ahh! confusion confusion...business, advertisement, marketing....just what??

<p>SO haha i'm in high school and i've started looking into possible careers and the entire business realm interests me, but i'm really confused about it. </p>

<p>obviously, i know that there are differences between the topics, but i don't understand the specific differences or which i would like to do.</p>

<p>i'm looking for a career
-where i can interact with people
-where i can earn a 6-figure salary and start with a decent salary (50-60k)
-with stability
-with good job opportunities throughout the next 10-20 years </p>

<p>can anybody please help point me in a direction where i can find a job with such requirements? or if you have any suggestions that are totally out of the blue that you think would be a good fit, please tell me! </p>

<p>thanks so much!</p>

<p>Focus on one step at a time. Get to college first, worry about the rest later.</p>

<p>It’s fine if you want to get into business. Use college to determine what you like and don’t like.</p>

<p>This is an impossible question without more info. If you’re going to Wharton, a $60k starting marketing job is realistic. If you’re going to an average business program, it’s not. Then it will depend on where you want to live. 6 figures in advertising is typical in NYC, but not in Portland. And of course how good you are is everything.</p>

<p>Let’s say I do a double major with psychology and business- would that increase my opportunities for getting a job? what could i add to the mix to make myself stand out? </p>

<p>i understand that i have time to figure this out after college but i want to attend a college that is a top school in the subject(s) that i choose…so it’s really important for me to figure this out.</p>

<p>go to usnews specialty business rankings for undergraduates and then go to the marketing deparment website for each school on the list for more information.</p>
