A bachelor`s degree in business administration opens the door to all sorts of things, especially sales. If you love dealing with people and love the thrill of chasing and winning (which is very concrete, not just inventing), then your business degree will also bring you success – if you have a love of psychology, then you`ll need a master`s degree anyway – your business student won`t stop you from taking the next step. Happy Thursday!! I start school again and I went back and forth on what I needed to study. Right now, I don`t have a major and have simply decided to follow the business transfer trail to my local community college. I worked as an assisted living administrator for 8 months and currently work as an administrative assistant. So I have first-hand experience. I was thinking of staying at my current company for a year, the time to gain more knowledge in the field, progress a little more and continue my studies. I would like to become an executive assistant and grow from there. As with any degree, you can take elective courses. Just find a specialization in the business degree and you`ll be fine. With each major, it`s really up to you and what you do with it. However, the truth is that typical prestigious fields of activity are very prestigious.
The name of your university is very important. The real choice is between which university. A business degree from Wharton or Berkeley Haas is infinitely preferable to a financial degree from a random public school, and vice versa. Basically, all prestigious business jobs have a target university and I don`t recommend pursuing a business degree without attending some sort of target university or unless you already have a good job and just need the degree to tick a box. However, I`m pretty well off financially now and the MBA gives you tools to solve business problems, but it`s also good for networking. Personally, I recouped my investment, but many of my cohort didn`t expect it. I`ve heard that it`s harder to find a job because you have to put in more effort to stand out. If possible, try not to stay in general business administration and try to specialize in a particular concentration. No degree is guaranteed anyway to get you a job, so don`t let “useless” comments come to you, I`d say business admin, you can always be in secondary finances if you really want to.
But the administration will give you enough financial foundation that if you want to eventually focus on that in your career, you can. Even as a woman, you`ll probably find more women in administration than in finance, if you want to consider that. I am 18 years old in my 2nd semester of university, I am currently going to business management school, but I don`t want to run a business, I want to be a senior executive, but I see a lot of people saying that a degree in business management is useless, is it really useless should I get a degree in marketing or stay with business management because it is oversaturated. Many people who are undecided gravitate towards business, so you have many more graduates than there are jobs. It`s not useless, it`s just a crowded field that won`t get you a good job with graduation alone. You need an internship/experience/knowing the right people to get your foot in the door. A degree in politics and business helps narrow it down and provide educational diversity, but again, you`ll still encounter the need for graduate school, internships, and getting to know people. A management degree gives you plenty of places to start. Management degrees are good for working in human resources. These types of jobs tend to go well in senior management. While business analysis is a good specialization for a management degree, don`t let yourself think you need a CS minor or similar.
Most of what you are going to do will be done in Excel and maybe in Access. Specialising or doing a major double job such as marketing, market research, and highly lucrative business-to-business sales jobs are some of the careers that people with a business degree are oriented towards. Even if you want to work in small businesses such as local real estate companies, car sales, or RVs, the business degree is designed to prepare people to handle these tasks professionally. Students learn how to make a deal, work with people, and be persuasive. It`s so funny to me that the company is so chaotic. For me, this world has always been the boring world of quarterly reports and standard procedures. Now I feel very stable in my studies. I did two semesters of business at university before moving into programming and getting a job in market research scripting online surveys. 10 years later, I`m a project manager and I`m applying some of what I`ve learned in my business classes.
I was surprised because a lot of people told me that. I once thought about doing a minor in economics for my degree in political science. Someone who has a business degree, why is that and how do you feel about your major? Thank you very much! In addition to what many other people have said about it being broad, I think it doesn`t have much value just because a lot of people study in business rather than a more specialized field. An associate`s degree in business is not worth much. If you look at company-related online job postings, you`ll see that the vast majority of employers are looking for candidates with a bachelor`s degree or higher. Acquiring an employee can help you get promoted to an executive assistant position at your company, but you could have much better job opportunities with a bachelor`s degree. Joke. How about if you get a job in the business world, you muppet. Because when you graduate, you acquire unnecessary skills, unlike STEM majors. I am a psychologist who got into logistics and supply chain myself.
I almost got a job as a broker a few years ago. Would have been in interstate perishable foods. Definitely quite an exciting but stressful job. I probably would have loved it. Yes, the business world is a very vast and all-encompassing ocean, you might be surprised to study accounting and find colleagues with people who are in chemistry, psychology and econ majors (real example of the accounting department where my mother works). I just switched from freelance IT to enterprise computing and the is that it`s all just a mess of anyone doing anything. I can`t believe that big companies operate like that. But I can do it too. It`s frowned upon, I think, because people with these majors don`t really know what they want to do and just chose this major because of the scale. Then they graduate and don`t get a job because it`s too broad. Don`t worry, business school knows that all it can do is teach you the basics.
That`s because any industry you enter is incredibly complex and requires specific knowledge. I`ve almost finished my MBA and I can say that no one in my classes knows much about how my industry works (I had to watch them make plans about it), and I don`t know theirs. I feel bad for the guys in the video game industry who had to watch my presentation on Activision If you`re already at the bottom, I suggest you stop and move on. A business degree won`t necessarily stop you from taking on an entry-level position in the psyche while you`re working on the master`s degree. Many people have jobs that have nothing to do with their degree. Please do not do a major in the BUS administration. Major in literally everything in business, including marketing. Don`t choose the generic business administration degree and complain to everyone about how degrees don`t get you a job these days and don`t do a BA major. Specialize in something else. For example, my school has a major in “General Business Studies,” which they call BA, but they also have Accounting, GIS, Economics, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Global Business Management, Human Resources, Management, and Marketing under their business faculty.
What would you describe as a difficult major? Engineering-yes, biology-yes, computer science-yes, English, or anything related to the liberal arts-no. In this regard, you should know that a specialized business degree is usually more valuable than a general business degree, especially if you specialize in one of the most quantitative areas of activity: accounting, finance, operations, supply chain management, and information systems management (a degree in business informatics, sometimes called something else like information systems). Did you study a lot at the time of this degree? Was it easy? I`ve heard that business management has good jobs, but most of it is self-education and gaining work experience to get a decent job and know what you`re doing. I ask because I graduated from high school and that`s the field I want to go into because I don`t have a STEM brain. I`ve worked with so many people who have the same education as you, and they`re all doing so many different things now that you wouldn`t believe it. A business degree is a way to tell a future employer, “I can stick with something until the end, and I know the company,” and that kind of dedication and basic knowledge can be applied to a million different jobs. I was a liberal arts (psychology) student and I had it all the time, but I know for sure. What I want to do, so I never frowned.
