Work for Microsoft. Apparently they'll not only let absolutely anybody work there regardless of skill level or experience but they'll even give you a wack at writing some faulty code. Microsoft is cool that way.

You have two options that I can see.\n\nYou can pick up a bachelors degree in business in management or a related field and then use that to get you some interviews for entry level positions.\n\n-OR-\n\nJump right into the job market and excel.  Many of the business managers I’ve spoken too actually started in sales and were promoted into managerial positions after proving themselves. That being said many of them advised me to stick it out in school because it makes everything easier for you down the road.\n\nRegards,\nArmus

To start with, an interview. . . you will need a degree of some kind for most jobs, and business touches every field (even a painter or a poet needs to understand money and accounting if they want a successful business, and non-profits still need proper administration to stay "in business").\n\nDepending on your experiences, it could open the doors to many jobs, and would also help you if you start your own business. Just make sure to do an internship/co-op or volunteer in an area you enjoy, so that you can set yourself apart from the generic business major.  Adding a major or minor in an unrelated field, especially a language, might also be a great way to "diversify your portfolio".

i believe colleges offer a BBA- bachelor in business Administration-they did in 1968 when i went to college- don't know about today- my suggestion would be - take accounting- the best business background you can have-because it gives you a complete understanding of business, and how businesses run, and how we keep track of the results-- other possibilities are economics, marketing, advertising, etc. a bba-used to give you a bit of everything in business, yet a lot of nothing-no real major that is-- check with some business schools and see what they have to offer, and what their suggestions might be- also talk to some people in mgmt. and see what they suggest worked for them, or what they would do, if they could do it over again--changes ?? see if you can get a mgmt mentor who is success full to guide you..that would be great-- i am a retired Independent Insurance Broker for life & health insurance, and also a retired  CPA, CFP, & LUTCF..if i can be of further help to you--holler back at me--good luck to you...

Go to the SBA for some small business consulting.  The great people there will step you through your needs, but it will take some perseverence.

Perhaps you're not looking in the right places. If you don't have any experience you might not be picked up by the big places right away, but you can definitely find a job. There are usually marketing jobs out there and well paid ones at that.

You can select the different types of jobs similar to the different departments in the hotel like customer service, event planning, food & beverage jobs which would come easily for you. While others like accounting and sales would still require you to have a background in that field.\n\nYou could also switch to the travel industry and be a travel agent, be part of the airline industry be it the cabin or ground crew.\n\nThere are many opportunities with that course and it's still up to you to decide what you like best and stick to that one department or go all out and aim high by taking up the post of Management In Training in a hotel.

Work your tail off. Do the stuff that others won't do cause they are "too good for that". Take calculated risks and gambles. Develop a passion about something and know it inside and out. Make yourself the expert in an area. Never hesitate to help someone else and make sure everyone you know knows exactly what your business is so that they might either use you or recommend someone to use you. Think outside the box. Travel and get out of your usual environment to give yourself better perspective. Eat drink and sleep whatever the passion is...

Find another job that interest you.  I have a marketing degree and when I graduated in the late 80's there were no jobs.  So, I went in the non-profit, social services area.  There are a lot of people that have jobs that have nothing to do with their degrees.  Just find a job that you like with advancement opportunities.  I use my degree now, for my business and for various volunteer activities that I take part in...Good luck!

You'll get more out of your business education if you run that small business first. The everyday experiences in business will give you lots of context when you go back to school. It doesn't work as well the other way around.\n\nWhen people with no business experience go to business school they often have no real world understanding of what they're learning - it's all theoretical. Then when that person tries to run a business based on theory, they're just as likely to fail because that's not how small business works.\n\nSmall businesses work primarily for two reasons:\n- long hours of dedication to the business\n- getting the right kind of expert help where you don't have the knowledge (accounting/bookkeeping, or marketing, or sales, etc.)\n\nYou don't get either of those things by getting a business degree. Business school will make you a specialist in business theory, not in the day-to-day reality of one individual business in a specific industry within a specific town/state/region. For that, you need the real life experience and you can read the books on the subjects you need to learn, like marketing, or you can hire someone to help you with those things.\n\nIf you find you don't do well running a business (and/or don't like it enough to keep going), then you'll know that you want your degree program to focus either on some other aspect of business (because you like accounting, for instance) or to go in some other direction altogether.\n\nBusiness school is not a magic way to succeed in business - many of the most successful and famous CEOs do not have business degrees, including Bill Gates. When you have real world experience running a business, that speaks volumes to potential employers. You can always take night classes to supplement, then complete your degree later.

Even with a concentration in marketing, the number of jobs you would be qualified for are too numerous to list here.  Anything related to services, like insurance, financial planning, banking, are available.  If you can intern with a couple of firms during your summers, you can get great experience and learn what fields you like and which ones you don't.
