What did you end up doing with YOUR degree?

I did Math and went into software development.

Software developer here to tell you that BAs are our bitches. Don't do that. It's just a bunch of paperwork. Get into management or something.
>>1226445
Ah really? I've heard its a pretty good job and thats from IRL's.
I also really want to begin to understand portfolio management and hedgefunds etc..
>>1226448
Well let's put it this way. I work for a Fortune 500 company, and the BAs make about half of what I do. Specialize in something like marketing or finance and you'll probably eventually end up making more than I do.

Finance can help with pretty much any management position in a company, as well as getting into finance itself. The beauty of business education(same as IT) is that the field or industry are mostly irrelevant. You can find a way to fit in anywhere.

What do you think of SCM as a field to enter? Are the prospects shit?
>>1226587
SHIT. Maybe I'm just bitter though, but I'm trying to get out for lack of decent opportunities.
The standard is to work all hours at all times, because "it's a 24/7 industry". The pay is abysmal for some reason though, so your hourly rate may work out even less than being a cashier in some instances. It's also incredibly boom and bust, so job security is poor. Most of the fortunes being made in the industry are people who manage to time the market well since it's so volatile and capable of huge swings.
There are probably half-decent opportunities if you have a great degree from a good school etc, but in that case you would be much better served doing almost anything else.

Thanks for the heads up, I suspected as much. Unfortunately my school isn't considered 'good' so much as average.
Just curious - where are you trying to get out to?
>>1226575

No problem. I wish I knew what I know now when I was your age. There are a lot of things to focus on in business, but for me the important ones are operations, finance and at least a little accounting. After that, it's just a matter of applying that to whatever business you're in. Those will give you a solid foundation in anything.
I can already tell from your attitude that you're going to do well. Keep learning and never be afraid to say "I don't know".
I did fuck all m8
that's why I'm on this board
