Which major is easiest to find a job in business school?

Many people tell accounting is best major but I don't like it. #accounting #business-school

accounting business-school
Thank you comment icon What do you not like about accounting? Accounting is the basic language of business, those who are successful have a minimum understanding of it. You do not need to major in accounting but determining what you do/ do not like about it can narrow down the other choices for majors to pick from. Bridget
Thank you comment icon Accounting is practical. You don't need to go to graduate school to be one. How do you find easiest, accounting at my college is a 60 credit major. Are you more interested in marketing? Good Luck! Rachel

Gaby E.’s Answer

Hi Ena,

To add to the 2 comments above, accounting is the safest major, but if you don't want to work in accounting, then don't go through it! As long as you have good grades, good experience (even as a student), get reasonably involved and network well, you'll land a fantastic job!

Albert’s Answer

When I did my undergraduate Business program we had to take take intro courses for all the Business majors. That was a good place to learn the basics that you would need in any Business job and it gave the students opportunity to try everything. I ended up enjoying two of the courses the most and then went about researching careers in each of those majors until I decided. There were several factors I took into consideration such as if I could imagine myself having a career in the field, did the field provide the sort of benefits I valued, and of course how likely would I be able to find a career in the field. For the last one, my business school provided statistics on job placement within 3, 6, and 12 months periods after graduating and these statistics can also be found on several other career sites.

Vincent’s Answer

Hi Ena,


Mikio is right. Too many people tend to choose their career by looking at the salary or the perspectives.


At first, you should really choose a subject that you like. Think about it, most of your time, you're going to spend it at your workplace. If you don't like what you're doing, you ain't going to be happy.


There are so many options with wonderful perspectives. I'm sure you are going to find yours.


My advice: if you want to know if you're going to like a job, look to the description of a job post. It's a good way to know how your future job could look like.
