a transfer when you’re only 9 classes from graduating.

Have you done any internships or worked part-time at the campus hotel or another campus facility in a role that’s related to your degree? Since this is your last year, and you’re no longer doing soccer, this could be an opportunity for you do to an internship, co-op or part-time work in HTM. This would make you much more attractive to employers when you graduate.

So, unless you KNOW that you don’t want anything to do with HTM, I’d stay put. Graduate. Work a couple of years. Then see what path you want to take.

Do you have non very own loan economic help at UMASS. I ought to think of in case you purchased dumped from the gang, your no longer getting an athletic scholarship? If Rutgers is is providing you with an athletic scholarship for this year and an option for next year nicely then thats a loose degree at a greater advantageous college in a greater marketable field. as nicely one greater year of faculty ability and greater year of partying and faculty existence, new pals, new romances, etc. Who says you should stay at domicile the two you should purely as actually proceed to exist campus considering i assume your athletic supply might pay that. My purely situation could be if for some reason you weren’t accomplished on the top of the greater year considering you purely have 5 years (10 semesters of eligibility) so in case you probably did no longer graduate on time you should no longer do soccer.
