Absolutely, pursuing a four-year degree sounds like an excellent strategy. Alternatively, you might consider beginning with an Associate's degree in one field and then completing a Bachelor's degree in another. For instance, I've noticed that cosmetology is often offered as an Associate's program or a certificate, although only a handful of institutions offer it as a minor. As you explore your options, ensure that your chosen minor can be paired with a business major.
During my undergraduate studies, I found that certain majors allowed for a wide range of minors, with business being one of the most flexible. Other fields, such as engineering, tend to be more restrictive.
A business degree could open up a world of opportunities for you. It could pave the way for interviews in product sales, positions in supply chain management, or even temporary associate roles. The possibilities are vast and may surprise you as you gain more experience in the field. So, keep exploring and seize the opportunities that come your way!

Hi Aliyah,
I think that your plan looks very good. Any career that is related with health, beauty, well being is very promising. You get business acumen from the business major and then you build your business around something that you like and you feel energized to do like cosmetology!!.
In my case I studied electronic engineering, then I started to build my self as a leader and now I am getting certified to be a supplement and nutrition consultant so..... Go for it!!
That sounds like a great plan if you want to start/work in a cosmetology business! If you want to start your own business, i would encourage you look into possibly an entrepreneurship minor as well.
