Can I get business cards without having a job/business
I really think it would be awesome to have business cards with my contact info on them so when I meet someone, mostly girls I can just say "we should get together sometime", and hand them my card and walk off, instead of scrambling for a pen and paper. But I am a college student and don't have a job. Can I still have business cards without having a job?

Re: Can I get business cards without having a job/business
yes. in fact many people do this so they have a card to give to future employers so they can actually have a business to put on their card.
you can actually get the cards for free from a lot of places. just pay shipping. yes, not technically free, but mad cheap. google it.

No. The Companies who make business cards get an employment history before they let you buy them.
Also, I always thought people who gave out business cards non-professionally were huge tools. -d

[ QUOTE ] Also, I always thought people who gave out business cards non-professionally were huge tools. -d [/ QUOTE ] I strongly disagree. I have business cards printed for me every year and the only thing I use them for is filters for joints. If you want to be defined by your job then handing out a business card (in a non-business interaction) is the way to go. If you want to give the other person some contact info (name, address, tel num, email info, etc...), having a non-work related business card (or calling card as Blarg so adequatly put it) is a great thing to do. Being defined as a person by what you do for a living is one of the biggest traps our society has put us in. I work to live, I don't live to work, so unless you need my OFFICE info, to connect with me about my WORK, you aren't getting my "business card" (which, like I said, I rarely if ever hand out anyway).
