If you are about to finish high school and still dont know what to study in college but have the opportunity to go to college (I know many can’t and that’s ok). Study business administration and marketing; you’ll either learn a skill you can apply in a corporate job, or you can use it to be trully successful opening your own business and being independent anywhere in the world.
I really dont understand how knowing how to run a business, market a business, and know how to financially manage a business is bad advice. Please do explain, because at this point I’m either missing the obviouse or the internet is just daft (and no I don’t mean that as a personal isult to you or anyone, I’m really just baffled)
Business administration and marketing aren’t bad skills to have. But the majors are flooded and neither are considered particularly difficult to achieve. If your intention is to stand out in the workforce, those will fail you.
I mean my main intention would be to use those skills to be successful in running my own business instead of going to an office, but like I said, only if I was offered to go to college paid for and I didnt know what to study (aka. Parents want kid to go to college no matter what).
Because if there’s one thing this world needs, it’s more MBAs to help keep making the world into the great place we currently know.
My honest opinion for kids graduating highschool and don’t know what to study in college, get all your gen eds at community college and transfer in once you know what you want to study.
That’s what I did. Not all my gen ed classes transferred, but plenty transfered for it to be worth it, especially because my community college ended up being free for me through a local government program.
Yeah, I had a buddy do that, and they’re in a better place than I, who chose to go directly to college and drop out and end up there anyway after I realized I suck at math.
Still ended up in a decent place, but damn the loan bill sucks.
Ok, so you dont really want to know how to open, market, and manage your own business, you just want to study the obscure history of a particular art form in order to work at McDonald’s or Starbucks and then complain about that your corporate overlords dont pay you enough to make a living wage… got it
EDIT (Because my dumb phone deleted it): If you dont want to go to a 4 year college and study a trade skill at a comunity college, then do it. I just personally feel like too many kids want to study a career that not only doesn’t pay, but is vastly overpopulated with applicants and not even close to have a descent amount of jobs.
Edit 2: My main thing is, study something that will give you the tools to be independent and not have to work for a soul sucking coorporation. If you know what you like to do and can study it in a community college, then do that. But business admin and marketing is universally useful to know how to run your business successfully, and its not an MBA (Masters in Business Administration)

This might be the worst advice i’ve ever seen.
Those degrees and art degrees are likely what meme refer to.
