Ray’s Answer

Yes, it is. But be prepared to specialize in a few different areas. For example, if you are more finance geared, get CPA certified, or if you are more technology, get involved with Quantitative Development.

Keenan’s Answer

Really have to agree with the other statement made. I have an MBA and pretty intelligent to boot. But a quick drive down the interstate and you’ll see billboards all around for every college touting an MBA to their mother and brother. This is causing dilution.

Once the cornerstone for epic... it’s lost it’s spark. It’s still a good field, but you really need to consider a specialty. Perhaps it’s finance, perhaps it’s accounting... but general studies is something I caution against.

Keenan recommends the following next steps:

Jonathan’s Answer

Good major that gives you many options when you start your career. As an example I chose sales and it allowed me to do many different roles with multiple companies. Once you are with a company you can then look at other places that you may like to try.

Lindsay’s Answer

Having an undergrad in business is very helpful for almost anything you want to do. If you want to try to start your own company or work for one a business degree is going to give you the fundamentals to understand the "how". I also think you will be able to find your career path while majoring in business. That being said - I don't think having an MBA puts you any further ahead than a peer without it. It may help you get the interview but most companies today want you to have experience over the additional degree.

I actually majored in history thinking I wanted to go on to law school but fell into a business role. I've learned on the job and my experience has taken me further in my career path - however, if I could go back in time, I'd at least have a minor in business.

Hope this helps and good luck!
