<p>Overall does it? or which area succeeds better - finance, accounting, managment, admistration?</p>

<p>What do you consider a good job prospect and good salary? But most people would say they do overall have good job prospects and good salaries. Accounting probably has the best outlook on job prospects but finance probably has the best outlook on salary. Also varies if you mean undergraduate or graduate, and how much job experience you have in business because more experience scales better with a management job than it does with an accounting job. </p>

<p>Business majors are a dime a dozen. </p>

<p>Although business majors are a dime a dozen, but a business needing a business major is dime a dozen as well… Far better than most occupations. I read an article in my local paper that gave my university a 96% employment rate for professional sales major with an avg. salary of $56,000 within a year of graduating and an accounting employment rate (only bachelors) at 98% with an avg. salary of $54,500 within a year of graduating. I really don’t go to a big-name school either so i’d imagine bigger name schools would do even better. Granted those starting salary averages aren’t necessary high, they are rather good for most people especially in this economy with only an undergraduate.</p>
