Learn how to talk so that it sounds like you know something, but don't worry about actually knowing it well.  Also, focus on networking and go to every career fair dressed up well and smiling.  And pracitice the talking ability that I alluded to in the first line.\n\nAs far as the actual classes.  Do enough to ride the curve.  For finance and stats, just practice the problems, for managment and marketing, read the words in bold.

Look for something in th field you are going to college for since you probably have some knowledge about it already and talk to employers in that field. This may mean taking night classes to finish.\nYou must finish college to land a GOOD job.\nSee if the campus has any part time openings.\nYou may want to learn bar tending at night and finish your classes. A bar tending course is usually about a few weeks long. Potential for good money.

My mother gave me the best advice before I went to college. "Study what interests you and your career will become evident from that." So that being said, would you be interested in business? Do you know what that means? Or does the corporate culture freak you out and the academic side of things feel more natural? Not sure how the requirements work in your school, but it would seem that you could be "en route" to all of the above for the next year or two without cutting any options out. Why not throw a business course or two into next year's choices? That's the best way to try it out. Or/and plan to do an internship next summer that might give you some idea of what it's like to do one of the fields you think is your interest.

There are any number of online sources to help you with this. My personal favorite is: http://www.collegedata.com/\n\nAnother good source is your high school guidance counselor.\n\nYou certainly seem to have the requisite maturity to do well in college. 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.

Many of the best MBA programs place a great deal of emphasis on work experience.  Typically, MBA students have all had 2 or 3 years of good work experience before applying to school.\n\nThen, of course, good GMAT scores, good undergraduate grades, and a good personality are also important.\n\nBest of luck to you.

Those are pretty good scores.  You should be able to get into the majority of business programs with those scores.\n\nIf you are looking at private schools, you also need to make sure that you have strong entrance essays and activities. \n\nIf I were you, I would not only concentrate on just getting into a good school.  I would also start applying to as many scholarships as possible.  It is a great way to fund your education.

I can speak from experience from a California State University.\n\nThere is no specific requirement to to attend business school.  The college of business is one of many colleges (eg. mathematics, arts, computer science, et cetra) under the university.  Once you are accepted into a university you may either declare your major at that time or remain undeclared until you decide what you are interested in.\n\nIf you decide to enroll in a Jr. college before a 4-year university, simply transfer in your credits.  If you start out at a 4-year university, you will be require to take general education courses.  This will usually be about 16 classes/2 years which may require passing all classes with at least a "C", in some cases a "D" will suffice.\n\nNote that unless there are prerequisites (eg. upper division classes, concentration courses) you make take G.E. and business classes at the same time.  For business classes you will also need to pass classes with a "C" (a "C" minus will not work)  A 2.0 g.p.a. is considered minimum before probation--which is likely to be similar to high school.  This may entail being prevented from playing sports, and required to take fewer classes during semesters/quarters.\n\nSince you are interested in opening your own business, look into the entrepreneurship concentration (if offered).  If it is not, I would recommend management as that is the basis of running a business.  The business college alone may have numerous other concentrations including: accounting, finance, information systems, and the two mentioned above.

Get good grades in high school and college.  Do well on the LSAT.  Be involved in college in more than just classes.  BE GOOD in college.  Know that when you go to take your Bar Exam, you actually have to find "character witnesses" (and yes, that is plural) who do not share your last name, that will vouch for your good character.  Realize that the profession you are going into has higher standards for you than most people do!

It must be very good. Mainly if you are in administration college. After all, why are you in college? Isnt it to own money? So, why not start it right now? \n\nThe only problem is that to start a business, you need money... thing that you usually dont have on college

first thing is that you should develop interest in what you are studying. If we like what we are doing, we naturally tend to do it with concentration.\n\nOrganise your time well. Keep some time for play, TV, internet. Carefully divide your day into air-tight compartments. Dont think of other things when you are doing something.\n\nChoose a good (studious) friend circle. You will be inspired to study well when everyone around you studies well.\n\nAnd finally have a long term goal and always keep that in your mind. That will drive you to study well. \n\nYou can also try meditation techniques

Stick to education and get your degree.  Once you have your BA you can always go for a Master's in Business if you really want it.  If you are planning to start your own company, and it is related to the educational field then your degree will help. If you need to get a job and work for someone else for a while before you start your business, there are lots of jobs that are educationally related.\n\nIf you just want to keep going to school for a while, sure, switch it out and minor in education.  But whatever you choose to do, get your piece of paper.  Once you get out into the world, unless you are looking at technical jobs, you'll be surprised by how much the piece of paper means, but not what is on it.

I have a BBA (Bachelor's of Business Administration) in Marketing. I am going back to get my MBA starting this fall.\n\nAs far as the classes go.  I found them to be very easy and I loved them.  However, it depends on the college and the professors.  The reading isn't bad, but you are expected to do a lot of reading in college.  That's college!  You will probably end up in some sort of sales position at some time.  But if you are determined, depending on the industry, you shouldn't have a problem.  Advertising, from what I understand, can be hard work but pay off in the end.\n\nIf you like working with a team and like being around people I think this major is the one for you.  But beware!  I've found that many of the marketing jobs that are open are entry level for those just getting out of college.  You have to work your way up through a company to get your dream job in marketing.  If you want to start higher up then I wouldn't recommend marketing as a profession because many jobs expect you to have experience to get the job.  But as many college students know, it's a double-edged sword.  You can't get the experience without a degree.  But to get a good job you must first have the degree.  Unless you do an internship while getting a degree it's hard to get the experience.  That's the way it is with many jobs.\n\nGood Luck!
