Careers in business administration?
Business Administration is one of the more "generic" degrees. You get taught a broad range of basic skills that can be used in most any position in the business world. It's the degree I chose because I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do. Ok, maybe I knew what I wanted to do, but had the sense to realize it would be hard to make a living at it! :) A lot of schools offer a variety of different "concentrations" with a marketing degree. The good thing is, you can often take some of the basic business classes before deciding on your concemtratoion, so you can get a better idea of what aspects of the business field really interest you. Common concentrations are Finance, Marketing, Administration and IT. I chose a BA with a marketing concentration. I've used my degree in many different ways. I was an office manager for a market research firm and oversaw the market research activities. I ran a retail store. I was an IT instructor. I was an email administrator. I am now a product and project manager. That "general" degree gave me a lot more flexibility in the careers I chose than if I had gone with something more concentrated like Engineering. Good luck to you in making this deicision!!!
Business Administration vs. Management vs. Marketing Undergrad Degree?
I think you're slightly misinformed on some of that, but it's totally cool because you're in high school. What you do after college will likely have very little to do with what your major is, and at the same time whatever you major in will not dictate what you do afterward. For marketing careers, you can definitely major in marketing or business administration or general management or just about anything else. As long as by the time you're interviewing you have some command of marketing topics (you've done internships and taken some classes) and above all have proven you're smart and capable to the potential employer. Marketing is a heavily people-focused career - you must be a people person and be able to connect with people and anticipate their reactions and thoughts. It's pretty simple - if they like you, they will want to hire you. Just don't give them a reason to have to not hire you. You don't need to get an MBA, but to get to the higher levels in a marketing career you should probably get one because it'll make a world of difference in your salary. It doesn't mean you won't be just as good as your MBA peers or you can't do the same things if you don't get one, it just means you'll be paid less for doing it. Salaries starting out right out of undergrad in marketing can range between 30K-70K, depending on your experience and how well you can convince them that you're better than your peers. Marketing Assistant roles are not really marketing roles, and will offer only 30K-45K. Marketing analyst and marketing specialist roles (both entry level) should be able to net 45K-65K in general, and a little more if you've shown them you're smart and capable. After 3-5 years, should you choose to go to Business school and get an MBA, you can come out making 90K-130K depending on what you've been doing before. The people who are in the top 10% of marketing professionals at their level should be able to get to a 90K-110K salary within 3-5 years with or without an MBA. After that, the sky is the limit. Good luck!

Should I go for business administration or biology?
Passion is no substitute for hard work and attention to detail. Those with passion can often endure the hard work and attention to detail, but it sounds like, from reading your wall of text, that even with passion you don't see the results from hard work or maybe you don't really work as hard as you think you do, or maybe you're not as passionate as you think you are.I have an MBA and I can tell you, attention to detail is in Business Administration. So is math (examples:net present value of an investmentcalculating an ROI [return on investment]understanding how many FTEs [full time employees] necessary to complete a projectetc.. )not really physics or chemistry, but there's project management, finance, marketing, human resources, supply chain - all of these are just as intricate and detailed as chemistry and physics, each with their own rules and formulas and frameworks.. all made more difficult by the introduction of humans into the process. So please don't think that a BA is any easier than a BS (bachelor of science. A BS as in Bullshit is the easiest of them all).Honestly, I wouldn't worry about being an excellent student - Its good to have a goal and all, and yes right after college you get better options and maybe slightly more money - but in my career I have never been asked what my grades were in college, and it certainly never factored into me getting a raise.The other thing I want to point out is, why can't you combine them? You could double major in Biology and Business Administration, you could get a minor in one or the other. Anything biology related in the private sector has some sort of business aspect to it. You could manage a lab, or a health care office, or you could be an accountant at a pharmaceutical company, etc. There is no reason why they have to be mutually exclusive.Now, you'll notice if you've read this long that I have yet to recommend one course of action over the other. This is deliberate. I believe in people making their own decisions, because that's what you have to live with. I hope I've shed some light on how those options might affect you, but at the end of the day, its your life and you should do what you want. Talk to your professors or counselors. Get a mentor, or network with seniors in both majors to find out what they are going to do with their lives... I say this because - the Internet is a shitty place to get advice..
Should I get a degree in Business Administration or Accounting?
I am thinking of switching from a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Technology to something else due to the saturation of the IT market. My research indicates that Accounting is one of THE most available jobs and is also one of the highest paying non technichal degrees, much higher than Business Admin. My ultimate goal is to start my own business, any business. With a degree in accounting I could go on and get my MBA in accounting so that I can take the CPA exam in my state and start my own business. I could also get a Business Admin degree in undergrad and then an MBA in accounting and still qualify to take the CPA exam in my state and hence, still go into business for myself. It is a tough decision to make though. The BA degree looks easier and is very versatile, not to mention very popular at my school. The down side is that most jobs would benefit from a BA degree don't really require one if you have experience. Also, BA majors tend to make about 7 K less.
Should I major in Business Administration or Accounting?
Going through the Accounting route will help you to understand exactly what is involved in the creation of the numbers used in Finance, Marketing and Administration; In the end, the major that you should select should be based more on what you plan to do in the end and if you don't like 'crunching numbers' then Accounting would probably not ignite your passions. Whichever path you choose, you will probably have some basic accounting classes which will give you enough of a base to learn what you need from professional books.When planning the route to an MBA, you will also note that most schools look for 3 to 5 years of experience before you begin. This is important not just for providing greater context for the many papers and discussions, but it also enriches the experience for every other student in the program. (Building a project team with an accountant, marketing expert and executive makes life much easier.) The primary exception to this is when you attend a dual degree program (for instance getting a JD/MBA program to specialize in tax law.)In the end, the career that you build should reflect your preferences (whether that means long hours at a start-up, selecting a spot where you can just work 9 - 5 and check-out at the end of the day, etc.) Best of luck with charting your path and realizing that it's okay to change your mind a hundred times.*To provide context, I have my undergrad in Accounting and my MBA in Economic Crime and Fraud Management after 10 years of experience in IT.
Business admin or supply chain and logistics management bachelors degrees?
I would suggest to go with supply chain management. It pays a lot better and have lots of opportunities. Trust me, you wont regret getting this degree. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_admin... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_chain_m... Business administration is coordinating operations, reporting, organizing, etc. Supply chain management is to track the raw materials, manufacturing, distribution of products, keeping inventory, etc. With your degree, you will have to manage it through the management softwares like SAP. I think SCM is better, but it's upto you to decide. SCM is more specific job, but has plenty of job opportunities. Good luck :)
