Im having some trouble deciding. As of right now Im in Bs. Management but I was told by a friend that Bs Man don’t really make that much and for some jobs u dont even need a degree. So I am thinking to switch either to CIS or finance. I dont know which one is better e.g. will have a higher paying job, better future outlook, and it wont take long to complete (plan to take 4 classes/sem). Also Im not very good in statistics and would like smth creative. What are CIS classes like? Do you have to learn to program or smth?
Both of them have the same core bs classes which I have completed, so I just need to decide which would be better.
Please help me. Give me as much info as you can… Thnx..
First off, your school should have a career development department. They can help you figure out what career you’ll enjoy most. I’d make an appointment to talk to them… They most likely will have you take a career test and recommend that you take a class or two in both CIS and Fin. This will give you an idea of whether or not you like it.
Second, go to a job fair, talk to people who work in these fields and ask them questions about what they do, why they chose this career, etc. If there isn’t a job fair scheduled for anytime soon, ask professors in the CIS and FIN departments, not only should they have experience working in these fields, they should know people who still work in these fields and maybe they can introduce you to them. Find out if you can do a "job shadow" to see where they work, what it’s like, etc.
Third, please PLEASE do NOT choose a career based on the money… Money isn’t worth much if your miserable and hate waking up every morning and going to a job you HATE.
I majored in Management and your friend is right, most of the jobs dont require degrees if youre wanting to work in the retail biz. However, there are other jobs out there that have to do with Management that make bank, they’re all those CEO (Chief Executive Officer) and COO (Chief Operating Officer). If you want to stick with Management, you can work for Target, they pay really well but only if you want to work in retail. They have a really good program and will help pay for your masters program if you decide to continue your education.
Hope I helped.
