What's the use?

It has taken me a while, but I think I have finally come up with an answer to my dilemma. My interests are just too varied to find a suitable degree that will truly cover the mountain of knowledge I seek. So, if only momentarily, I believe I will have to "lower" my goals. Once I have my degree, I can probably get "back on track". So, while I must admit this feels like a "cop out", it is probably the most sensible path.

Business Administration.

In any of it's "flavors", it is probably the most "vanilla" major. And since time is of the essence, I can probably be done with it in less than 2 years. Not a bad deal. In the pit of my stomach, there is an alarm going. "Don't be a wuss". But the truth is, I have wasted too much time not being one. So, as the title says, "what's the use".... of a Business Administration major? Any concentration more desirable than the other? And once I'm done, what are some graduate paths I can follow? Any certifications that would go well with such a degree? Maybe associations I can join? While I'm not exactly the "business type", I guess I can tailor it to my liking. Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance.

ps. No offense to Business Administration majors, btw, I used to be in Marketing. Just more of the "science type".

 

There you go procrastinating again. Accounting or marketing are good majors within business administration, with accounting setting you up perfectly for graduate studies and CPA, CGA, CMA, etc. Someone in this forum has a signature block that includes many professional certifications in the business realm.

 

If you are undecided why not take a liberal studies degree such as the one offered by Excelsior; you can then take whatever subjects interests you to make up the 60 electives (you could include business, technology, science, humanities, etc). The right mix of courses will set you up wel for employment and entry into a masters degree (or a second bachelors degree).

 

It's a gift.... and a curse.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.

 

As a fellow procrastinator, I seem to work better under pressure, I understand your predicament.

 

I feel your pain. That's why I'm going the general studies route. That might change as I move on and find out what I like.
