<p>I am not sure what I want to major in. I am interested in basically everything, but I would like to study something that will make me succeed. I would also like to earn a good living... That's why I am considering to study business. But honestly, I would be more interested in communications, global studies, international relations, geography, music, art..... But I am not that sure about good jobs at those fields. Does anyone here know better?
Also, universities cost a lot of money, and I am thinking I could better pay off my loans if I studied business. Am I wrong?</p>
<p>I am thinking of starting from a CC and transfer to a top uni afterwards. Can anyone recommend any community colleges around NY and Boston?
Thanks :)</p>
<p>You can sometimes transfer from a CC to a good college but rarely to a top one --top schools do not accept many transfers. Apply to good colleges within your range. First two years are usually general education --try a few fields and major in what you enjoy and in what you do well in --that is the key to success--do the thing that you can do better than most other people, college career counseling and your teachers can help you make decisions that will lead to careers.</p>
<p>you have to ask yourself what "success" means. If it means lots of money, business or engineering to ibanking, or medicine, or reality might be the way to go. Or law. There are jobs which just make lots of money. Is that success to you? If success is being happy, and studying something you find interesting is a component of that, fine. If you also want to make lots of money, it's possible from any major. Really, it is. Do people who major in business make money because of their business knowledge? Or is it the type of people who major in business also are good at making money. I think that it's probably both. You could do some sort of double major if you think that studying just communications, or international relations, geography, or music, or art will not make you employable or earn you a high paying job. Universities can assist you with financial aid, and scholarships exist if you are willing to go after them. Also, consider liberal arts college, because many of them require you to study broad areas, although there are advantages and disadvantages of lacs. Most people don't get a job relating to their major, and if you want to, you will likely need to get a more advanced degree than a BA/AB, or BS.</p>
<p>Study what you are passionate about and you will succeed. It's that simple. If you study what you "think" will bring about success, but you have no interest in it, you will not be able to do what is necessary to succeed in that field, regardless of its potential. Don't study business because you think it's a good thing to study; study it because it interests you.</p>
<p>Realize that many (if not most) people successful in business didn't major in it in college or even take a single "business" course. They learned on the job. Many companies now don't want business majors; they want people who know how to communicate and think creatively, and who they can train their own way, not the college's way.</p>
