I have a question On a Business Major

<p>What exactly is this? Is this mostly math? How hard is it to double major? Is this a worthless undergrad degree to have?
Also, how hard would you rate this major.</p>

<p>70% of kids go finance</p>

<p>which is Ibanking or sales and trading, which is when you work 100 hours a week, but starting salary can be like 100K+</p>

<p>20% go consulting, which is like, you tell people what to do to make the company better.</p>

<p>the rest go management, public relations, health care stufs, etc.</p>

<p>Go into Accounting and you can make 75k a year within 5 years of being in your field. It is some math, but its all very elementary (so far for me).</p>

<p>depends</p>

<p>for most schools calc 2 > calc 3 > calc 4 > calc 1</p>

<p>What schools are you looking at? That tends to matter a lot more with business...depending on the school you're attending, certain doors will either be open or closed to you. For example, what chanman said about Investment Banking and Consulting won't apply to somebody who isn't attending a top-20 business school. Business is the nation's most popular major, and there just aren't 300k IBanking jobs available each year.</p>

<p>Well, I assume that undergrad school doesn't matter and with that I am attending the cheapest school I can(I have a free ride) at SUNY Plattsburgh.</p>

<p>weeeeeeeeeee</p>

<p>well it does matter if you want to work right after college, im pretty sure if companies see a lot of promise in you they'll pay for your grad school. is this true?</p>

<p>metfan2121: sometimes, but not always. If they do this, they'll be expecting a long-term commitment after grad school (probably 5+ years). Even in this case, many companies will want for you to work for them a few years before going to grad school. Also, if you're hoping to get an MBA, it is very difficult to even be accepted to a school without work experience.</p>

<p>i know many people who get sponsored to go to MBA</p>

<p>right, but if you were having your company pay for your MBA then you would be accepted into a grad school because you would have work experience. the system makes sense, theyre kind of training you because they think you have potential, so they want you for 5 more years and are willing to pay for your intellectual improvement. i like the idea :)</p>
