Answer 1

A business degree is generally one of the following:

Accounting
Finance
Marketing
Supply Chain Management
Human Resources/Management
General Business Administration
Entrepreneurship

What can it do for you? Tough to say. It's your best chance at getting an entry-level job with any variety of companies, usually in the area of your specialization.

Answer 2

"Business Degree" is a bit of a generalization, like saying "Engineering Degree". Under the umbrella of business there are a large number or different specializations including (but certainly not limited too) business administration, accounting, marketing, economics (considered a social science at some schools), operations, finance, organizational behavior (business pyschology), etc. Programs will vary significantly by school, for example Case Western Reserve University offers programs in Management, Accounting and Economics, however, Management majors may select focus areas such as finance or organization behavior.

As for what it can do for you...that really depends on what you want to do. I know people with "Business Degrees" who made $80,000 (midwest dollars) right out of college and I know people who made $30,000.
