Nathan’s Answer

It really depends on the industry you want to be a part of. Many cases you will be asked to complete project management related job. If you want to go down this road, have your employer pay for your PMP (it will add to your job security). Also business development (sales and marketing) is a huge market for business admin majors.


There are also opportunities as a office manager, but it is statistically proven that once you have an office manager job, it is hard to break out of that market.


Hope this info helps!

Candace’s Answer

An undergraduate business administration degree can be a powerful start to a career because you will learn the basics of running a business - typically including economics, statistics, marketing, operations, corporate financial basics and more advanced concepts like investing. It can be a good entry into to management development programs for larger companies, who like to recruit business majors into jobs like sales, marketing, HR, and operations management, and consulting. It can be equally powerful if you choose to be an entrepreneur as you will learn the key levers of driving your own business. Either way, if you choose a business degree, it is important to seek internship and work opportunities that round out your experience and that will shape your career story. For instance, if you want to be a marketing manager, you might seek experiences in sales, advertising and consumer product management to demonstrate you fully understand the nuances of the function and can show growth and experience over time. Find people who you admire and who can introduce you to people in business roles who can create your network. Do some informational interviews and don't forget to write thank you notes and stay in touch. It's the small stuff that matters!
