What Internships should i look for if i plan to major in Business?

Hello! This question is somewhat difficult to answer because it really depends on what you want to do with a business major. Depending on what aspect of business you're interested in, the internship would really vary. At the most basic level, I would say there are 2 main dimension to working in business: 1) the function , and 2) the industry.

By function, I mean, are you interested in something like marketing or PR (public relations), or accounting, or finance?

By industry, I mean are you interested in working in something like media (e.g., people magazine), or consumer products (Proctor & Gamble), or technology (e.g., Google), or health care (e.g., a pharmaceutical company), to name a few industries.

Depending on the function and industry you're interested, the internship opportunities really vary. I think you should think about what it is about business that interests you. Also, something I did not mention is the size of the business--it's very different working for a big publicly traded corporation, than for a family company, or a new entrepreneurial start-up. If you're not doing so already, you should start reading business papers, magazines and blogs that people in business read--this will give you a sense of what working in business in all about, how people in business think, and the different opportunities. Some places to get started are Wall Street Journal Business and Bloomberg.

The other important thing to consider is that you don't have to major in business to work in business. I went into business after graduating college with a liberal arts degree--what was important to my employer was that I had good grades in college (especially in math and science), entrepreneurship & leadership experiences, and good communication skills. I went into business because it gave me the opportunity to travel around the world, meeting interesting people, and the job I took paid very well. I'm not sure what college your are going to and how firmly you are set on business majors, but here are some article about majoring in business (the pro's and con's):

Time "Why a Business Major is No Longer the Ticket"
Wall Street Journal "Business Majors, but With a Twist"
CBS "8 Reasons Not to Get a Business Degree"

Think about why you're interested in business, and if you have other questions, please ask, and I'm happy to answer!

I would recommend that you look for internships in smaller companies if you want to major in business. At a smaller company it is much easier to get exposure to all functions. Most of the time people's jobs cross functions. For example, at a four person environmental engineering firm, I handled marketing, sales, human resources, and compliance. I got to see how the business ran and learn first-hand which functions were most interesting to me.

As others have mentioned, the universe of jobs in "business" is broad and diverse. You may already be aware of this resource but if not a great tool for researching jobs in business (and other fields), getting insight on qualifications and even perspective on what a typical work day may look like is O-net: https://www.onetonline.org/

Having more information about different business disciplines or practices may help you focus in on an initial set of areas to explore. Picking a more narrow set and using a "start somewhere" approach will give you practical experience and insights and the opportunity to refine your focus going forward based on what you've learned.
