Trailblazers

The purpose of Trailblazers is to educate freshmen business students on the various types of highly sought-after careers they can pursue as well as provide them with honest perspectives on what it is like to work in and recruit for those careers. Currently, freshmen seeking to learn about a particular career in-depth have to join clubs or programs dedicated to that field, essentially forcing them to commit to that profession without full knowledge. By contrast, Trailblazers aims to give young business students all the knowledge they need up front, allowing them to make the best possible decision as to their chosen pathway. Supplying this broad swathe of information at an early stage is crucial, as many of the most sought-after business roles (consulting, banking, etc.) are primarily broken into via internships that open soon after one’s freshman year. As such, it is nowadays almost a necessity that business students with goals to enter competitive fields have their career pathways set by the end of their first year. Hopefully, with the influence of Trailblazers, more Texas A&M students can find their perfect path at the right time, setting them up to land top-quality roles and elevating the standing of Mays Business School for years to come.
