<p>I hope this doesn't sound bad to anybody, but my goal is to have a lot of really nice cars. Thats why I wanted to be a business major. I need to make $100K+ a year to accomplish my goal. In case you were wondering, this is my dream car - </p>
<p>2013</a> BMW M5 Sedan for Sale in Springfield, IL 62701 - Global Autosports</p>
<p>So what’s your point? If that’s your goal, all power to you!</p>
<p>I hope you achieve it! :)</p>
<p>PS: c’mon you can aim higher than that…seriously…</p>
<p>So, then what happens after you get the car? Haha.</p>
<p>I’m more of an M3 person myself :).</p>
<p>Too bad you have poor taste in cars.</p>
<p>There also seems to be a positive correlation between unreasonable expectations and low intelligence among business students.</p>
<p>@mrcorgi12: not far fetched at all. Becoming a partner at a major accounting firm in 10-12 years, making 7 figures is not a stretch at all.</p>
<p>In regards to cars. I wouldn’t mind the firm providing me with a driver taking me around in a mercedes S550. (Company car of course)</p>
<p>On a personal level…I’ll take a mercedes SLS AMG.</p>
<p>"@mrcorgi12: not far fetched at all. Becoming a partner at a major accounting firm in 10-12 years, making 7 figures is not a stretch at all."</p>
<p>LOLWUT</p>
<p>10-12 years to partner is a stretch, actually. Assuming age 22 at start, to be partner before 35 shouldn’t be expected at all. On top of that, say you did make partner that quickly (which you wouldn’t), its not like you become partner and immediately make 7 figs. Expect lower-middle six figs for a while. The partners pulling in 7 figures are senior partners who have been partners for a long time. </p>
<p>And the OP says he wants to be a “business major.” Call me a prick if you want, but I’m gonna go out on a limb and say he’s gonna be one of those people who says “I’m gonna major in business admin because I wanna run a company when I graduate” and probably has no idea about the actual lucrative and successful areas of business, i.e. Accounting at a lower ranked school, or going to a target school for IB. I would recommend to the OP to do some research on career options and start working towards them. Big 4 isn’t something you just decide on a whim before you graduate, you gotta work at it from the start and begin to build your resume and pad that GPA.</p>
<p>And on a the car, I don’t see why anyone would get a performance version of a full sized sedan. M5, E65 AMG, etc., it makes no sense to me. You have your family car, then you have your toy. Get an M3 coupe if you want an M BMW, it’ll be cheaper and makes more sense.</p>
<p>Getting a job at a top tier consulting firm is hard enough, they consider recruiting 4 out of 100 Princeton students as highly successful. That’s just for the interview! From Princeton! If that doesn’t give you an idea of how unrealistic it is I don’t know what will. While I respect your dream, well maybe not the car, but more on that later, you need to make sure you have a plan. Saying I want to be a business major indicates your lack of understanding, majoring in business means little, in fact a B.A in Buisness Administration has some of the highest unemployment stats for any major. (Sometimes #1 but usually in the top 5 or 10 depending on source) The Big 4 usually want people with a CPA or enough credits to sit the exam. MBB firms don’t necessarily want business, they want high achieving people that are diverse and hire English majors as well as engineers. Investment banking is another difficult to enter field. While I’m not sure how you plan to earn your moolah, but I hope you’ve done your research before having these dreams.</p>
<p>Also, totally agree with domrom1. Why would you want a sedan? I mean it looks nice and all but get me a nice sports car instead. I’m going for the Falcon F7, fast, sexy, and, as a little bonus, american made. Specs below:

<p>Umm I am not big on cars, but I just don’t like generalizations about Business majors because I am a Business major and so are some of my college friends and none of them are doing it for cars, or the belief that they can just walk into a company and demand to be the CEO. I am sure people believe that when they are 8 years old, but most people in Business that I know want to either be an accountant, aim for the top tier school and do IB, sales, and some just want to make a decent living and have some type of stability in their life before starting their own businesses one day. </p>
<p>I am actually majoring in Business because I like it lol. BUT to the OP… Like I said, I am not huge on cars… most people would call me boring or a square because I don’t really get orgasms off of material items, but if that is what you want to do then do not let anyone stop you… Believe in yourself and bust your bottom until you make it. I would listen to domrom1 and I would do research on each major, and PAY ATTENTION to the ones that are more lucrative (since you care more about money). I’d say Accounting is stable (middle starting pay I think 40-60k) maybe lower or higher depending on where you start, but it is stable and a good choice if you like it… Finance you have to typically go for a top school to get a top job, and if you accomplish that then you will be good, just focus. Marketing I think is risky, and you may struggle a bit fresh out of school to stand out among your vast competition (very competitive), and you have to have people skills and be willing to start from the bottom which is sales. Info Systems… I do not know too much about but I heard if you get lucky it is good (as far as money), however I heard that CS AND CE students would get hired over a CIS,MIS,IS,IT person… Oh and as far as Management or General Business Administration… Please don’t get a degree in those with the conception that you will be a “jack of all trades” and a “master of business”, and be able to just command or demand a management or administrative position. Those are looked at as too broad, and is better if you specialize in another concentration… There are other majors depending on schools such us International Business and Supply Chain Management, and other stuff, but you can research those. If your main motivation is money, then maybe you should look at the top paying majors like engineering or maybe try to be a doctor or lawyer if Business doesn’t work out for you. Best of luck to you.</p>
<p>By the time you’ve graduated from college, got a job, and have attained several years of experience and hopefully a promotion or two, and saved up for a substantial down payment, then you might be able to afford your dream car. The 2013 version, which will have significantly depreciated in value by 2020 or so. </p>
<p>A $100,000 car is out of range for most people, even business graduates.</p>
<p>Yeah, don’t buy that ***** new.</p>
<p>@domrom1: “family car” lolwut?</p>
<p>Lol @ having a family if you want to be big time.</p>
<p>@TeamPunishment Sole Practioner CPA brah. Take off whenever the hell you want and still pull in six figs</p>
