<p>Im currently a business management major at metropolitan state college in Denver and still have doubts if this is the direction I want to take. I graduated high school in 08 attended a community college for 2 years and transferred to Denver. Im 21 years of age and I still don't know exactly what undergrad I want to pursue. I want to major in something that gives me job placement, stability, is financially lucrative and is enjoyable. I understand people say do what you love and the money will follow but what exactly could I major in that involves sports and makes great money.I know I want to attend grad school after i finish my bachelors, I am just trying to find myself which leaves me open to other interest towards my undergrad so any opinions and advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.</p>
<p>Probably the most financially stable major is electrical engineering. That would be tough for you to make up time on. And what is enjoyable for you may not be for me. You have to love what you do.</p>
<p>Business majors usually have better job prospects than many other majors (agree with ED that engineering is good, but that would be a pretty big change). Does your university offer any sports management courses that you could take as part of earning your degree? Is it possible for you to intern with a sports team in their front office, or get a part time job in one?</p>
<p>how much time are we talking here for an engineering major? because surprising I’ve always been interested in engineering just never thought I was smart enough to pursue it.</p>
<p>Engineering is the most stable and lucrative undergrad degree. Their starting salaries are high…and they often don’t stay unemployed long.</p>
<p>For you to change now is doable, but much will depend on what courses you’ve taken & what your school requires for engineering…and if you can afford to go to college for an extra year or so. If you’ve been getting FA or a scholarship, then it might not be doable.</p>
<p>As for being smart enough…what kind of grades have you been getting? How strong are you in math? What kind of SAT or ACT did you get?</p>
<p>My university doesn’t offer sports management I would have to attend Denver University for their masters program in sports management. I just moved to Denver however; I really enjoy they’re sports team never thought of looking into that. Thank you intparent</p>
<p>Why do you want to attend graduate school, and in what field? If you’re not sure what you want for your undergraduate major, you’re definitely not ready to even think about graduate school.</p>
<p>well at my community college i qualified for a pell grant which was 5,000 and now that i transferred and moved to denver i still need to apply for FA but i doubt i will get as much as before due to my father’s income. And yes i do agree with you on how sports management is not a stable career.</p>
<p>I am guessing with a business focus until now, it will be a LOT of work for the OP to switch to engineering. Probably only a handful of the classes taken to date will apply. And engineering majors often take 5 years to graduate given the difficulty of the major. The OP can certainly investigate, and if that is really where his passion is, make that change. But it will not be easy.</p>
<p>Engineering is not necessarily stable. Just ask a civil engineer who graduated in 2009, or a computer engineer who graduated in the early 2000s. I.e., like any field, business and industry cycles can make a big difference.</p>
<p>However, when things are good, they are typically a lot better for engineers than for those who graduated in history or biology.</p>
<p>No matter what your major, everybody is subjected to a lay off at some point in their career. Nobody is exactly bullet proof. There is no “utopia”.</p>
<p>chemical engineering. my boyfriend is majoring in that, and the starting salary is $70k i believe. can’t get much better than that for right out ofcollege</p>
<p>In answer to your question, most engineering major make the highest salary, and the reason for that is because math-and-tech-majors are very few and therefore sought after.</p>
<p>You should check out this CNN article; it seems to answer your question:</p>
<p>The right question is: “What would I like to spend the next 35-40 years of my life doing, 40 or more hours per week, that will also provide me with an income with which I can live comfortably?”</p>
<p>If you don’t yet know the answer to the question - and many, perhaps most, high school students don’t - then I’d suggest you choose a college that make it easy to explore options.</p>
