Business Degree???

Question

Ok so I want to do something with business, I have been looking into Healthcare Administration, Business Management and etc. I have no idea what I want to do or what the jobs consist of with different business degrees. I am starting right now at a community college and am having a hard time figuring out what to even take! I could use anyones personal advice on what kind of degree to get ( am wanting to get bachl. degree eventually) within the business or finance etc. range. Please tell me what the job consists of, what classes to take or to get an associates now or what to do. Please if you know include hours and salary too. Thanks so much!

Answer 1

Three things to consider. First, you're just starting out at a community college. Second, you want to go on for bachelors degree (hopefully, you might want to go for more someday). Third, you're undecided.

With that as your baseline, I think that the best thing that you can do is to take core classes which will be transferable towards a two-year general business AA degree. You can figure out what you want to specialize in when you go for your 4-year degree. If you explain your situation to a counselor, they can help you to pick the classes which will meet the requirements for an AA in general business and will most likely transfer to a four-year program. My guess is that these classes will include English, writing for business, maybe a foreign language, micro- and macro-economics, statistics, general business, business information systems, global business, management accounting and/or financial accounting, and a few electives like humanities/fine-art, philosophy, and psychology.

Find out from your counselor if your community college has an associate transfer program (ATP). These are designed to be 100% transferable towards 4-year degrees, whereas AAS or other AA degrees or certificates may not be designed for transferability.

Regarding where the jobs are, i'm not an expert. I know that technology management, healthcare administration, e-commerce, accounting, and finance are all good fields and probably will remain so. I would get going on your core requirements for a two-year degree and you can learn more from your teachers and classmates about where the jobs are.
Good luck.

Answer 2

There are at least dozens of possibilities, each with its own hours and salary, so this isn't something anyone can really do in this space. If you are just starting at a community college, you should meet with an advisor to make sure that the classes you take are the ones you need to transfer to a 4-year college eventually. You probably won't be taking any business classes at all at first, focusing on general education courses you would need to transfer. Over the next few years, there will be many opportunities to be exposed to the various types of career out there.

Answer 3

Is your HR focus an actual concentration in the field, i.e. an official program at your college? If so, it will state on your degree and transcript that you have a business degree in HR. In this case, you are fine as long as HR employment is what you are after. HR is not the best paying business field but companies need HR people all the time, regardless of the state of the economy. It's leaps and bounds better than marketing, or management, for example.

Answer 4

Ok you have several options, you can do what i did and go with accounting. That is if you are good at math and english, the course load is something like this math which is ( statistics, differential and integral methods), economics, accounting, finance and electives. Not too hard but at the same time its not a piece of cake you have to put effort into it. Also accountants work dreadful hours BUT the pay is excellent avg $50, 000 US starting.. Soo its an excellent field with lots of potential if you are up to the task and on your toes at alll times !!! GOOD LUCK !
