Meteorologists, how would your degree be applied to the scientific research community, if it would?
As a sophomore who just changed to an Environmental Science A.A., I'm exploring B.S. options that will open up more specialized job opportunities. I love considering how weather patterns change or maintain ecological activities, or even interact with the ocean ... but won't I be pigeon-holed into weatherman positions if meteorology is my major?
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?

Should I go for a APICS cert before I graduate?
Hello all, I am currently in my senior year pursuing a BS in SCM. I have been rejected from multiple internships and I’m wondering if it’s because I am not at a top school for SCM. To help me out with job prospects once I graduate, I’m thinking of paying for the ASCM CSCP cert and begin working on it now, so I can have it done by the time I graduate. Is this a good idea? Will it help my job prospects or will my degree be enough? I want to graduate and hit the ground running!

Is a Business Major a good fit?
Hi, I am a junior in High school looking at graduating with an Associate's and hoping to nail down a major. I previously thought about psychology or creative writing but they don't feel like the right fit. I really enjoy writing and want to find a job I can be creative with. I also want a challenge, and something with a changing work pace that keeps me engaged. I was looking at creative directing but I know that is an end game career. What jobs would allow me to pitch ideas, work on projects, or allow me to make ideas into a reality? At the same time I am hoping those projects wouldn't be only numbers on a screen. With this in mind, would business fit? If so, any ideas? I am finding it hard to narrow down any careers. Thank you.
