<p>Can you succeed in a business major if you are good at socializing? (accounting, management, and finance)?</p>
<p>If by bad at socializing you mean ugly (and therefore people don’t want to talk to you) then that could be an issue.</p>
<p>If you’re normal looking with a terrible personality, there are many like you out there, you should blend right in.</p>
<p>I would suggest trying to be a BIT more outgoing. That way you can start networking. I think not socializing will make things a bit harder (VERY MINOR) but I would still socialize!</p>
<p>It’s all practice and breaking out of your comfort zone. You can pick this up at any age.</p>
<p>I used to be completely kept to myself. I have forced myself to break out of the comfort zone. I’m not sure if you are still in high school, but anytime I’m doing a group project and we need to present in front of the class, I always volunteer to do the all the talking. </p>
<p>It’ll feel weird, especially for me because I have anxiety problems, but just doing it once will make you a more confident person and a better speaker. TRUST ME.</p>
<p>If your friendly, I don’t think it will matter much. You might not stand out, but you’ll still be able to work your way up the ladder. You might not like the way people perceive you though. Just relax, be courteous, respectful, and keep the conversation topics going if they seem interested. Its not that hard. It might be awkward at first, but you’ll come around to it.</p>
<p>If you are the awkward one at work, then there will be a problem. People who only go in, do their work, and then go home do not get far in any industry. You need to socialize. You spend more time with these people at work than people at home. </p>
<p>Think of it from a manager’s point of view. If you have someone who can do the work, but he weirds people out or does not fit the culture in the work place, he decreases productivity for those around him because he will be hard to approach if someone has questions.</p>
<p>There is so much to talk about with co workers. Wake up and read the newspaper. You will have tons to talk about. Watch sportscenter, read the wsj. Just realize these people want to be friendly with you.</p>
