Just a warning for any of you bros that are considering a business degree... dont do it. only jobs you might be able to get are receptionist or administrative assistant jobs but you have to be a female to get them...
so if youre a male considering a Bachelor's in business... id reconsider...
accounting is good if youre good with numbers, anything specialized is good, just dont get a broad business degree like management, marketing, etc... 100% worthless srs

Don't be *******s... very few people work in the same industry as their degree. It's all a big sham! You best be worrying more about joining clubs, volunteering, interning and meeting people. Also get in shape and drink milk so you youngass *******s can grow a little taller and get better jobs (srs).

I have my BSBA in Marketing and just got a very good job with a healthcare IT company that will remain nameless.
A BSBA is very versatile in its application. The key is to present yourself well, do your research on wherever you are applying, and have a decent GPA.

Straight truth. Many would be better off by simply going to community college and finding an internship to gain experience and land a job. I've come across a lot of people who have graduated from great schools with strong majors but they're still relatively clueless when they enter the working world. Weak computer skills, trouble completing mundane tasks such as putting a presentation together, speaking...Originally Posted by ClownToucher
Jakes on me. I was in management before I ever stepped foot on a college campus. I started college in my mid/late twenties and although it hasn't hurt me, I surely am not CEO/10k day.*MFC*

Experience prevails mostly. A degree with zero experience will get you no where.
A lot of good jobs are usually through the back door. It's who you know..."Grab your phucking nuts for once in your life. Have some ownership, some credibility behind your words and actions. Mean what you say; do what you say. Follow through for something for one time in your life. ONE TIME, one time in your life. You will feel high a you've never felt before. When you follow through with things in life guys, you achieve the confidence & mentality that anything is possible"

Don't just get a degree, but be sure you have a job lined up and experience to sell yourself. If it's business go manage somewhere. There are a lot of retail places, and fast food joints that you can get management experience from.
The key is to have legit experience and to actually do something. I have numerous projects on my resume that still remain even after some industry experience. I have people trying to recruit me all the time because of it. If you can't get a job maybe your resume isn't good enough.

Well, you're in the vast minority. Most people get a degree before they start looking for a job and that's practically a ticket for a ride on the failboat of life.Originally Posted by stoliolie17
But you can still get in entry level in accounts payable/receivable and work your way up because you have a degree. With a general business or similar degree, your options are very limited.Originally Posted by joelz54_99

I can see how the major is not useful by itself, but I'm thinking of delving deeper into marketing/business as I have the technical skills to produce stuff.

it took you this long to realize this?
Any degree that isn't specialized math/science/engineering is a BIG JOKE!!! Unless you go to a top school like me (-;.
But srs, I laugh at all my friends who majored in sports administration, hospitality & management, art history, history, sociology, psychology, Im like "Was it worth it?"
Then they spout some nonsense on what they learned, etc, dumbasses....
While I was out working at a trading firm to pay for my college, they were out drinking on thirsty thursdays, wasted wednesdays, etc & wonder why they can't find a job paying more than 35k...phuckin idiots!!

totally 100% completely untrue. I am a Business Analyst for a fortune 200 company, and working here has made me realize the need for business degrees.Originally Posted by MillerDecaXC
Now there is some hidden truth to OP's vague statement, and here it is. If you have NEVER been in a corporate world environment, you may learn or intrepret the information in a way that will be hard to translate into your position later. It would be best to work on a degree in business after landing an entry level job in a corporate environment (the same premise can be said about any degree and its corresponding field however) but I think the business degree ranks higher on that list than anything else.
HOWEVER business degrees are pretty much what break you through your glass ceilings on your rise through the ranks in the corporate world. Trust me i know first hand. Even experience will eventually get you so far.
The content of the classes Business degrees usually run together from someone not acclimated to a corporate environment, but if you have the luck of finishing a master's while holding a position in a corporate world, then you will see how relevant and IMPORTANT a business degree really is.
OP is just making a ignorant statment to bring you down to his level of inadequacy
