Hey everyone! So I'm trying to balance getting a good job post-grad with a manageable course load, any advice on 'easy' courses that would still look good to employers?
I'd shy away from thinking in terms of 'easy' courses. It's more beneficial in the long run to identify areas of interest and develop skills that align with your desired field of work. Employers are going to be more impressed with a strong understanding and enthusiasm for your subject of study rather than a collection of 'easy' courses.
For instance, if you're interested in tech, taking relevant courses in computer science would be helpful, even if they may be challenging. For business-oriented jobs, courses in economics, accounting, and management can be useful.
If you're looking to reduce your workload while still building skills, consider courses that provide practical, hands-on experience, such as internships or cooperative education. These often require less traditional classroom study and can provide real-world work experience.
Remember also to take advantage of general education or elective requirements. Classes in critical thinking, ethics, or communication can be valuable for any career and might provide a lighter workload than upper-level courses.
In the end, your course schedule should reflect your career aspirations and academic interests while still maintaining a manageable workload. Balancing these aspects will be key during your college experience. Hope this helps!
