Great question, and great responses as well!
I'd like to add another route that can be helpful to you while you gain your experience and learn about your fields of interest. While reflecting on your path, it's also a good time to consider your own personal strengths and characteristics. What abilities you bring to the table and what you naturally excel at and areas of improvement. I have personally always found it useful to partake in skills and personality testing as it relates to the workplace. Some examples are;
Myers-Briggs
Career Assessments
Business Chemistry
Insights Discovery - Colour Energies
I hope you find this helpful.

Hi Mridul! This is a very versatile degree and you can look into the following career options:
- Marketing
- Finance
- HR
- Operations
- Supply chain management
- Business development
- Sales
- Project management
- Business analyst
I would highly encourage you to gain some volunteer/ part-time experience if you don't have any from your school/ university before looking for a full-time job so that you have an idea of what you like. You can also apply for internships in these roles. Good luck!

The other answers here are helpful guidance to follow. I would add that letting people know you’re open to work or volunteer is important. Let your friends know, and their friends and their parents. So many jobs are attained through connections. Make as many as you can by volunteering or joining a sports team or a group hobby.
Your degree leaves you open to so many different job types, which is great! One suggestion is to apply for entry level jobs in warehousing or transportation. If you’re open to physical work, it can be a start to an incredible career path in supply chain.

Hi Mridul,
I am a management college professor (retired for now) and I always tell my students that any kind of experience is good for you on your resume. A college degree might get you a starting job but if you have work experience and play up your skills, it is possible that you will have a better chance at landing a starting opportunity. Meeting people, volunteering, talking to your teachers are all additional things that you can do to sell yourself to a potential employer. I hope this helps and I wish you the best in all future endeavors.

Hello! I have a Bachelor's Degree in Management and I am so glad that I did not get a very specific degree. The body of work that I learned in school helped me in so many ways to be a better business leader. I actually have specialized in Human Resources for 20+ years after getting my degree and although 'people' are our main focus; there are so many facets of business integrated where I have drawn upon my coursework.

Project Manager - Project Managers are responsible for planning, monitoring, executing and controlling projects. They are responsible for the success or failure of a project.
