College Board has put together a comprehensive list of Business Majors. The biggest thing with any Business degree is you'll want to follow something you're passionate about so you can deliver results. The world of Business is vast and ever changing but those with the most success are the ones that aren't afraid to pave their own way. This could be through Entrepreneurship or being the top of your field (Marketing, International, etc.)
It's also worthy of considering where physically you'd like to work, as some regions will offer higher paying salaries for different degrees.
Finally, Business Degrees are incredibly flexible in the workforce. People can be Business majors and do anything from teaching to leading major organizations, 501C3s to LLCs, the options are relatively limitless.
If nothing else, start taking courses you enjoy in the business space, or talk to people in jobs that seem interesting, then go after your goals!

I would recommend that you focus on a particular area in business. Examples would be finance, accounting, entrepreneurship, or human resources. This isn't a comprehensive list, but focus on one or two specialties. If you are working for yourself, you won't have to pay someone to do those things for you. The other side of that is that there are always companies, corporations, and individuals looking for help with finance, accounting, human resources, etc.

There is a wealth of opportunity within the business realm and it really comes down to what you enjoy doing. If you are a creative person then marketing and marketing communications is a great field to get into. If you are more of an analytical person there is a growing segment with Business Analytics or Market Research. If you are a tech person then focus on computer science or technology development. There is always a need in the business world for individuals who can problem solve and communicate clearly. SO look inwards and see what you enjoy doing and where your strengths are and let that guide you to a field.

Hi Jaden!
There are a lot of great jobs and opportunities out there in all fields of business. My best advice to you is to be open minded and find something that you enjoy doing, and not just focus on having the best jobs and salaries. I majored in accounting and it has been a great experience for me, and it is something I never imagined doing! Over a year before I finished my degree, I was offered a full time job with a good starting salary and amazing benefits. Additionally, there is a lot of demand for young accountants and it opens up plenty of opportunities in the finance realm too. You can do finance with an accounting degree, but you can't do accounting with a finance degree!
