I'm graduating with a degree in business management in a few weeks and have a severe phobia of applying to jobs. I'm just not sure I bring anything valuable to the table. I worked an internship that turned out to be a glorified call center so I learned nothing from it. I broadly remember the topics from my classes but not the specific details that would be needed to apply them. All of the jargon under entry-level business positions looks like Klingon to me. I have a recurring fear that I'll sound like a 4 year old in job interviews.
I'm thinking of seeing a therapist to work this out because there's definitely some self-esteem issues at play, but I'd still like to hear if any of you also experienced this and how you worked past it.
After 7 years, failing out once and finally going back part time while juggling other things I’ve just responded to attend my graduation for my degree! I’m just really proud of myself and wanted to share :)

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone here knows what I should expect if I were to return to Israel (Israeli citizen) from NYC after wrapping up my economics/accounting degree.
I haven’t been in Israel since I was 9 so that’s why I’m trying to weigh all my options as I do truly miss the country and family.
Do employers look positively at it in any way? Or would they be turned off and prefer to hire someone who studied in Israel?
Thank you all in advance!
I figured it’s tier 2 since you still get coop and everything from laurier. The extra year for the math side is not huge for all employers but for something like insurance underwriting it seems like it would be quite beneficial for future employment. Just wanted confirmation that it’s likely around tier 2 ?
What is Management information System? What's the difference between M.I.S Business Adminstration degree with a Business Adminstration or is it M.I.S is just one of the major in B.A.
Im interested in business and was wondering: how hard would an average business or finance degree be? Would a 4.0 GPA be difficult to obtain of you have a decent work ethic?
21 M Filipino Citizen on a Student Visa in the US (No Green Card)
I’m currently on a one year paid OPT/OJT contract after getting my associates degree here in the US. I’ll make roughly $30k-$40k by the end of my contract, and I either have to leave the US, or pursue my Bachelor’s degree so I can legally stay in the US.
Should I use that money to start a business back home? Or use that money to get a Bachelor’s degree here in the US?
It will cost me roughly $30k-$35k to get a Bachelor’s Degree, and mind you, if you are on a student visa, you cannot work outside of campus, and they rarely have hirings in the campus lalo nat COVID is here.
I’ve been working like a dog everyday. I only took one day off since April 1, so I got a lot of OT. I’m starting to feel the burnout, but my desire for financial freedom is stronger.
Thank you in advance for the advices.
I’m a high school senior admitted to the computer science major for each of my schools, and am interested in taking a business minor. Here are some of the ones I’m looking into:
-
Management Information Systems: business & tech, final capstone project that lets you work with a team and solve a problem for a local business
-
Entrepreneurship: Information/some experience. I would like to work on side projects throughout my career and maybe turn them into profitable businesses
3)Business Administration : Learn skills for management, maybe help w getting a tech lead position
- Business Analytics: Oral & Written communication, data visualization, relational databases
Would adding one of these minors be worth the extra work, and which one would you recommend?
Some info on NUS Business Administration degree for those who are unaware: NUS Business has a 4 year direct honours program for students with a GPA above 3.2. However, students can choose to graduate in 3 years without honours.
I am currently finishing up Y2 and I am contemplating if I should get my honours. My current GPA is 4.2, so I am in 2nd upper but it will definitely fall to a 2nd lower after this semester.
I have become very unmotivated to study, to the extent that I have an exam on Wednesday but I can't get myself to begin revising for it. I don't know if it is mild depression or online classes because of COVID-19 but my motivation/discipline to study have been on a steady decline since the start on Y2. I just can't seem to care about studying and grades as much as I did back in polytechnic or even in Y1 of Uni where I managed to maintain borderline FCH.
My current feelings are to graduate ASAP because I don't want to force myself to stay in school to study any longer than I have to. Does anyone have personal experience or a strong opinion as to why I should or should not complete my honours year? Thank you and all the best for finals for anyone who reads this!
More info: I am a mediocre student by all means, I have no CCAs, no case competition experience, no internship experience, tho I am currently actively applying for internships for the upcoming summer holidays and will settle for a low paying one to gain experience if necessary. I am aware that if I graduate without honours, and because I am severely lacking in other areas, internship work experience will be main factor to help me secure a job upon graduation.
So I've been working in the FIFO mining industry as a geologist for about three years now. I enjoy it, but I can't see myself doing FIFO forever. My future career direction is pretty murky at the moment.
The dream is to continue to work in the resources industry, but hopefully in an office-based role. I absolutely love economics and also have a business degree. Any ideas of potential career paths or job roles that would cover both the resources industry as well as the business-side of things? I've done a small amount of research and nothing really stands out.
Out of finance, accounting, business analytics, marketing, international business, and many more, which is the most useful/best-paying degree you can get in your opinion?
Hi fellow Redditors!
It is I, wild master, asking for guidance regarding taking a minor in business while doing engineering (declared into civil). I was wondering if business minors are meant to be completed after the "main" engineering degree? Or if it's meant to be completed alongside? also, has anyone here done something similar? I would love to hear about your experience! ...and if it helps this is what I'm specifically interested in: https://www.uvic.ca/calendar/undergrad/index.php#/programs/rJRup7RM4
Incoming transfer student, wondering if the courses are difficult for Business Administration Degree? Is it worth it? How is it like finding jobs afterwards? Any tips/advice?
I appreciate any feedback, thank you!
Get into the largest national franchises you can, seek employer that offer internal business classes/schools/certifications/seminars, and always market yourself to the next highest position above your level, even if you have to go to a smaller franchise or non-franchise to get it, then move back into larger and larger companies, until you work for the largest company in your area of interest, step back to a smaller company at a higher level, and back and forth until you reach the top.
Didn’t find many answers in Google.
I have a B.S. in marketing and supply chain management with 2 years experience in corporate supply chain. I’m not tryna get into IB or Mgmt Consulting, I just want to give myself a career boost (employer will pay for it).
It seems MBA is better for those who need a quick crash course on business without doing a 4 year degree. I’m looking at the MBA courses and I’ve pretty much taken all of them in undergrad.
TL:DR In your opinion, would you get an MBA if you already have business experience and an undergrad business degree?
I have a business degree in marketing and very unhappy in my current line of work and wanting to get into teaching secondary.
I’ve spoken to WSU who said I could get into the Master of Teaching (Secondary) with a business degree, and teach Business Studies. I’ve also spoken to CSU who have told me I’ll need to do additional units/bridging course to get in.
I’ve read bad reviews about CSU anyways and I can’t commit to WSU, as they don’t have any online options and I’m still planning on working full time.
I’ve applied for UNE and this seems like the best uni for post grad teaching courses, but I wanted to know if any business grads have gotten into this course before. I really have my heart set on it and I’ll be so disappointed if I don’t get in.
I’ve already applied but I’m super anxious to see the outcome. I want to hear some success stories or how other people have worked around this.
For reference I’m 26 years old and already feel like I’m getting into this career too late - so I’m a bit stressed.
Thanks in advance.
Can anyone tell me a bit about this degree? Is it worth pursuing in terms of employment and future prospects? Also how are the courses you are expected to take?
I’m a late bloomer my first time around, I’ll be a 23 year old sophomore in the fall. I chose business because I thought that was the most practical, but everything I’m learning isn’t challenging and doesn’t excite me.
Psych is my interest but the degree is analysis based and not strict problem solving which turns me off.
Would an engineering degree be different? I always get excited hearing about what they do day to day, but I’ve always told myself that I’m not smart enough or my ADHD will get the better of me.
tldr: my current major is boring, my interest doesn’t match my way of thinking, should I switch to engineering?
I have read many posts and found out that many of you say it's not worth to get a degree in digital marketing because many of it can be learned online and it is mostly based on working experience. But to be on the safe side, I think having a degree is still very important
I am 19. As the circumstances are out of control where we’re told to sit at home, I decided to learn programming to make use of time, gain knowledge and might even get a job. I can’t get myself a CS degree for personal reasons. Most importantly, my math basics aren’t firm as a block. I’m a pre-med student and I haven’t given my math exam too because I know I would fail in it. I’m currently learning Java and hoping to make a few projects of my own and move to another language such as C++ or maybe even python just to add it to my resume and mention the projects I would make with them. Simultaneously, I’m going to start a business of my own while I also do my BBA to attain the degree. I am doing both of these to see where my opportunities would land. I am looking for success in either programming or my business so that I could drop out and get a job as there’s financial crisis going on.
Is it possible to get a job in programming(android dev, web dev) in Canada whilst doing your degree for BBA? Or is it hardcore?
Hi, I'm interested in studying business/international business. I heard that UCI has a really good business program, but what about international business?
I have the choice of either studying accounting or Business Admin with a Concentration in Finance. What are the different jobs I can get with the two? Pay is pretty important and I will most likely end up seeking the degree that gives me a better chance at attaining a higher paying job. Thank you.
I'm a data scientist with 3 years of work experience and about to pursue my Masters in Business Analytics. I'm not too keen on continuing in the data science field, and wanted to know what is it that I would exactly need to do to take the product/project management path. (I would like to see myself involved in taking data driven decisions at the organization- a more management oriented role)
