How important is a persons academic major in their career success?

Pete Pendergast – Dow Corporation I think if you are going into business I don’t think it really matters if you have finance degree, accounting, sales or marketing, if you’re going into a business function like purchasing, supply chain those kinds of things. I think any of those basic business degrees will prepare you for the job, because I think most of the training comes on the job. So we look in general for people with business degrees, we focus on marketing for our sales jobs but we will also evaluate other candidates.

What is your question?

*Sadly, we had to bring back ads too. Hopefully more targeted.
