How to Choose a Business Major
How to Choose a Business Major
One of the most important life decisions a high school graduate makes concerns further education. "Do I go to college or not? And if I choose to, what am I going to study?" I entered college over 20 years ago and spent two years struggling with Engineering Science classes before I realized, "this is not what I want to do with my life"! So I dropped out. Twenty years later, I found myself in front of school doors, ready to decide, "what should I major in this time"? I did a self-assessment (https://www.thebalancecareers.com/self-assessment-tools-choose-a-career-526172) and found that "business" was the right career path for my life. I only had to choose which business major I would focus on now.

There are many business degrees, and many people are getting them. So it is essential to make yourself stand out from the crowd. That is why it is wise to specialize in a specific business major, not just general business. Now, this does force you to make a big decision earlier in your education, but it will help to give you more direction and make your resume stand out from others (businessstudent.com)
Having already spent years working in the industry, I chose Supply Chain Management. Everyone's path is different, and what might work for some might not work for others, but knowing your strengths and weaknesses is the first step to helping you choose a business major if that is your career. Also, seek advice from an advisor knowledgeable in various fields of business, and look to do an internship in your area of interest. While gaining experience, you also gain a great reference to add to your business resume!
