Do not do business (unless you're going to a prestigious bussiness school like Harvard or Yale). EVERYONE does business, which means there really is no demand, which leads to really shitty pay. You can make a lot of money in business (my dad did) but you really have to work your ass off and manage time..
Id agree with this pov if you're someone who wants to jump into a career after college with no relevant work experience. But higher management positions are usually filled by internal or cross company promotions of skilled workers with a lot of experience. Having a business education along with years of full time work increases my potential for advancement in my field. Example: going from the bottom line doing customer service and manual labor to working with a marketing/product development team or regional support team.
I agree 100%
Perhaps I should have been a bit more specific. I was talking about potential straight out of college. Colleges are so packed with business students (its almost turned into a major for people who dont really know what they want to do) that its gonna take some time to separate yourself from the crowd after college. There are people who have a real passion for business and they will always come out on top, while the others will be satisfied with run-of-the-mill, lower-middle class jobs. In business, you get out of it what you put in.
But in the case of the OP, it doesnt seem like he really knows what he wants to do, and business is just his default. This is absolutely NOT what you want to do. Set goals and find the ways to achieve them. Think of your dream job, then envision a plan to get there. If you just jump into a field with no real plans, you set yourself up for failure. Business makes this double-ly dangerous because if you have no goals in business, you're going nowhere.
