I didn't know what to major in, so I figured I'd start with a more cost-effective community college and transfer to a state college in two years. Now, I'm a business operations director at LinkedIn without an MBA or Ivy League education. I didn't know what I wanted to do and was willing to take any job. After about two years in product management, LinkedIn contacted me directly about their global ad operations job.
