International business degrees who need varying degrees of knowledge in foreign languages and cultures. These professionals generally specialize in specific areas of business such as technology, management, banking, law, media, or education. They work primarily on a contract basis, since most businesses or individuals will only require their services for a learning period. Cultural advisers can also assist in market research for companies wishing to expand their market overseas, and in foreign career placement. A BA is the minimum requirement, with a master's as a better bet for career advancement--and of course you will need to be fluent in the language and culture you will be advising on.

There are so many options! I'll split my answer into two parts:
1. How competitive is business?
In my humble opinion, I don't think business careers are any more competitive in general than any other major field of careers. An economist who tracks the supply and demand of jobs would be in a better position to state what is a more-competitive or less-competitive career. However, within business, there are certainly some careers which are more competitive than others. One good example is that finance
2. What are the options available to business majors after graduation?
I went to an undergraduate business school (NYU Stern), so I can only speak for my experience from that one school. What I thought I would want to share with you is the distribution of the sectors my fellow NYU Stern classmates have been working in since they graduated from college. This image is from my LinkedIn profile page:

Clearly there is a LOT of range in these careers. The focus on finance at the top is really a reflection of the specialty of NYU Stern and the fact that it is located in New York (which is a financial center). The distribution would likely change in another school.
I hope that's helpful! Looking forward to your next question

International Business degrees enable you to get jobs in Product management field for expanding a business for a company into different countries and languages. A company that is expanding internationally can use your expertise to dive deeper into understanding different cultures and patters of specific countries and enable their business internationally.

Examples: do you prefer Consumer and Retail? or Big Industrials? Or Environment or Science or Healthcare or ??? there's no end of possibilities!
It's general enough for you to pick a sub-specialty too: perhaps you prefer Marketing, or Business Analytics, or Portfolio Strategy, or Accounting/Finance....you will find the pieces that "speak to you" and then you find the Industry Sector that also matches your needs.
Remember: you don't have to know all the answers to these questions. Sometimes you'll need to "dabble" to see if it's the right fit for you. Exploration is a good thing! Internships, summer placements, foreign exchange programs...whichever opportunity opens to you, TRY IT. You just never know what you'll end up truly loving or hating until you actually try. GOOD LUCK!
