Brian’s Answer

This is a heavy question and I will do my best to explain it in a way to get the answer you are looking for. Finance and Consulting are very competitive and popular fields to study in college, since they are very competitive there are not many spots for the best jobs. However, these jobs do tend to be more lucrative than jobs in other majors. Accounting is a stable field to study, there is an abundant amount of accounting jobs that you can get.

Rebecca’s Answer

I believe no one can predict the future. The fields that having high demand now may not have such demand when you graduate. The world keeps changing.

The most important is which area that you are interested on. I would suggest you can do some research and talk the someone who are working in that sector. That can help you to understand that is really you are interested on. If you have an intern opportunity in that area, you can try. There is always a gap between the reality and your expectation.

Hope this helps!

Robert’s Answer

Start out focusing on a general business degree BSBA but take a wide variety of business courses outside of the required general studies. Accounting, marketing, management, finance, etc. One of these may interest you and then you can network about opportunities in the field. You may be able to change one of those to your specific undergrad degree or else a general degree with an emphasis/minor in marketing for example.

Keith’s Answer

Unfortunately I can't offer too much help regarding business programs in particular--my background is in engineering, but I currently work in industry. However, I would encourage you to consider non-business programs as well. Many liberal arts and social science programs provide skills that are useful in business, such as critical thinking, reading, writing, and persuasion. You may find that you can develop these fundamental skills more effectively in a liberal arts or social science program than a business program.


Similarly, a degree in the sciences or engineering can also lead to positions in business. Many business people start their careers as scientists or engineers, and move up to more management oriented positions in their companies.
