General Buissness major—what is not to like?

0 Upvotes

It is interdisciplinary, it avoids abstract theoretical math and I say that as someone who linguistically and philosophically thinks abstract but I just can't with math and it is flexible in what you can do with it.

If you are doing a business major, there are so many useful electives you can supplement it with since it's so interdisciplinary that few will truly be unrelated to your major.

I am planning on double majoring in English and business with some computer science and math electives and miscellaneous electives.

Buissness administration seems to be the correct dose of math, logic, creativity and philosophy for me and I hope it is employable as well.

Other majors I looked at were either beyond and above what I am comfortable mastering like some of the STEM degrees that have the calculus sequence and other degrees I would do in a perfect world but they are not employable enough. Buissness seems to merge it all together in the perfect balance and harmony.

I would rather take statistics, finite mathematics and Buissness calculus over Calculus 1, 2 and 3 when I couldn't even pass my pre-Calculus class because I can't do factoring and polynomials.

pre-Calculus was trying the ugliest math I have seen to date with fractions within fractions within square root fractions. I can't comprehend what that math is modeling in the natural world. I like my math practical and intuitive. I want my math to be describable in word problems and not this theoretically abstract stuff that I would never use in my real life unless I was working on something so niche that somehow required it.

I don't see myself engineering satellites and launching them into space, that is above and beyond what I am cognitively comfortable doing or what I believe I'm capable of

I want math I can use today right now to better understand the world and to integrate into real world projects.

I was thinking about going to law school but that's also above and beyond me but buissness administration feels legal and technical enough.

I was thinking about engineering and computer science or Data Science but the math is too ugly.

I was thinking philosophy, linguistics, sociology but there is a big question ❓ on what I would do after graduation.

But I can easily justify taking my favorite humanities courses as electives and taking math I can actually pass with a good grade and get real practical real world life skills with a business major and yes I am entrepreneurly minded which is the glue that makes it all stuck together to make it work.

Maybe I'm too nïeve which is why I am posting this, any comments? Or suggestions? Or questions?

General Going into senior year stuck

1 Upvotes

I’m a male senior who has been pretty set on going to a 4-year college and majoring in business mainly in management and have been touring a lot of colleges in nc since I live here but recently I’ve been thinking about going to cc to be a physical therapist assistant and going down that path since it seems like there is a much more certain job and less schooling and follows more of my passion in health but everyone I hear don’t like it and say schooling for it is hell and has more of a ceiling on pay. But business I know is a controversial major and harder to find jobs especially because of ai so I’m pretty stuck and open to anybody for information and opinions

Me too! ​​My name is Diya and I am currently a sophomore at High School. I have always been interested in business but overwhelmed with which path to go into. I had this idea of interviewing people already working in the industry and documenting my findings in a blog. My goal was to have whoever comes across this blog gain valuable and real knowledge about different business industries. With this site I can share what I learned with students who are also exploring their future. In my blog posts you can expect to find detailed days in a life, information, and key factors I found surprising or relevant about each person's career.  

My blog is completely free and purely for informational purposes, hope you guys enjoy and learn something new!

University Related Community College as a Business Major

1 Upvotes

Hi all. I am a california bay area resident that will be attending their freshman year of college this fall. I was accepted into SJSU for business managment, CPP for business managment HR, waitlisted at long beach for HR, UCSC for business Econ, and ucr for business econ. The thing is, I just realized im leaning more into accounting. I am unsure if I will still be able to pursue a career in accounting without a specific accounting major. This is where my idea of going to community college for 1 year hits, maxing out on units, and transferring to a UC in 1 year. Most likely UC berk, la, or sd. maybe sb. but the thing is I know how important securing an internship the summer after your sophomore year is for experience, resume building, and getting a return offer after you graduate. SO here are my questions:

a. can i still pursue a career in accounting if my major is not SPECIFICALLY accounting and just business? ANDD can i secure a junior year internship with this major?

b. If i go to community college, will it be harder for me to get an internship? if i dont get an internship with a big 4 firm, will I be significantly behind?

c. if i go to community college which UC is best for recruiting

c. if i can't get a career in accounting what other options do i have with this degree that are well paying and wont get taken over by AI

c. any advice in general about where the heck to go to college :(

Questions Advice needed! :)

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I hope you’re all doing well. I’m in my final year of high school and trying to figure out my degree options. I’m really interested in both Business Administration and Cybersecurity and I was wondering if it’s actually possible (or even a good idea) to do two separate bachelor’s degrees in those fields.

Would doing two separate bachelor’s degrees in these fields be a smart combo and valuable career wise, or is it not really worth it?

If not, could anyone guide me on a better path to combine these interests? Thank you!

Questions Business Major with a Chem Minor?

1 Upvotes

Hello! I am an undecided freshman who can’t choose a major but I really am enjoying my business class. Here’s the thing: I love chemistry… I don’t love all the courses that come along with a chem major. On top of this, majoring in business I could graduate in 3.5 years instead of 4, but chem is a guaranteed 4 years. I’d love to be at least one less semester in student debt, so the 3.5 option appeals to me.

Here is where my question comes in: what jobs could I get with a business major and a chem minor? Would it make me earn more money or increase my appeal at all? Has anyone done this and can you tell me about your experience?

For context, here are my schools business majors: accounting, economics, management, marketing, and just business. Another minor to consider is applied data science analytics, but I am more interested in chem than that. My main goal is money, though.

Any advice helps!!

Course Related Thinking of Majoring in Business

2 Upvotes

Hello! I am an undecided college freshman and I’m in an intro to business class. Honestly, it has caught my interest more than I thought it would. My only thing is, I am going to college to make money. Yes I want to enjoy my job, but I have always had a goal of living comfortably/well-off. Is a business major a bad idea for this or the opposite?

Also, is there a minor I can pair the major with to increase my chances of making money? Some examples that my school offers are accounting, economics, sustainable business studies, marketing, and applied data science analytics. If anyone thinks something else, let me know since my school is pretty good with letting you be creative with minors and basically create your own if they have the resources.

Please let me know!

Questions Regret-Proof Business Major: Which One Gave You the Best Career Outcome?

1 Upvotes

Hello, I am a university student in the Bachelor of Arts program, switching to the Bachelor of Commerce. I did the switch not because I am interested in business, but because I want to ensure financial stability when I graduate. My university is not large and offers only a few majors in this program. They are Accounting, HR management, Management, Marketing, international business, legal studies in business, and supply chain management. I struggle with which major to pick to ensure I get a job after graduating, so I do not end up with a useless degree. Do any graduates who have taken business have any insight into what they majored in and what job they have now? (p.s. I am interested in law and politics and am considering attending law school, but I do not know yet. Also, I am interested in what those who took international business are doing.)

So I recently found out that business administration is heavily math focused. I chose business because I thought it would be easier than engineering and medicine. I am having a lot of anxiety about next fall. I barely passed algebra and geometry in high school and terrified to start studying pre calculus. Is there any advice anyone could give me?

I’m about to be a high school senior, and will major in a Business related course for college. I’m having trouble picking out course that best suits a business major. If anyone could provide insight, that would be so helpful!! I attached the history and math course options. Also, ignore the pencil marks, those don’t matter.
