Being a Business major I find that the field is very broad. Is it smart to shoot for a job in particular when deciding on what major to choose?

Before shooting for a job you should figure out what you are passionate about and what you are good at. For example, are you a leader. Have you ever been a captain of a team or a president of a club. If so, if you like to lead you may want to narrow your major into Management. However, maybe you are good with computers and have some programming background, you may want to narrow your major into MIS..... Your first two years of schools are normally filled with standard science, english, etc.... Use that time to really figure out that direction you want to go and let your strengths and passion lead you.

I find that a business degree has been wonderful for me, but I do wish I would have not gone the generalist or leadership route to an extent. I believe a focus on Finance or Human Resources for example would have given direction to my career. Instead, it was a blank canvas. If you truly don't know what direction to go, though, I would remain a generalist.
