What is better? Business or Engineering?
Agreed with everyone else here. And to put it into perspective for you, a friend of mine graduated in Engineering, but given the job market, no one was hiring. So he applied at a retail store outlet. He was offered the job with good pay, and automatically placed in a management position. Management is its own degree at my school. But he was able to work in a management position without the degree, just by having the engineering degree. Engineering is harder, but I find it more enjoyable (I hate words like "ergonomics", "fiscal", "deductible", etc.). At least, it's more interesting to me. I'll take learning how to design an automotive transmission any day over learning how to manage someone's account. Engineers start out with higher pay, most (before the economy collapsed) were making $60,000+ starting. Success depends on your ability to move forward. Though you specifically trained to work your way up to a CEO in business, you might be competing with a really success-driven engineer (who had no training for such) for the CEO position. Better hours? I'd say engineer, since some jobs out there are "field" jobs, and driving to and from locations counts as your work time. Unless you're in a sales position in business, then you might have better hours (but engineers are usually hired for the technical sales positions; i.e., they have to know about the product they're selling, how it works, efficiency, and other stuff business people can't understand.). If you want to work in any engineering job and some business jobs, go for engineering. If you want to work in any business jobs (but no engineering jobs), go for business.
Small business eBay. LLC or S-Corp, which one is better?
I am currently doing business on eBay selling small electronic items. I buy in bulk and sell retail. I am thinking of registering for a company and get a sales tax ID. Which one do you think is better, LLC or S-Corp? Currently I do all things by myself and profit is about $3K/mo. I know that from tax perspective S-Corp is more beneficial, but LLC is less paperwork thus less complicated. Based on this alone, I am leaning towards LLC since it will be less stress and I will have more time to grow the business. Please let me know what you think. Thank you for your help!
Which degree is better business administartin or business management?
HR people are going to consider them the same at the bachelor's level. At the graduate level they are different degrees - Business Administration is the MBA and Management is usually an MA or MS. The one that will give you the better opportunities is whichever better develops your quantitative (math) skills and your communication/presentation skills. Look at the requirements for the two degrees and pick the one with the hardest math component. The difference between the two is likely that the business administration is less specialized and includes coursework from among the many areas of business whereas the management has more coursework specifically in "management and leadership". Since "manager" is rarely an entry level job hired based solely on education (it usually requires applicable experience as well) - the generalist degree is likely to offer the widest range of opportunities starting out in the workforce.
