<p>Currently, I'm enrolled in Economics, but I want to change my major into business management, for I think I'm not suitable for fields with pure Mathematics. At least, I'm a guy who is kind of sensitive, and demonstrate strong ability in perceptual actions.</p>
<p>My mother told me that Management is a common major without specificaly required technique and anyone who has a proper IQ will be able to master all the skills of it. "You won't lose the chance of getting employed, but it's also much harder for you to be super" She said.</p>
<p>Fellows, what role do you think management plays in the job field? If you hold the same opinion as my mother's, what major do you recommend as a compensation of Managemet?</p>
<p>Why not major in something that’s less math-intensive, then? To my knowledge, accounting doesn’t use very complex math. I’m sure there are plenty of other business majors out there, if that’s what you wish to pursue, that don’t use much math, especially once employed. Economics, on the other hand, requires some decent amount of math (if I’m correct. It’s also not a business major, but rather a social science, or at least in my school it is).</p>
<p>Will, JAM, actually I agree with you that econ is kind of social science. My perception of Econ can still be kind of vague, Econ concentrates in policy making. But I want pursue something applied, and that’s why I want to change into business, after all they have certain kinds of relations.</p>
<p>In addition, the nowadays society is a compound of interdisciplinary elements, suppose I major in accounting, companies are more likely to employ staff who are more useful. Double major has become the choice of a increasing amount if people.
What combination do you recommend? In the field of Business.</p>
<p>Sorry to sound rude, but idk where the heck you’re getting your info from. </p>
<p>1) Econ being a “field with pure mathematics”?</p>
<p>Econ is nothing close to a field with pure mathematics. Its more theoretical and you will sometimes use some simple math to apply to those theories and concepts, but its certainly not considered a “pure mathematics” field</p>
<p>2) Management: “You won’t lose the chance of getting employed, but it’s also much harder for you to be super”</p>
<p>Yes you will lose the chance of getting employed. Management is too general and provides no actual skill. No one can learn how to manage by taking a few management course. If you think or have been told a management degree will get you some type of upper managerial job, you are grossly misguided.</p>
<p>3)“nowadays society is a compound of interdisciplinary elements, suppose I major in accounting, companies are more likely to employ staff who are more useful. Double major has become the choice of a increasing amount if people.”</p>
<p>I’m not too sure what you’re trying to say here, but an accounting grad blows a management grad out of the water in terms of employment opportunities. Accountants are very useful.</p>
<p>As far as the double major, the only reason to do one is a) its quantitative degree with less technical one, such as math/econ, b) you are undecided which field you would like to go with and want your options open, such as psychology/accounting for example, or c) fields that just naturally mesh but not in the sense like accounting/finance because they’re both business, more like math/CompE or CS, because the level of math involved is high and it would help you learn it better. No one is going to ooohhh and ahhhh at the fact that you have two degrees, one being management and the other being econ. You can go collect as many degrees you want, and it wont make you employable if the degrees themselves arent very employable.</p>
<p>Management is basically a degree that surveys all business disciplines without actually gaining any specialized skill in the process. I would avoid it.</p>
