<p>Seems a bit ambiguous. And that they're teaching natural entrepreneurial skills anyways..</p>
<p>I've heard of one that went into McDonald's regional division or something and another that went to ATT doing something..</p>
<p>So, who hires Business Administrations? It seems like there are too many of them, relative to companies that need leaders for their new Wal-Marts, etc.</p>
<p>You can go into sales, consulting, training programs--lots of things.</p>
<p>It's all going to depend on you.</p>
<p>That's the thing.. I'm not a big fan of these "liberal artsy" degrees with no firm career path..
At least a random beginner salary for these?</p>

Well these are the highest paying straight from undergrad..
sales: depends on you..
consulting: you will start out as a business analyst and then you will go to business school to get an MBA. As a Business analyst, 55K+Bonus.
audit: 45-55K
Investment Banking: 55K + Big Bonus = 100-150K</p>
<p>What is "sales" and "consulting"? Any more descriptive job titles?</p>
<p>don't listen to these general business students.</p>
<p>they learn nothing but "buzzwords".</p>
<p>if you really want to do business, do something OTHER than business except you're heading into accounting, which btw is the only courses that teach something that isn't common sense.</p>
<p>finance - do economics/math/statistics/computer science
marketing - do sociology/social psychology
human resources - communication
mangement - liberal arts (laugh now, but you might be surprise to find how many people hire liberal arts as manager because of their broad knowledge and understanding of humanity and the society)</p>
<p>The thing is though.. I don't get why there is such a large need of "managers".. What walmart, sears, kroger, doesn't have enough? Then again, I think the same thing about engineers..</p>
<p>Let me guess who told you we have an excess demand in "managers"...</p>
<p>....</p>
<p>well, that's a toughy...</p>
<p>....
hmm...</p>
<p>.....hmm...</p>
<p>.....
hmm...</p>
<p>....Let me take a really "wild" guess...</p>
<p>.....</p>
<p>Business majors?</p>
<p>abcboy why do you read and post in the business major section so much if all you do is make negative comments about that area of study? find something better to do with your time...</p>
<p>why are you stalking me all the time? you got more posts than me, buddy, and I made my account a year earlier than yours. Seems like you are the one need to find something better to do with your time...</p>
<p>Yeah Cards4Life, there are a lot of pathetic members on this board who have nothing better to do than to disparage others. Just let abcboy do what he needs to do as he really needs an outlet for his frustrations. He and others like him are obviously compensating for something, something severely lacking in their lives..</p>
<p>Truman, I know what you're saying, but I have to respond to the other post.</p>
<p>Stalking you?! I reply to ONE of your messages and suddenly I've become a stalker? Maybe more than one, but I think just one. I have more posts than you--but atleast mine are productive and actually HELP people with their questions not give them negative advice and I don't troll a certain board just to shoot the topic of the board down.</p>
<p>Basically 3 things I've learned from you from reading your messages are:</p>
<p>All business majors are stupid and there are better things to study
Business is the easiest major
You'll be stuck in a boring job with a major in business</p>
<p>I guess my marketing internship for a major college athletic department that will last until I graduate (May 2010), my volunteer work at the Olympic Training Center this coming summer, and my future career in marketing or management for a professional sports team, company (Nike, Adidas, etc), or network (ESPN--who has already offered me an internship for Summer '08, Fox Sports, etc) are all useless and will get me nowhere in life. </p>
<p>By the way, we're not buddies and you probably think I'm a guy. Guess again. But you probably think men are better than women anyway.</p>
<p>But from now on, unless I get called out, I'll do my best to ignore your ignorant little comments.</p>

<p>That sounds fun:) Still not a very career-oriented major to me.. But I guess with so many taking it, there's gotta be jobs somewhere.</p>
<p>Seriously. You could spend 100 bucks on a 1 year subsription to The Economist and still learn more than you do in any business college in 4 years.</p>
<p>And don't business students learn how to invest? They sure learn it the hard way.</p>
<p>abcboy you should include that on your resume, that you read the economist for a year and now know more then business majors. it would probably help you get far in the business world.</p>
<p>Well, you might as well tell your potential employer so since they probably don't have not a single clue what you have learn in a business degree. Not that business majors themselves do neither. But anyhow...</p>
<p>For someone with a more useful degree, i'm not sure if it's even necessary...</p>
<p>Enlighten us. What "more useful" degree to you have?</p>
<p>Enlighten me. What "less useful" degree to you have?</p>
<p>i would venture that a major in swahili is less useful than business major as it offers no practical economic value to people in developed nations</p>
