What types of electives in high school will help me in the long run?

Question

Last year, I took Computer App/Keyboarding, and this year I'll be taking Microsoft Word and Excel. In the future, I want to go to college for entrepreneurship and eventually open my own business. Next year, I plan on taking Small Business Management and Office Assistant as my 2 electives. Office Assistant seems like a fun class, but is it a bad idea? You get to work in the school's office for a period. What other electives should I take in my senior year?

Answer 1

I'm assuming you mean that you want to go to college for business.  If you want to get into top undergrad business programs, you should probably take more challenging classes.  Colleges (especially top colleges) want to see you take a wide variety of courses.  Also consider the fact that you're likely to change majors once you get in college.  Try to take honors or AP classes.  I couldn't really see those classes getting you into top undergrad business departments or top universities in general.

Answer 2

web design

enhanced communications

financial planning

at my school, there's a class called

Entrepreneurs in Action and Small Business Management
