<p>I am an international student and a minority in the US. But I am pretty confident in my English language even though I have to keep practicing. I also speak Japanese, Korean, and a little bit of Spanish.</p>
<p>And I am a Kelley direct admit and I don't know what would be a good major for me. I may go back to my country and work there or maybe if I am fortunate I will get a job here(not likely).</p>
<p>Considering my background, what would be a good major? I would like finance or marketing so far. Accounting is out of mind since CPA would only be valid in the US.</p>
<p>But one thing I would hate to do is investing or stocks. Because stock market is pretty much gambling I believe. It is like a legalized gambling to me. And I gotta admit that I am not a good analyzer. </p>
<p>Please let me know what would be a good major for me. Honestly, no matter how hard I study, my english communication skills would be not as good as native American born grads, so consider that when you give me an advice.</p>
<p>HAVE A FANTASTIC EASTER!!!</p>
<p>ask yourself these questions first:
- why do I want to major in business?
- what are my interests?
- what am I good at?</p>
<p>Your question seems pretty vague and no can make any suggestions based on the information you have provided.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice coolkidd.</p>
<p>First of all, I like to do business because we live in a world full of business meaning I can work in an area that I am passionate about. </p>
<p>Also I love to interact with other people even though I am a foreigner. I have been very social in the States and made great friends here. I think my socialization skills will be a plus when I become a business person. </p>
<p>Also I am interested in politics, business, economics, and some other social science areas. So business should be a good major for me considering the demand in the job market, income, etc. </p>
<p>What advice could you give me after reading my post?</p>
<p>you said no investing so finance isn’t for you then. every other business major seems fine based on what you are looking for…MIS, accounting, business organization/management, marketing. keep in mind that you don’t need to be a business major in order to be a part of the business world. just do what interests you and whatever you are good at.</p>
<p>There is more to finance than simply playing with stocks. You may want to read about corporate finance before completely dismissing finance as a major:</p>

<p>Uncertainty makes investments a bit of a gamble, but people are compensated for this risk in the form of higher avg returns (no risk, no reward). Anyways, it’s not like people are simply throwing darts at a board. There are numbers behind the valuation of any asset whether it be a stock, a private company, a piece of equipment, or an office building.</p>
<p>Thanks vectorwega. I completely agree with what you said. But based on my ability and taste, I don’t think I will be good at investment. I am more of a guy who works harder than anyone and wants to get recognized for that rather than my ability to make alot of money by investing once. </p>
<p>I want to work continuously and consistently to make my company thrive. Would finance still be a good major for me? I would personally work for a multi national bank where I can meet variety of customers and be kind and accessible to them.</p>
