Career Development

Lets face it. We are all here to gain the knowledge and training needed to begin a career. Why not start early, that way there won’t be a frantic rush to find a job during the spring before you graduate.

We strongly recommend creating a network of individuals that can give you options. Starting here on campus.

Be Passionate!

An SDSU alum, Steve Ross, serves as an executive-in-residence for financial planning in the College of Business Administration. Ross received his bachelor’s degree from SDSU in 1989 and shortly thereafter began pursuing his passion of investing.

He worked for such companies as T. Rowe Price, Merrill Lynch and Lincoln National. In 1994, Ross began working for Nicholas Applegate, an asset management firm in San Diego and, within 10 years, he had become an executive committee member and lead portfolio manager of several billion dollars in U.S. stocks. Ross was also a pioneer in the managed accounts business, one of the fastest growing on Wall Street. He has been seen on CNN and quoted in USA Today, Investors Business Daily, and The Washington Post, among others.

Today, Ross looks forward to teaching, mentoring and inspiring students at SDSU as he assumes the position of executive-in-residence. With the experience and knowledge he gained on Wall Street, he brings critical elements of success to students and faculty. You can attend a lecture by him through the Finance & Investment Society.
