Business, Asia and Traveling question

College Majors Business Major
1

<p>I was interested in a job that would have me traveling a lot, especially to asian countries. In fact, I would really like to be stationed in another country such as China and Japan because I would love to work in that area because I love their language, culture, and stuff like that. I also want a job that pays well - if possible with my interests. </p>

<p>What exactly should I major in in business to make this possible? My uncle said people in business travel a lot, but where you end up is random a lot of the time. Just depends where they need you at the time.</p>

<p>I wanted to double major in some kind of business and a language, such as Chinese or Japanese (not sure which one yet - which would be better in business?). Maybe minor in Asian studies.</p>

<p>And yeah. Sorry if the question is confusing. I want a job related in the business field that would also let me in some way interact wit asian countries. If anyone has any advice, would be nice!</p>

<p>If anyone knows of any other major though that would let me do something like I described above, I would also like to hear it. :)</p>

<p>Chinese would be the better language to learn. Its easier than Japanese and China is growing very fast.</p>

<p>I’d assume it’s less about the major, and more about which firm/position you work in. Of course please correct me if I’m wrong.</p>

<p>If you want to travel, work for an international corporation that does a lot of work in Asia (duh!). From personal experience, I know auditors (accounting major) travel a lot, but I’m not sure if it heavily involves Asia. If you work for the Big 4 in the right position it’s a distinct possibility.</p>

<p>If all else fails, does your (prospective?) university have an international business major/minor? This would be a good place to start.</p>

<p>A lot of big banks have stations in Asia. Finance, Accounting, IBanking ect ect. You need to be fluent in English+2nd language for these positions.</p>

<p>Yes it does offer IB as a major and Minor. Okay. So I guess Finance and Chinese with a minor in International Business would be good. Thanks for all the input! I appreciate it. :slight_smile: That gave me a good starting place. Thanks again!</p>
