the only thing that was remotely difficult was statistics.

This isn’t a troll job. I’m thinking of switching majors and was thinking about business ademin. My question is how hard is business math, I suck at geometry and algebra so… Thanks for any help.

Algebra? Seriously?

I have a business degree. We were required to take 4 semesters of statistics, decision models/programming, finance, accounting, and supply chain/process management classes. You use algebra in all of those. I’m pretty sure it qualifies as a basic skill. Brush up on your math and stop picking your major based on how easy or difficult it is. If you’re in college to dick around, quit now and stop wasting your parent’s money.
I you’re not going to be helpful than go away.

LOL. That is the best advice in the thread, and you tell him to go away?

x5 from another guy with a business degree.

However, I should mention that having a degree in business admin will not get you a job after college. Have fun getting a job completely unrelated to business admin.

Yeah, no one wants to hire someone to be the boss when that person doesn’t know dick about what the employees are doing.

Unfortunately this shit happens far too often. Luckily I haven’t yet experienced it but my dad has all kinds of stories.

You want a job when you graduate? Don’t wait. Get something now. Internships, co-op, whatever you can.

Network (act like a friend when you could care less about the person) with as many people as possible.

Both the above actions are waaaay more important than what your major is. A business isn’t worth much of anything without relevant experience, so do whatever you have to get the experience. Don’t hesitate.

I got my BS in Finance this summer and I’m hoping to get this lame job at Target to pay for rent and food.

I spend about 5 hours a day towards getting a ‘real’ job.
