Some examples lead to watching videos, having a mentor or if family member or friend or relative you can ask for advice if they have a career in the business world.
Should I switch to a business degree? Or something entirely different? I don't know what to do. Help!
Hello! Soon-to-be college freshman here. I need honest advice. Embarassingly, I am still a little bit confused on what I want to do. Recently, I was considering on changing my major to Business Administration (thankfully, the first day of classes haven't started yet, so changing majors probably won't be that much of a problem compared to the students who decide to switch majors in the middle of the year). I selected BS Psychology when I did my application to my community college. Why I am considering a business degree: - I have an entrepreneural spirit. I love making sales, crunching numbers, budgeting, being independent, marketing/creating marketing material, packing items for shipment, interacting with people, the entire process of it. I love the idea of making a living from my own hard work. - Past experiences. I was in charge of an entrepreneurship project in high school. We had to set up our own physical store, and also promote it; we sold baked goodies. I loved it! It doesn't mean much, but I got the highest mark on my report card in Entrepreneurship. I also currently have an online shop where I sell clothes and have had great success with it. I also setup garage sales by myself here and there. I am able to earn and spend my own money. - I would love to avoid working for somebody in the future (at least in the long run). I want to start my own small business/es. An online business, a café, a salon, etc. I have many ideas. I especially love the creative side of business. I also want to be a professional photographer/artist on the side. It's my true passion. However, advice on the internet all seem to suggest avoiding spending 4 years on a photography degree—just master the craft and make it your side hustle until the time & money is right. Besides, photographers don't make that much. That's what they say. So, I am thinking of freelancing as a side hustle, earning a photography certificate, and maybe start a photo studio business in the future. - I want many career options (I am okay with working in PR, HR or Marketing. Not my ideal dream, but.) - I do well under pressure - I love being a leader However, - People are telling me I can do any of the above without a business degree. Well, what do I do instead, then? - Apparently, the classes are boring? - Business majors get a bad rep. I admit that I am slightly worried about being perceived, although I know I shouldn't be. - The internet says business administration is too broad, and that I should do Finance/Marketing/MIS/Economics, etc. instead (something focused on one subject) - In general, it's "not a good major" The reason why I selected BS Psychology in the first place is because I am interested in the brain and human behavior. I was drawn to a rewarding, intriguing career. Arguably, psych is more interesting than business, but I know I wouldn't have many opportunities with a Bachelor's in Psych without getting a Master's. And I am not thinking of getting a master's, to be honest. So business seems to be more a realistic option. With this in mind, should I minor in Psychology when I transfer from community college? Is that possible? I read that a minor in Psychology can give me a leg up as a business major. Should I switch to a business degree? What do I do?

I’m in 11th grade right now but are there any classes I should take prior to college to have a better understanding of these things in college? I’m in a VHS class right now that talks about Psychology of Crime which I’m also very interested in if I just want to focus on psychology more but I’m not sure what the better path is. I also would like to know all the steps I need to take and the degrees I need, etc.

Should I attend Northeastern University or a cheaper state school?
For context, my parents are insistent that I go to Northeastern University, as they're obsessed with acceptance rates. It's 34,000 without federal loans, which is quite outrageous as we are broke. They're insistent that they are able to afford it yet even if were not, I'd rather not spend that much money on a equation when I can get an education anywhere. My parents are convinced that somehow I'll end up more successful just because I go to a school with a lower acceptance rate. We still have a mortgage and my sisters college expenses. How do I convince them that I don't want to pay 34,000 for college?
