<p>Which business major has good salary, and decent hours.</p>
<p>It’s whatever you make with the degree, not the degree itself. The degree doesn’t choose your hours for you</p>
<p>I like accounting and Human Resources and Marketing. Which has good good pay? I want to start atleast 5,000 per month.</p>
<p>For BAs
Accounting: starts at about $14.75 an hour $16.60 after 6 or 7 years.
HR: $13.16 to $17.55 after 6 or 7 years
Marketing: starts at $12.98 and increases to $17.61</p>
<p>All from payscale.com - these all refer to the salary of all people with the major, regardless of what job they went into after graduating. First thing to note is that in accounting, a CPA is really like getting a second degree. It requires an extra year in school and year of work experience while you study day in and night for the exam - which has a very high failure rate. So the numbers could be exaggerated. Second thing to note is that even though this didn’t show up in the numbers I quoted for you, the marketing degree actually looks like it’d make quite a bit less than than Human Resources of Accounting because pay doesn’t look like it goes up much after you get ten years of experience in. Actually, People with more than 20 years of experience make LESS THAN people with between 10 and 20 years. You can speculate on why that may be the case on your own.</p>
<p>You also want to consider that these are are hourly wages, not annual wages. As an accounting major I can tell you one thing for certain - accounting most definitely DOES NOT have decent hours. It’s the thing accountants complain about the most. Endless hours, even outside of busy season. For several months out of the year, 60 hours of work a week is the MINIMUM and 80+ is the norm for some of the more prestigious firms. Accounting is a lot of hours.</p>
<p>I don’t know much about the other careers, though. Your best resource on this is probably going to be your professors - and it wouldn’t hurt to start networking with them now anyway.</p>
<p>Accounting can make some serious bank if one becomes a partner. I’m talking 400k+ salaries. So does Finance. Can’t say for HR or Marketing, but there’s some millionaires in that category as well.</p>
<p>However, choose what you would be best at. If you are good at what you do, you will be rewarded for it. If you are bad at accounting, you will never be a partner. Simple as that.</p>
<p>Well im majoring in finance myself. And yes the degree doesnt mean too much, its all about how hard you work at the job youre at thatll determine your pay eventually</p>
<p>Supply Chain/Logistics or IT were my first thoughts.</p>
<p>Finance. Especially if you can get on as a stock broker on Wall Street. Of course, from what I understand the major firms tend to be very elitist in their employment practices.</p>
<p>I just watched a movie/documentary about the financial situation and procedures on Wall Street and in the White House. A lot of financial advisors on WS or in other major major top companies, although doing it unethically make piles and piles and mounds of money lol it’s ridiculous. Like some CFO for AIG some odd years ago walked away making over 15 million dollars lol granted he was an old ass man and this was right before the reed soon hit in '08 but STILL!! lol</p>
<p>Recession*</p>
