I really don't know what the hell I want to major in right now at all. At first I wanted to major in business and maybe do something at a corporation or something after I graduate. It sounds all great in my head but when I told my family they all disagreed. They all said that business majors are going to have a hard time looking for jobs after graduation so I'm wondering is this true? I mean if it's such a hard finding job why's there a lot of ppl majoring in this? GOsh i'm so confused ...

[love]

i want to major in business as well (it seems like it's the ONLY major i'm interested in). my parents weren't too happy about it (typical asian parents want me to go to the medical field) and my uncle told me it is a very competitive major. my friends also told me it is a useless major.. so now i dont know either :X

how funny.. i wanted to major in journalism.. and my parents told me THAT major was really hard to find a job in... and they WANT me to major in business.... i think theyre kinda right.. journalism is a toughie... so im considering going into business =]

and from what i can gather, majoring in business is a good idea =] many people i know found very good jobs majoring in business~

Are you serious?
Business is the easiest degree to find a job and for easy money.
If you the Accounting major, you have no problems getting a job when you graduate, because there so high in demand aorund the world these days.
What business major were you thinking of doing anyways?
That's weird... i always thought asian parents encouraged their kid to do enter some field that involves business

haha not even ! not my parents lol they want me to be a pharmacist ...*sigH* but I don't plan on going into accounting. My sister's in that and she says it's a low paying job and she doesn't liike it and 4rm what i see i don't really like it that much either. I really don't know what business major i should go into but i know i want to become a general manager for a hotel some day haha

Personally I don't believe undergrad in business will really get you much. For business majors, the MBA is the key.

[Babigrl]

so that'd be a few years in grad school also?

[sungaaah]

FLIPPED cuz they knew i was going into college
wanting to be a pharmacist ... i think as long as i get my mba
and start interning early, it wont be hard to get
recommendations and find a place where id like to work at ^^

Actually, after getting an undergrad business degree, there will be plenty of job offers. If you get an MBA directly after your undergrad education, it'll be harder to get a job. Sure, you have an MBA, but do you have experience? That's really the key to getting a job in the business field.

You can't get into a decent MBA program without substantial work experience. It's really not essential that you have one.

business is the broadest thing if u dunno wat u like...ain't it?

That's true... well in my case it is. You don't have to be a genius to do business, anyone can basically do a business degree.

i chose business coz i didn't know what to do... but specialising one of them is different.... make urself a notch higher than most business student by specialising in something... i chose supplychain.

Supply chain? Don't you just mean majors.. what is supply chain part of?

[retrothesis]

supply chain is logistics... n within logistic there are a wide broad range of things u can specialised in.... for xample.... purchasing.... working in liner, airlines....

I agree

Some of the replys on here were pretty funny.
You can find a place to work pretty easily with an accounting degree.

If you think starting at 50k is a low paying job, then kudos.
I think starting at 50K and making 75K within 3-4 years is pretty decent.

Before money, I think the most important thing is to find out what you like doing, then making sure you're compentent enough to do it. Just because your parents want you to become a pharmacist doesn't mean you should do it right?

holy hell.... i WAS a business major.. until after a few semesters didnt do too well in any of my business classes... i pretty much failed business calc, accounting classes, and micro and macro econ... lol.

what i learned is that it doesnt really matter what u major in... as long as u have a degree, it'll take u places. however, yes it would be good to learn business stuff in business classes, but u can also learn it first hand.. im already learning business stuff from the law office i work at

[delightful123]

soo.. can someone elaborate for me what going into business really is??? i mean.. i know there are lots of different fields... but i'm kinda lost as to what you exactly do.

[Babigrl]

me too lol it's so confusing i mean a lot of replies were accounting is the easiest to find job for business, but i'm not really into accounting. I don't know what I want yet but i know i don't want accounting?haha
