<p>how much does a buisness major make? Do you have to be in a special field to make lots of money? Does international buisness make alot? Is there a big salary difference between a bachelors and a MBA?</p>
<p>There's really no way to answer your question with any degree of specificity. At the upper end, it's possible to graduate from Wharton, join a major investment bank, and earn $100,000+ your first year. On the other hand, if you graduate from Podunk U. and go work for a small business, you won't come anywhere close to making that much. Salaries in international business will tend to be higher, but the jobs are also harder to get. There is a big difference in salary and more importantly, long term earnings potential between a bachelors degree and an MBA.</p>
<p>What the hell is international business anyway, I keep hearing it what do they even do.</p>
<p>It's the same as any other business job. You just happen to be dealing with companies that conduct business overseas. The reason salaries are often higher is that the firms that operate internationally tend to be larger and more profitable.</p>
<p>^ profits do not necessarily drive higher salaries. There are tons of large highly profitable companies that pay jack crap. Higher salaries are generally a product of workforce supply and demand pressures [ie. low supply of workers that can (and are willing to) do the job properly combined with a high demand for that position creates higher salaries].</p>
<p>Also, many times in international business a foreign language is crucial to know. This eliminates most business majors due to the fact they only speak english.</p>
