If I can't get a job in my field I plan to get a high position in SEPTA. Maybe a Public Relations officer.

But if I go for business, I would probably apply for a management or logistics job on BNSF or CSX.Never rule anything out, it dose not relay matter what you study in college as long as you go to college. I have been told by multiple people working on the railroad that if you want to be a Conductor or Engineer having a college degree will help you greatly. I have spoke to a few people who went off and worked in other fields for many years including Wall Street until they decided to come back and get there child hood dream job. Do something you enjoy for you job because you will be doing it for the rest of your life.
