Things that you wish you had known about business majors?

<p>The title pretty much says it all. Is there anything that you wish you had known about either specific business majors or business programs as a whole before you started? Anything that you wish you had done/not done in high school?</p>

<p>How much people expect you to butt kiss and small talk and go on golf trips compared to any other field. I’d rather audit Zimbabwe than that.</p>

<p>I wish I knew before I decided on a college that Finance is pretty much useless at a non-target school. I had the grades to go a target school, but went local for cost efficiency. Now after doing research, I’m realizing I’m pretty much stuck in accounting, which I planned on doubling with Finance, so I dont mind at all.</p>

So if you could go back in time, would you be an accounting major or a finance major?</p>

<p>I’m not sure tbh. I like the idea of doing consulting work. And accounting isnt really a good pathway for that. But I also understand that while Finance, consulting, banking, and the like are more flashy, accounting is more secure. It wouldve been a toss up still, but I wouldve liked to have the option.</p>
