<p>With all the bleak job market news, can anyone provide any feedback about which concentration (Business Administration, Accounting, etc.) in an undergrad Business degree is most likely to yield a job?</p>
<p>You’re asking for a kid currently in HS or for a kid already in college?</p>
<p>Nobody knows where the economy will be in 6 years.</p>
<p>I hire people for a living- and my advice would be for your kid to study what interests him/her, what will challenge him/her to learn to read, think, write, speak a foreign language with some facility, and to excel in some way. (if not in class, than in some EC or campus involvement.)</p>
<p>Nobody can tell you what will yield a job down the road. Accountants are always in demand- but schools which churn out mediocre accounting majors who have no interest in the discipline but majored in it to make a parent happy don’t always end up employable. At some point the CPA exam looms- and it’s tough to get certified if you hate accounting. Let alone get into a decent Master’s program.</p>
<p>Better to find something you love and do well in it, than to major in something you hate and end up at the bottom of the pile.</p>
