In short, it's hard to predict exactly what will happen. Things are always changing, especially now with AI and automation affecting so many jobs.
However, a business degree is one of the most versatile choices you can make today, even with an uncertain future. It equips you with a broad range of skills and knowledge that can be used in many different fields.
I suggest you keep up with market and technology trends and never stop learning. Getting a business degree is just the start of your learning adventure! 😊

Hi! In both business and tech you will see changes constantly. I know I have in the last 15 years. Adapting to change is a critical life skill. It's how you respond and adjust to new circumstances, challenges and opportunities. You will need to understand and accept that change is inevitable. As Ernesto said, once you carve out a place for yourself, you need to stay relevant in that market. Cultivate a growth mindset. This will allow you to learn, grow and develop new skills along the way. Always be open to acquiring new knowledge. When you do possibilities are endless!

Hello! Focus on what interests you. This will keep you engaged while you're in school. I didn't know what I wanted to do either, so I chose Business Management because it seemed broad and useful in any field. You can't predict the job market when you graduate, or even 20 years later. Trust your instincts, and everything will make sense eventually. I went to college for Business, but did something else for 16 years before switching to a corporate job. I'm really glad I got my degree.

If you have the option, try to engage deeply with both of those topics. Whether that takes the form of a double major, major/minor, some kind of hybrid program, etc. There are a lot of people who are good at "business" and a lot of people who are good at "tech" -- perhaps counterintuitively, there aren't that many who are good at both. Both of these career paths will exist in some form forever and they will always need intermediaries who can operate effectively in both worlds.

Hello Trinity,
I highly encourage you to not only pursue a business degree but also consider earning a certification, like the Project Management Professional (PMP), Associate Professional in Human Resources (aPHR), or a Lean Sigma Yellow or Green Belt. While it's hard to predict the job market in five years, it's clear that the business field is very competitive right now. Aim to stand out by gaining experience through internships or even starting your own business. As others have mentioned, keep learning and stay updated with the latest trends. You've got this!

Hello Trinity,
First, study what you like the most. Study the career you feel called to.
Answer this question: What do I want to study? What attracts and excites me the most? Then, over the years, you will carve out a place for yourself in the job market.
Second, as you progress in your studies, you will observe the requirements of the job market.
The world we live in has dizzying changes. You must carve out a place for yourself in the job market, whether you graduate today or when you do.
Whatever the career, every professional in any field must face the challenge of finding their niche in the job market. By finding that niche, you will then find demand for what you studied.
I hope this answer is useful to you.
I wish you the best.

HI Trinity, A business degree can be a great way to find where you have interests. There are many areas of study which have concentration in subject areas. This will help you to determine an area where you have a passion for the type of work that is applicable. There is a lot of ground to cover in the freshman and sophomore years. So make sure that you work very closely with your guidance counselor to determine which paths are available. This will help you find the support needed to stay focused.
If you have a desire to be more technical there are several universities which offer both a Technical College vs a Business College. So you may want to consider which programs align best with your interests. Most importantly, find what appeals to you. Nothing can replace a motivation to succeed at whatever you choose.
Take some time to create a 5 year plan with goals with milestones also will help you stay on track.
Wishing you all of the best in your pursuits!

Hi Trinity,
You should follow your interests but having a career in business is almost guaranteed. It has always existed from the beginning of time and will continue to exist as it touches almost every industry. I am not saying that tech is also not stable and there will always be a career in tech, but what that looks like will change. If your interest is in business its core principles will likely remain the same while the tools you use will change.

"Change is the only constant in life." Keeping this in mind, a business degree is a smart choice because it remains flexible and ready for the future. By adding tech or data-focused skills, staying updated with industry trends, and gaining hands-on experience through internships or projects, you can make your degree even more powerful.
It's also a great idea to boost your degree with certifications in specific areas like Project Management Professional (PMP), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Lean Six Sigma, Microsoft Azure, or Amazon Web Services (AWS). You don’t have to get them all; just choose the ones that excite you and match what the job market needs now and in the future.

Thank you for your thoughtful question. It is natural to wonder about the future, especially when considering a career path or a significant professional milestone. However, it is important to recognize that none of us can control what the future holds. What we can control is how we approach each day—by putting forth our best effort, maintaining a positive attitude, and embracing opportunities to learn and grow.
The fact that you are already thinking ahead demonstrates a readiness to adapt and thrive as the world continues to change, as it always has. This proactive mindset is a tremendous asset. By focusing on doing your best each day and remaining open to new experiences, you are laying a strong foundation for whatever challenges and opportunities may arise.
Rest assured that if you continue to approach your journey with diligence and curiosity, you will be well prepared to navigate the evolving landscape of your chosen field. Trust in your ability to adapt, and remember that consistent effort and a willingness to learn will always serve you well.
Wishing you every success as you move forward.
