<p>I recently graduated in May of this year, I love art and business and my plan for the future was to become an Art Director which you have to major in graphic design and I also wanted to become an entrepreneur . Now I love the job description that an Art Director does but i don't know anything about graphic design. So I was thinking that I should wait to become an Art Director and get my Associates degree in Culinary Arts as my back up plan just in case becoming an Art Director fails and still do Entrepreneurship. The only thing is the school I am going to doesn't offer Entrepreneurship but offers Business Management and Business Administration. After the Spring semester I want to transfer to a better school that offers my majors in arts and business. I wanted to know what classes I should take for Entrepreneurship that is the same for business management and what is the difference between the two. Also any tips on what I should do as a plan. Any suggestions would be good. Thank you.</p>
<p>your major doesn’t matter for entrepreneurship. Ask Steve Jobs, he’s a drop out. Zuckerberg was a psychology major.</p>
<p>Talk to people who have successfully started their own businesses. Learn from them.
If you’re worried about business know how and terminology, go onto some schools website(UCB, Harvard, Yale, doesn’t matter) and skim all the powerpoints from their MBA program going several weeks back and then watch a few videos on youtube(Stanford Business School has an amazing series on entrepreneurship). It can be done in a week or two. </p>
<p>No one will hire you to be an entrepreneur. In fact the only real benefit to have a degree will be social proof (and a strong network if you made it for yourself, get to know the people in business clubs, know the people running things). Major impacts social proof less than the prestige of the institution. I will admit though, some people get intimidated when I say that I majored in Quantitative Economics and minored in Statistics and Accounting. Saying I went to MIT would be more impressive though.</p>
<p>Some of this advice applies to cooking and becoming a magazine editor as well. You can teach yourself the basics of what you need quite quickly. The rest comes down to networking and getting experience. Talk to people who have successfully done what you want to do. A degree is often worthless without the other stuff I mentioned.</p>
