What can you do with a Business Management degree.?

Question

I am thinking about changing my major to Business Management... I already have tons of management experience, but I can get higher paying jobs if I have a degree.

Anyone a business management major? Any advice or comments...

Answer 1

I understand why people ask what kinds of jobs they can get with degrees like history or Philosophy.  But I don't understand why they ask what kinds of jobs they can get with a degree in Business Management.  Isn't it kind of obvious from the name?

It is even more obvious if you specialize in one of the concentrations.  Accounting majors get jobs in accounting.  Finance majors get jobs in finance.  Marketing majors get jobs in marketing.  Operations management majors get jobs in operations.  Strategy majors get jobs in strategic development or in management consulting.

Do you really not understand this?

Answer 2

That's my major, and you are right...you'll earn more with a degree in it. For you, already having managerial experience is a huge plus. That combined with your degree, you should have no problem finding a management position.

As for what kind of jobs are out there for management majors, there are tons of them! That's the biggest reason I chose this as my major. I would either like to go into hotel management or open my own business, not quite sure yet!

But good luck in whatever you decide to do!!!

Here's a website that lists some jobs you get with this degree.

Depends where you get the degree from.

If it's from Wharton, MIT or Stern like schools, they will huant you down for executive positions.

If it's from average state U, those grads are usually called waiter,
