What made you want to choose Business in College - if you went?

Hey everyone!

I am going to school in the fall - soon - for Business!

I’m very excited, and nervous!!

I’m sure my headline / title gave away the question I am asking to the viewer reading this ... but what made you want to choose Business?

For me personally, I feel like it’s always something good to know. I want to be able to manage people, help accommodate their needs , make new connections, and just because Business interests me.

** Have any advice / questions for me? Feel free to leave it, down below !

Have an amazing night,

Take care.

Looking forward to your comments.

I was originally an Engineering major. At a certain point along the way I realized it wasn't for me. I ended up in business because I felt it was broad enough that I could end up doing anything. I also wasn't entirely sure what I wanted to do. I ended up with a Business Administration degree with a focus in Information Systems because I enjoy working with data. I am now a Process Analyst for a major company and I'm currently trying to transition into being a Data Analyst. For me, the biggest advantage to a business degree is the flexibility it afforded me to try out different jobs and see what I liked. One thing I would consider a downside with it is that it took me a LONG time to find a job after graduating. That could be because business degrees might not be as valued as other degrees, but that is just my speculation. I would suggest thinking about what you really enjoy about business and go for that. You can get a International, Management, information systems, Finance, and business degrees. Good luck to you and I hope you find what you are looking for.

Sorry for such a late response! That’s really interesting, and thanks for your comment! What did you like the least while in school?

I want to do Social Media , but just chose the generalized program to not direct myself in 1 path.. so I can choose the sector I want to go into after the year, if that makes sense?! Haha!

Thanks again, and for the luck - its much appreciated! Glad it all worked out for you!

Take care!

No worries. I get not wanting to go down one path. To answer your question, I would say the thing I liked the least was all the group work. I've always liked being responsible for my own work and knowing my grade or success is mine to mess up. But in college and in the corporate world as I'm sure you will find out, group work is almost impossible to avoid. It also didn't help that I was not the traditional college kid. I went to college after leaving the Marine Corps.

Curious, do you think it is a smart idea?

As do I, I like my individual work, but don’t mind group work...just depends on the group, lol! Thanks for sharing!

I see. Thank you for your service!

Have a nice Labour Day!
