I Want A Career In Business. I Just Finished High School. Do I Study Business Administration Right

I want to do Bachelor's in Business Administration. Which country should I go to?

It really depends what you're looking for like what's in your price range and what you want to concentrate in. Since I am a student in the U.S. I can tell you some of the most prestigious (and priced accordingly) schools are generally on the east and west coasts. That being said, every business school has their specialty. For example, if youre looking for accounting I would go for U.C. Berkley or Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Both have very high job placement rates right out of college for their accounting programs. The cost depends whether you're in state, out of state, or international. Generally speaking, in-state students benefit from lower costs. Theyre also sometimes structured differently: in-state student pay tuition up to 12-16 units (about 3-4 classes) while out of state students pay per unit period. College selection really comes down to value, desired specialty or concentration (marketing, accounting, etc.), prestige, job placement rayes post-undergrad (which is the most important factor since starting a great career is why people go to college in the first place).The living standards on the coasts are high, and so are the costs if you're near urban areas. As with any country, there are both upper- and lower-income housing areas, based on what you (or your parents) can afford.

What are the advantages of studying business administration?

Very few if any, in my opinion. I have a Bachelor’s in business administration with a marketing concentration and a Bachelor’s in nursing. I could’ve done without the business degree entirely. I had other motivations at the time, I won’t go into all of that. To the point, I already had an analytical mind, a general concept of supply and demand, and a professional demeanor from being an only child and also starting to work at the age of 16. It is far more fruitful to settle on a specific trade of some sort. Otherwise, a graduate with a degree in business is tasked with selling him or herself to the marketplace and in interviews with out any good answer to the question, “What is your specific skill? Why should I hire you as opposed to anyone else with a degree in business administration? Do you have anything particular that you do and can bring to this particular company?” In other words, HVAC, in my opinion is a wiser choice. Examples I know about personally include EKG technicians and phlebotomists in a hospital, both of which are often trained entirely once hired with absolutely zero experience. Or, one can pursue a very quick course and certification in either before applying into the position if there seems to be competition for the hiring into either of those types of positions. Both can get you into a position where you can spend your time to work the ranks to managements, human resources, even transition into sales and marketing ( each of those is a concentration under the general umbrella of business administration ). However, finance is an exception. I think that it does make sense to concentrate on finance (another concentration under the general business administration umbrella), IF you can see yourself in a position where you are dealing with payroll, in financial management, you may want to become a CFO, even if you eventually want to become a CEO or COO, a finance background is helpful.

What concentration in business administration is the best?

BS (bachelor of science) applies to computer science, math, economics (at some schools). BA (bachelor of art) could mean economics as well. BBA (Bachelor's of Business Admin.) is offered at certain schools through their Business School, which means you are specializing yourself in certain fields at an undergrad level, such as organizational management, marketing, accounting etc.

Honestly, people that get the most job offers and highest pay, are those with BS degrees or degrees in finance, economics, with concentration in math or cs. (if that's what you are interested in). For more specialized fields you would need to see what your school offers, but many specialized majors are only offered through graduate programs.

If you get a BA or BS, you should probably go for a MBA in the future, but if you don't plan on getting an MBA, then BBA would offer similar courses in specialization and background that you need to get a good job.

However, all would mean nothing if you don't do well in them and get at least a 3.5 GPA. Only then will you get a job/internship with a good company. So, no matter what you decide on, make sure it interests you, and will be something you'll excel in.

Investment banks and commercial banks usually look for finance, accounting, economics, and math majors. They usually want people who are more analytical with quantitative skills. They usually make the most out of college (and work about 80-90hr weeks) since the money's really good (up to $100,000 salaries), it is one of the most competetive fields. Best of Luck.

Criminal justice degree or business degree?

You are a wise man for asking this question.

My friend smoked a ton of weed in high school, and then had an itch to become a cop in college.

He studied criminal justice, had an intership with the State Police, and started interviewing with police departments. During his interviews, he did well, and he made it to the polygraph stage. During the polygraphs, he didn't think he could beat the machine by lying, so he told the truth. Unfortunately, he wasn't hired BY ANYONE!

Stick to business. However, to be honest, I wouldn't study business administration. Accounting and finance majors have better job prospects.

Abers - It totally matters that he was a drug dealer. If they ask the question and you lie about it, that will show on the results. If you tell the truth, you have no chance of landing a job with a history of selling illegal drugs.

Do you know why a business administration major would need to take a physics class and lab? How relevant is this course to their field of study?

Generally, taking hard science/STEM classes is something I'd like to see more people do. Even if it is not directly applicable to your major it will broaden your horizon and teach you how to think through problems and their possible solutions in a systematic, analytical way. The analytical skills and ability to wrap your head around a new field of study will be of value to you even if you feel like the actual subject matter is far removed from your major.

Is business information technology worth it to study?

A2A Worth is a subjective criteria especially when you are talking about future job markets. Before jumping into another major that will utilize your current computer skills, it is important to understand why you feel that you will be unsuccessful. Computer Science is a blend of Mathematics, Engineering and Business, so depending on your strengths, you may want to move in those areas. It is your programming skills that is required for IT, so if you do not like (love) programming, then you should pursue a different Business major such as Accounting, Finance, Marketing, etc.You proposed direction is Business, so there are a number of different concentration in Business, some more Computer Science and some more Management. Computer Information Science is applied Computer Science in Business where Information Technology is end user and administration of applications such as Operating Systems, Database Management Systems, Web Interfaces, and the like. The difference between CIS and IT is programming. There is more programming in CIS than in IT.CS teaches Software Engineering, CIS teaches Application Programming and IT teaches Software Administration: CS builds, CIS uses, and IT manages. In the entry level jobs, CS makes more than CIS, and CIS makes more than IT. However, if you plan on pursuing Management such as an MBA, IT is a concentration in the MBA program. Managers need to understand IT.So is Business Information Technology worth studying? Only if you have the people skills to become a manager. A first level manager makes the same salary as a Senior Software Engineer and a Senior Business Analyst. Otherwise the more technical you are, the higher income you will have.
