Top 10 Things A Business Student Should Have Before She Dies or Graduates

Here is a list of the Top Ten Things a Business Student should have for College and hang on to throughout a Business Career.

1.	Caffeine – $1.00 – if you pay more then a dollar for a caffeinated beverage, you haven’t done a proper cost-benefit analysis, but you definitely don’t want to fall asleep during Corporate Finance or your prof. WILL call on you!
2.	TI-83 graphing calculator with instruction booklet – $100 – because you look smart when you whip this thing out everytime anyone starts to calculate something.
3.	Warren Buffet’s Annual Reports – Free – http://www.berkshirehathaway.com/ – This man knows what good business is all about!
4.	finance.yahoo.com – Free – Every stock price, graph of a company’s financial history, every beta.
5.	Wall Street Journal – varies in price – Students get a deep discount, get addicted now.
6.	Pizza – varies in price – Take a break from ramen!
7.	Seth Godin – Free – He is the ultimate Marketing Guru, use his tricks to write your final report for Marketing 101: Seth’s blog – http://sethgodin.typepad.com/
8.	Financial Management Textbook – approximately $200 and guaranteed to break your arm off – You will read this more after you graduate.
9.	Microsoft Excel – price depends on student/non-student – you will use Excel thousands of times before you graduate — LEARN IT NOW!
10.	Market Research and Article Databases – Free/Not so free – When you are at the University, the school pays for these big expensive data collections; when you work for a big company, the Company pays. Either way, you have to know how to use them! Source: ListAfterList.com
