The market will always have a place for good people. Live by the theory of creating your own economy and don't get caught up in what the media says the trend for the currect "market" is. With brains and perserverance you can make yourself succeed.

Your experience will make you a excellent candidate for a marketing position. Marketing is directly related to sales and customer service because marketing is the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion and distribution of ideas, goods, and services to create exchanges that satisfy individual and organizational objectives.  As a sales person, you have found out what a customer wants in a product and how much they are willing to pay, and as a customer service person, have learned how to work with customers to create a positive buying experience...or to rectify a bad one.

Depends on what type of work you get and where. Salaries are regional.  Check round Monster and www.salary.com and see.  Living in CT or Metro NY area I would expect a business degree from a reputable college and a person that is presentable and speaks well to get 35-40K. If your major is finance or accounting, it could go hirer.  All depends how you sell yourself.

Here's what you can do. Start your degree in business management. The business management degree will cover all of the topics you mention including some others. All of the specialized programs are virtually the same with the exeption of a few courses. For instance, the only difference between a degree in marketing and a degree in business is 4 courses. The same with business and finance. So you could consider getting a dual degree in business and also finance, or marketing and business. You could then continue your education to get your Masters degree in the area of study you like. For instance, you can get a Masters in Finance, or Master in Marketing or Business.

I would recommend getting your undergraduate degree in any field that interests you and that you will want to work in the industry of (ex. Public Relations, Marketing, Accounting), and a masters in Business Administration or Management.\n\nThat way, you can end up managing a company that deals with something you are educated about and enjoy (such as managing a marketing firm.)

First, you should talk to an advisor at your university. This is advice from my advisor and personal research. If you're talking about being an International Trade Specialist or International Marketing Specialist go for Business Adm. (Marketing or anything else should work) and a MBA in International Business. American Intercontinental Univerisity offers International Business as in the undergraduate program. If you're thinking about government employment in Foreign Policies, try Business, or whatever major Pre-Law students are in. Also try www.usajobs.opm.gov to see what education is required for certain positions. I just changed my major to Bus. Adm.- Marketing to be an International Trade Specialist for a mojor corporation like Sony!!

It depends on what you want to do Business Admin is more versatile. With sales and marketing you could end up doing door to door sales.  My degree is in Business Admin with a concentration.  See if picking a concentration is an option for you.

Here is some info\n\nhttp://www.collegegrad.com/careers/manag03.shtml\n\n\nAs far as colleges go, just about an university will be good. It's a pretty basic degree that you need to get that can get you a job in advertising, marketing and P.R. so any college will offer the classes you need. But read that website scroll down to the "Training, Other Qualifications,\nand Advancement" headline for job specific degrees!! :)

It's the same thing.  You're studying business theory either way.  Business is a broad topic and tends to be broken down into further areas of concentration or majors...such as Finance, Accounting, Economics, Marketing, Strategy, Operations, etc.\n\nFor example, I have an MBA (Masters in Business Administration) but chose Marketing and Strategy as my areas of focus.

Simple answer would be that Marketing (the study and analysis of the product or service a company provides, its brand positioning, pricing, promotion to potential buyers, and the development of strategies to manage all these areas) is an essential part of a business plan and in the real world business grads are expected to be able to help in this area.

Business administration is probably the major with the most career opportunities out there! You can work in sales, advertising, marketing, accounting... If you want to work in finance, you probably can work in a bank or as a finance consultant (later)...everything is business and someone with good credentials and a master's degree can make a good living.  As you're a junior now, I don't know if you'll have enough time to take all the required classes to complete your degree. You'll probably going to have to graduate a little later.\nGood luck!

Well, just because it's easy to find a job with a major does not mean it's the best major for you.  You don't want to study something and work in that field for rest of your life if you don't like the subject in the first place.  But as far as job availability and salary goes engineering, business and nursing are the top there.

Market analyst comes to mind.  Every company has an entire marketing / business development division dedicated to this stuff.  They're the ones who figure out where best to put money to grow the business.\n\nNot sure what the education path is for the job -- probably an MBA helps, and a business background.  And you have to get some job experience somewhere.

If you had summer jobs in the past, pick one that you enjoyed the most and select a major that relates to that job. Try majoring in Business Administration. It covers all sorts of aspects of business and can be used to obtain any job in the business field. Also, I would recommend if you have any job or career that you fantasize about, go for it! Now is the time.
