"General Studies"? WTF is that? My Prep school High School had such a track, it was where they dumped all the dummies not capable for the college track.
You know, Earth Science rather than Biology and/or Chemistry.
Algerba in HIGH SCHOOL rather than Geometry or Trig.
You want to live in NYC, then you need to 4.0 all your classes and and average!
Take the xtra classes to get you at an advanced level, so you will be accepted at a TOP university!!
Again, ace you classes, 4.0, choose a major and field of study which is in demand in NYC and is VERY lucrative. After your Junior year of superlative performance, apply and be accepted as an "Intern" at a top firm in the area of study you have chosen
In your Senior year, perform equally superlatively, and get anogher Internship.
In your Junior and Senior year prepare and attend on campus recruitment sessions.
Oh! I forgot to mention find a mentor ASAP! A professor impressed with your effort, performance and intellect. Develop a personal relationship. This mentor will be instrumental in aiding your efforts at securing a good internship. The mentor will also be instrumental in guiding your college career and introducing you to people in business who matterr in establishing your career.
Consider an advanced degree. Depending upon your chosen field either immediately after undergrad school, and/or a couple years after you enter the workforce.
In either case you want to be recruited into a top firm's training program.
You want to live the "TV" life the you MUST earn a significant income. You MUST be prepared to do whatever it takes to be the VERY best!!
TV isn't real, and you are fantasizing w/o knowing reality. What I've given you is very real advice.
A degree from Pooduck University dosen't mean anything. A Junior College degree isn't worth more than a High School diploma, unless you happen to obtain some specialized training; and most of those type of jobs, aren't found in NYC. Computerized machine operators don't live in Manhattan!
