Finance and Business are generalized business majors that prepare you for a number of career paths.  They are non-specific and therefore may SEEM to be in high demand, only because so many jobs will require that degree.\n\nIf you're looking to go into a job with high demand, you need to change up your search and look to the market for JOB growth.  Which jobs will grow the most over the next ten years?  twenty?  Then turn to what degrees are generally required for those jobs.  Finance is at the root of some, but not all.  You will find that science based majors and careers are the way to go.  Money Magazine's latest rankings for job growth are in the sources section for your reference.\n\nPersonally, if I could re-choose my career path, I'd do something with nanotechnology research, biological research, or chemical research.\n\nHope this helps.

I'm a finance major that has taken both business law and accounting courses. I would say that as a personal preference I find accounting to be very dry, and boring (but on the other hand there's not too much variation so the work task maybe easier). On the flip side, I found business law more entertaining because you never came across the exact same scenerio so you had to invent new solutions. Depends which excites you more.

Well, I have an MBA, plus a degree in info systems. I have worked as a financial analyst in telecommunications, supporting the marketers. Have also worked as a statistical/financial analyst for a bank, supporting credit card marketers.\n\nDoes the degree open up opportunities? Yes, but it really depends on what you want to do. The degree does the most for technical types who do not understand the big picture of business, because it teaches you about finance, marketing, accounting, and human resources. The more insightfull students develop an understanding of the big picture, and how these various functions (or departments) relate to each other.\n\nSo, if you want to become more of a financial/marketing analyst type of person, or want to go into management, then yes, and MBA could be a good compliment to your existing skills. Also, if you want to go into biz for yourself.\n\nBUT, if you are happy in a technical role, and/or do not have an outgoing 'people' personality, then an MBA could be a waste of time. And remember, in biz management, personality is a LOT more important than brains and education. Although brains & education certainly help, without the right personality you will not climb management ranks. Instead of plunging into an MBA prog, just take a intro finance and an intro marketing course at your local university. These courses will teach you 90% of what you need to know about biz.\n\nOne final point: the school you go to does not matter much. This is a dirty little secret that the "best" (that is, MOST EXPENSIVE) schools do not want you to know. Once you have been out for one year, nobody gives a damn what school you went to. Save your money, and go to the university that you want to.  Believe me, it really does not matter. \n\nSource(s):\n\nMe, years of biz experience as an MBA.

1. Your major should be your passion.\n2. Think about all the questions you are pondering in class in your sleep and in your conscious mind and that is your passion\n3. Think about what you talk about to your friends, parents and your teachers/professors and that is your passion.\n4. Think about what you would do if you had all the money that you could ever spend and that is associated with your passion.\n5. Now that you know what your passion you can select a major.\nG O O D  L U C K

Go back to college. Go to colleboard.com and check out the Universities in your area, there are links from collegeboard to the University websites. On the University websites you can see what majors are offered and what classes are required, you may be able to use a lot of the courses you have already taken to get your business degree like English and history.

it's my minor hehhehee\n\nyou should contact any local schools and ask them for more information, of-course they going tell great stuff :).. \nyou need to do i get a ideal of what class you will be taking for the major, so look on all the require class and such. If you think u can learn them or able to learn them then you go around and find school that meets your time and budget.\n\n if you going for a full-time student going a university is better than 2year school but 2 years offer class that works around your job so that why half time continuing eduction students takes it. \n\nwhat you have to focus is in these area:\n-Economics\n-accountant\n-Managment (usally know more of a Information technology version which means that most of the stuff will be handle in computers)\n-Database\n-A little knowledge in computer programing.\n\nMy sister is also thinking going to school and she thinking about Business Management or Management Infromation Systems

You sound a little unsure about what you want to do.  I owned my own business for 4 years before going back to school.  I think I know what you are thinking.\n\nWhy do you not want to attend a 4 year college?  \nDo you not think it will really prepare you for business?\nor Do you not want to spend the money?\nor Is it the time?\nor do you think you will have to learn a lot that "you will never need"\n\nMy guess is that it is combo of all of these.\n\nFirst off I’ll address the college question then the general entrepreneurship questions you also probably have.\n\nIf you are admitted to a university you should be able to take all the business courses they have.  However if you go to a competitive business university you may find that they will only allow business majors to take some classes.  Ask several universities you plan on checking out.\n\nA 4 year University has a different perspective on what they can teach you about business.  Most Universities hire only Ph.D.s and most REALLY successful businessmen are not Ph.D.s (Although there are many good business teachers out there).  The perspective that you will get at a university is different then you would get if you were to be mentored by a CEO of a major company.  With that said I still think the technical understanding of business is important.\n\nIf your unsure about your business abilities, start with a community college and begin your business while in school.  Depending on what business you want to start (if you have one picked out already) you should have plenty of time to both if you take only 2 or 3 classes.  I caution you to not pick any business that is too trivial or multi level marketing because this will damage your contacts.  You want to start presenting yourself as a responsible young adult because if you ever decide to sell real estate or investments or any other contract driven business then your contacts will look down on you.\n\nIf your thinking you will waste a lot of time to study things you will never use then double major in something useful like accounty,economics,marketing.business admin  Any two of those would fill yoru scheduel so full you would hardly take anythign that was not business related.  \n\nYou will find the largest benefit of your degree is to hold it up as a trophy to your clients.  You can, however, you can get by fine without a degree if you are motivated.\n\nWith that said I will definitely say that developing your own confidence and belief in yourself is far more important than the technical side of business.  A very effective way to do this is start reading good books.  Self help books may seem corny but they really can help if your not sure if you are prepared for business.  \n\nSome good reads are:\n\n“Think and Grow rich” Napoleon Hill.\n“How to win friends and influence people” Dale Carnegie.\n“Rich dad Poor dad” Robert Kiyosaki (this one is too much fluff for me but many people love it)\n“Absolute Power” Anthony Robins.\n“The Richest Man in Babylon” Og Mandino\n“Low Profile Selling — Act Like a Lamb, Sell Like a Lion book” Tom Hopkins\n\nI’m sure you will find more out there.  \n\nTry and make a schedule for reading your good books and other development strategies.

I am going for a double major in art education and physical science education at Temple University. \n\nIt will take me forever, but it is what I want. I plan on getting my masters and possibly my doctorate so I can create a unique curriculum that mixes the arts and sciences. (I'm pretty dorky for 18.)\n\nI am going in state, but I also have grants and scholarships and work study. (and a side job as a bartender helps.)

Why don't you go talk to your advisor first to make sure you don't lose any of your credits you have taken in the first two years. I imagine you have been taking core classes which would apply to most majors. Secondly, why don't you look at a double major as a possibility. You can't have too much education. Remember that the "stuff" you watch on television such as "Sex in the City" is Hollywood made up stuff. It is not all that glorified and glamourour. We do need great reporters and writers but do NOT use Sex in the City for a guideline. You would be better off talking to a real journalist as to what to expect in your newly chosen major. Good luck to you and stay in College no matter what and get some sort of degree.

If you look at my transcript, I got A's in subjects that I liked and studied for and C's in subjects I didn't care about.  But, the exception was Economics -- I studied like hell, loved the subject, and got B's.  I thought I might major in Economics because I really liked it, but ended up minoring in it and majoring in Political Science which was much more normative (and easier to get A's in).  Economics is far more intellectually challenging than most business programs yet is more marketable than any other Social Science program.  It's a good major, but yes, it is difficult.

My major was business and I work with Time Warner as a Division VP.  You can go many places with a Business degree.  In my opinion it is the most well rounded of them all!\n\nHave a great day!

Your only 15, you don't need to decide your major until your twenty.\n\nWhy do i say that?  Your first two years of school you take general education courses.\n\nI'm on my last year of business school, you generally major in what your interested in but it really doesn't matter.  Most people dint' even work in the same field.  The CEO of sprint has an engineering degree.  \n\nSo don't worry about it now, just read stuff ont he internet and get into school.

If you don't have a clue which one you want to go, you are not ready to go to a business college. \n\n1. figure out what you want to get out of it. \n2. research what's on offer on the websites. Research info about the colleges. Do it yourself, don't get anybody else to give you a digest. \n3. If you live there or close enough to visit, do so. Talk to students, see how the atmosphere at the place is. Try if you can talk to an advisor there. \n4. great college and easy to get into is pretty much mutual exclusive. If it's truly great everybody will want to go there so it will become difficult to get in.
