2 Year Business Degree?

Question

I am studying to get a 2 year degree in business managment. I will be graduating in august and lately have been looking around just to see what types of jobs are out there right now. Will it be possible for me to even get a good job? When I started to take the classes I thought it would be a good idea, but now I'm seeing that no one even somthing like sears or target even cares if you have a degree in business as long as it is a bachelors, which I find disgusting. I could have a degree in fashion as long as it is a bachelors and they will hire me?

Thats just sickening.

Will it be possible for me at all to find someplace beyond the taco bell?

Answer 1

Yes, you'll have plenty of options. You've found out in the real world that it's a Bachelor's degree that opens more doors than an Associate's degree... very true. However, opportunities at smaller companies will be very eager to talk with you. Sears and Target can be choosy... plenty of applicants to choose from, so they will certainly be looking more for those with Bachelor's. However, you may be able to work for firms with 100 employees or less... and if the company is growing, you will find promotions down the road if you work hard and go beyond what is expected of you. Some small firms that you might consider would include businesses in Consulting, Marketing, Manufacturer's Representative, Advertising, Sales, Printing, Technology, Manufacturing, and Financial Services. When you look at smaller firms, look beyond the salary... look at the insurance and other benefits... look at the type of business that interests you the most... and look for opportunities for advancement. Yes, I can tell you will be doing much better than Taco Bell!

Answer 2

I would hire you in the federal government. There are quite a few jobs that only require 24 credit hours in your major. For example, you can be a government accountant with 18 credit hours in accounting, 3 business law, and 3 statistics. Once you get the job, I'd encourage you to continue taking classes toward your bachelors degree so you can be more promotable. I'd even pay for some of the classes.
