-: For me, I wanted to be in manufacturing,
so my major was Operations Management,
which is now Supply Chain and Logistics
at the Miller College of Business.
I think the first step is,
what type of company do you want to work for?
If you want to work for a bank,
you might want to kind of
major in accounting of finance,
because the understanding of how
the accounting practices may be beneficial
when you're managing an IT project for a bank.
But at the same side of it, you could
major in Information Technology and be an IT major
and still get in, into it.
So it's really easy to get into that.
But key things that you need to know is
you need to be able to know how to manage a budget.
So you're gonna need some general accounting information
and to understand how businesses do their finances,
because your project is going,
it's gonna involve managing the budget.
Understanding how to organize people
and communicate clearly is really important,
because on lots of projects, you may have 10 people
or you may have 50 people on the project.
And as the project manager, you're responsible for
coordinating all of those people,
making sure that they understand, here's the scope of work.
Here's when we need to have it done.
Here's our position to our schedule.
And when things fall behind, you've gotta be able
to pull those people together,
get them back on track, and keep the project moving forward.
Definitely find an internship.
Even if it's not something that is
directly related to the type of job that you want
or in the type of department that you want
or even the type of company you want,
because any experience is good experience.
Just about any job that you're going to have,
you need to be an effective communicator.
Leadership skills are beneficial.
So those two things you can get at any company,
any type of internship, any department.
You can learn those two things with whatever you pick.
