What is a good degree to do?

Question

Something that will help you get work in the "real world". Is Business or marketing a good one to do? Help please.

Answer 1

A business administration degree is very useful. You can take business and it offers more options for you in employment. However, you can always specialize in marketing if the university you want to go to has a program. I really think both are very useful

Upon graduation you will be well prepared to begin working as a business professional at the entry level or to begin an entrepreneurial venture.

A co-operative education option will provide you with hands-on work experience in a high-tech company, government or other organization. And the benefit of this is you can make good connections to get a job after graduation.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Business if you're entrepreneurial, marketing if you're creative. Make SURE that you talk to a few employers out there before you graduate, or at least look at the want-ads for qualifications they are seeking to insure you'll have the skills necessary to land the job. You may be creative or entrepreneurial as all get out, but if you don't have specific marketable skills that you can demonstrate, you will wait a long time to find a job. If I had it to do over again, I would take a coding class (CPT or similar) or two, or I would go into forensics.

You need to get specific- general knowlege is helpful but doesn't actually pay the bills when you're out in the real world. Learn what software is currently being used in the field and learn how to use it. Learn what systems are currently being used and learn on them. Learn where the trend is headed and teach yourself as much as you can before you graduate. Get an internship, if you can find one. Some colleges offer class credit for those, so you are helping your employer and yourself at the same time.

Answer 3

Definetely begin by desiding what areas interest you. Is it health care that interests you? Is it the buisness world? etc. Realy focus on this. Once you decide on the area, you can look hard at the many different offerings in that area. You will eventually narrow it down to what is right for you. Money shouldn't be your main reason for choosing a field. It should be your interests, your skills etc. You may not want to enroll in a university, and may choose a community or tech college. You can take certain courses to get certified, or you can get an associates degree. I am currently in a two year RN program at a tech college. It is very affordable. To become a nurse here, it only costs $6,000 and you pay as you go. You can also get financial aid for whatever area you want. Best of luck to you.

Answer 4

choosing your degree all depends on the job opportunities that are available in the area that you are from and the fields that are in demand as well.

business and marketing are always in demand so you can always look into those, there is also computer and tourism if you want to give that a try.

something that will help you decide what you want to do is very much your age and your interest cause if youre not interested in the field, you may not very well want to invest money and time earning a degree in it and then get a job that you loathe- however, if youre still young, you have time to experiment with your interests untill you find something that you want to do.
i hope i've been of some help, good luck

Answer 5

What is your passion? I would make your passion your major. If you only select a college/career path based on the money, you will realize that 40 +years is a long time.

I would supplement that with a Business type minor. That way, once/if you decide to go into management for that passion, you'll have a leg up. You might even need an MBA but a minor is a good start.

Answer 6

Try accounting or business. you could also go for computers.
A+ cert. is a good place to start

Answer 7

definitely. double majoring is the best bet....like something you like to do (maybe art)...and marketing which will let you make mucho $$.
