So now I'm done, but I have no direction. I have a business management degree composed of high-level math/science, lean/sixsigma courses, and a series of finance courses. I have limited programming experience (matlab/sql) but am very adept to learning it.
What sort of entry level positions would /biz/ recommend? How can I leverage my unorthodox coursework to help me find a role in the business world?
Hey I'm 18 and am going to college in the fall for a major in finance.
I've been researching the markets for a year now and I feel like I'm ready to start investing my money. I have like 4000 dollars.
I just have no idea where to start though.
Also, any advice or long term stocks that you think could help me?

Keep that $4k safe until you have a cash flow.

What is the best way I can learn the markets and how to use them and overall grow my money.
Do you have a degree, and if so from where.
What are courses like?
Do finance majors get jobs, or do they just invest all day
What do you think is the best major /biz/?

you pretty much fucked yourself over by doing a business degree at a shit-tier college. College prestige matters way more for business. Engineering will at shit-tier colleges can still do okay, just not amazing.

Thanks. I thought my pepe selection made that clear lol.
So you think a Financial Analyst role would be a good place to start aiming? What about operations analyst or just business analyst? Right now I pretty much run my family's small business.
