I am thinking about changing my major from Biology (which is not for me) to business.... Maybe business management? If anyone has earned this degree, what kind of job are you working as and do you like it? Also, what jobs can you get with this degree? What do they do and how much do they pay? Thanks!!!

This degree offers a lot of flexibility and choice in your career. You can work in the corporate sector as anything from a business development officer to solutions manager, from marketing executive to trends research analyst. You can also choose to go into the banking/financial sectors, insurance and assurance, the Government, public administration and even education.\n\nSince this degree course is popular, and more and more people are becoming qualified in this area, the initial remuneration that you will get will not be that high. So I suggest you specialise in a certain area of business. You can opt to do a Masters in that specialised field or just choose to gain work experience in that particular area of your interest. When you are a specialist you will get paid more. One of the highest paid specialist areas is remising. Being a remisier, or a stockbroker, is a challenging but well-paid vocation. Check it out to see if it's your cuppa. Anyway best of luck!

I would suggest that you do a little soul searching and decide what type of career you would like to pursue then match your college major to your goals. That said, a bachelors in marketing would be much more beneficial to your career than an associates degree in business.

I have a degree in Human Resource Manage.  I also have a degree in Business Management.  (I have an MBA too, but who is counting?)  \n\nFirst off, HR people, unless you get high up in a major corp (which often means you need a Master's and possibly a law degree as well) do not make a great deal of money, usually, especially starting out...but that is the same for marketing as well.  Typically, HR majors who want to work in that field get jobs as recruiters right out of college.  This is a cool job.  You are pretty much selling jobs.  You get to go to career fairs and things like that.  I think it would be fun.  \n\nHowever, a common misconception is that HR people make hiring decisions for companies.  This is just not the case.  Well, it may be the case for positions that require no skill or have no competition, but for skilled and competitive positions, managers make the decisions, HR just screens the people. HR has become a safety vale, more or less.  Due to employment law, our sue happy society and other factors, the HR position has become an organizations primary CYA mechanism.\n\nI don't know that one degree is better than the other.  It depends on what you want to do, in the end, I guess.  Both degrees build a foundation for success.  Both degrees provide you a foundation of education reguarding general business practice, which is marketable.  However, neither degree provides you with a specific skill that an organization needs.  (trust me, I know...I hae been there)  \n\nI don't believe one decision is better than the other.  Each degree program is respectable, relevant and marketable.  Beyond college, continued education and career experience will become much more important.  By gaining either degree, you will have put yourself in a position to become successful, which is what we all want, right?

Bad idea. That is what I have and never helped me with getting jobs. Better to specialize somewhat but still keep is somewhat broad like a BA or BS in Business, economics, etc.. Employers seem to like that better I have found.

Firstly - don't major in biology just because you want to go to med school.  A solid biology education is helpful, but med schools are (supposedly) increasingly more interested in people with varied backgrounds!  A biology major is not required... though you will have to meet some basic course requirements.  (Experience working in a medical setting is often useful!)\n\nIf you do choose biology, you could always do research and/or teach!  There are MANY other jobs though... check out this list!  http://www.utexas.edu/student/careercenter/careers/biology.pdf\n\nGood luck!

There are lots of jobs using molecular biology - in the biotech industry, forensics, academic and medical research. The real question is whether you have the kind of skills needed in these fields, and if you enjoy using them. If you are analytical, curious, like problem solving and working in a technical field, you may enjoy it. There are definitely lots of job opportunities out there, all over the world. The best thing is to try and get yourself some experience of lab work before you commit to this as a career. Go and talk to some biochemists/molecular biologists at the nearest college (there are also usually academic advisors available to help you).\n\nI'm a biochemist, which is one of the fields which uses molecular biology. And in my experience it is sometimes fun, often rewarding, and just as often annoying, frustrating and tedious. But even at its worst, it beats office work any time.\n\nGood luck!

When I was an undergrad freaking out about my major, the best advice I got was to do the following: Pick up a copy of your university's catalog, somewhere near the front of it will most likely be a list of all the possible majors at your school.  Now, go through and cross off everything you know you definitly DON'T want to do.\n\nIt was simple advice but it helped me so much.  I was overwhelmed with possibilities, once I was able to narrow down my options (in this way), I felt like I could more easily choose.  \n\nI think that will help you a lot.\n\nThen, yes, go talk to your advisor and anyone else you know that has a job you might be interested in.\n\nAnd finally, your major does not decide your life.  Most businesses are interested in you having an undergraduate degree, from there you can always go to graduate school once you have a more specific set of career goals.

For ANY biology major, you will need to take general biology. That's a given, that is a requirement for any bio major. It's only after general bio where you diverge into more specilized fields (depending on what your college/university offers).\n\nWhat I would advise is to make good friends in general bio and form study groups. Take tutorials. And suck it up if you might not do so great in general bio. You will be up against cutthroat pre-meds, so competition's going to be stiff in gen. bio., but don't let it get you down.\n\nafter that, you start choosing the coursework you like. If there are zoology, envi. sci., or physiology departments at your college, look online at their curricula. What are the requirements? What suits you best? Choose accordingly.\n\nI started out as "integrative biology" (which had an organismal, evolutionary emphasis on biology), but I ultimately earned my degree in molecular cell biology. At the time, it seemed like a decent fit for what I wanted to do (although in retrospect, I think I'd have been happier in IB). I hated genetics too, so I opted not to take upper div. genetics.\n\nAnyway, learn to tolerate cells, and I wish you lots of luck in your education.

I am a Graphic Designer.  I could not possibly think of a cooler job for me.  I had to work very hard to convince my parents to allow me to major in Art, they thought I would be selling paintings on the sidewalk, I guess.  But I worked very, very hard and earned my Bachelor's Degree in Fine Art and now I get paid to draw pictures everyday!  I love it!

Honey, I'm sorry... wish I could help.  But your post did catch my eye because I attended an extension of SBU for one semester.  I decided I didn't like it (as I've heard many have?).  Anyway, I wish I could be of more health.  But God be with ya.

i guess it depends where you are located. most business schools offer majors in logistics which would be worth checking out!!

An MBA would be wise and give you many options.  Most companies are run by those that have the knowledge and skills from a business background, not typically science.  \n\nAs to what area to major in it is really up to what interest you.  Marketing and Finance are usually some of the top departments in companies.  However, your undergrad in science allows you to do many things, such as consulting or financial analysis for a brokerage firm.

Obtaining another degree can be difficult while studying athletic training.  This is primarily due to the time commitment involved with clinical rotations.  Most individuals who have dual undergraduate degrees with athletic training generally concentrate in an area that have similar core courses --- majors like exercise physiology, physical education, or biomechanics.  \n\nTo obtain a degree in business, I would recommend going that route in graduate school.  Good luck.

There are two schools of approach for careers in geology or environmental science.  Both entail graduate school!  One is the technical root (which I took), with lots of science, including sub disciplines of geology, along with chemistry, physics, and biology.  The other is the non-technical pathway of business and sociology, which can get you nice jobs, but leaves you short when it comes time to address the sticky scientific issues (I am showing my bias here for the first root, aren't I?).  Good luck!

If anatomy and/or physiology is an available major, take that. Otherwise go with a biology major, and maybe minor in business.

If you are graduating with a degree, why do you want to be an assistant?\n\nWhat classes are you required to take?\n\nIs it hard?\n\nI'm thinking about majoring in it...

good luck with that, i am from england, i have done zoology at university, it is the most interesting subject avaliable in my opinion, but be warned in order to go anywhere in this field you have to go past BSc level and it is very competitive, life sciences as a degree without the specialisation of zoology may be a more viable option in as far as finding work after grad school. good luck though and have fun :)
