<p>First question:
Is business administration a good bachelors degree to get in general?</p>
<p>2nd: What career should I pursue?
I hate math and science. I find them both very boring. I love subjects like English, Government, and Sociology. Id really like something along the lines of a business degree. I am very good with money. I am also very much a leader but I prefer to always work with a team vs by myself. I love discussions because I enjoy hearing someone elses point of view and learning about their ideas. </p>
<p>3rd: Does it really matter what school I go to? My GPA is pretty good but not Harvard good, I could raise it. I also live in Houston Texas and I really don't want to go to Austin etc. Going to school elsewhere would be expensive and I love it here. Is it worth it?</p>
<p>4th: What steps have you taken to stand apart from the crowd?</p>
<p>Please give me any other advice or info if something comes to mind :)</p>
<p>It is hard to know for sure if you will like a business major… English, Goverment, and Sociology don’t have a lot in common with classes in accounting, finance, business law, economics, marketing, operations, etc – the types of classes you usually take as a business major. </p>
<p>You will hear varying opinions on whether it is a good bachelor’s degree. From a very good school it can be… from lower quality schools, not so much. If you can get great grades and internship experience during college, it can work out well for you.</p>
<p>Why do you not want to go to UT-Austin? Their business school is phenomenal. It’s the best business school in Texas.</p>
<p>Honestly I love Austin a little less than Houston but it’s truly awesome. UT has a great rep as we all know. I’d just be away from everyone that matters and it’s <em>very</em> expensive and it’s not even that high on the charts for business. Am I wrong?</p>

<p>What kind of schools do you want to go to? I’m guessing you don’t want to be far from your family, which is understandable. How much can your family afford for college? Because your in-state, UT-Austin is around $25,000 (it’s even cheaper if you live off campus). Yeah, your wrong. McCombs business school is not only the best business school in Texas but also one of the top undergraduate business schools in the US. If you want to stay in Texas after college, McCombs can take you far depending on what you want to do.</p>
<p>Thanks for the help :)!
“If you want to stay in Texas after college, McCombs can take you far depending on what you want to do.” What would be the the ideal careers to pursue afterwards?</p>
<p>intparent thank you too!!</p>
<p>It depends on what your interested in. What specifically in business are you interested in?</p>
<p>Yes, I think your question is pretty generic. There are many, many types of business jobs. What is “ideal” for one person would not be good for another person. You might try spending some time with the Book of Majors from the College Board to see what kinds of jobs are available with different types of business majors. Then research those jobs further online to see what appeals to you.</p>
<p>If there are a few business majors or concentrations that appeal to you, maybe try a couple of classes in each in your first few semesters of college. And spend some time in the college career/placement office discussing what kinds of internships and jobs are possible with each major before you decide for sure.</p>
<p>Are you a rising junior or senior? If you’re a rising junior, I wouldn’t worry too much about what exactly in business you want to do. Just get good grades, test scores, and enjoy high school.</p>
<p>If you’re a rising senior… well… time to start researching :p</p>
<p>As for your question regarding if your undergraduate education matters, for business - YES. There is a huge difference between a UT-Austin graduate and an unknown school. In-state for UT-Austin is a great deal.</p>
<p>Does law interest you?</p>
<p>I am beginning my second year in college. Currently I am attending a community college. </p>
<p>I’ve never spoken to anyone about being interested in pursuing law but my friends and family have always suggested that It’d be a good fit for me. What I’ve read in the past years and what I’ve experienced in DECA has led me to believe I’d love almost anything along the lines of a business degree. </p>
<p>Thanks for your advice!</p>
