Reply to How much would you say a University of Maine degree is valued? by edsheeranismyking
A business degree alone won’t get you many promising interviews immediately after graduation. Get an internship (or two) while still in school. Try to do some part time work relevant to the field you hope to get into. I have a business degree from USM (2015) and now am fortunate enough to have a director level role with a large company in Southern New England (HQ’d in a city). If you want to be in Boston, yeah I think your suspicion is right that you may get overlooked for resumes with larger schools. Maybe take a gig for a year and a half in a smaller market and leverage that experience into a Boston opportunity.
